Magmatism of the Kenya Rift Valley : a review. [PDF]
, 2003 Tertiary–Recent magmatism in the Kenya Rift Valley was initiated c. 35 Ma, in the northern part of Kenya. Initiation of magmatism then migrated southwards, reaching northern Tanzania by 5–8 Ma.

Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 1-26., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

, 2022 Abstract. Continental rifts can form when and where continents are stretched. If the driving forces can overcome lithospheric strength, a rift valley forms. Rifts are characterised by faults, sedimentary basins, earthquakes and/or volcanism. With the right set of weakening feedbacks, a rift can evolve to break a continent into conjugate rifted margins ...

Analogue Modelling of Inverted Oblique Rift Systems [PDF]
, 2005 The geometric evolution of brittle fault systems in inverted oblique and offset rift systems has been simulated using scaled sandbox analogue models. Dry fine-grained quartz sand was used to represent the brittle upper crust.

Deep structure of the Baringo Rift Basin (central Kenya) from three-dimensional magnetotelluric imaging: Implications for rift evolution [PDF]
, 2000 Three-dimensional modeling of data from 31 vertical electrical and 24 magnetotelluric soundings collected in the Baringo-Bogoria Basin (central Kenya Rift Valley) shows a thick succession of well-defined tectonostratigraphic units beneath the Recent ...

Spatial and Temporal Pattern of Rift Valley Fever Outbreaks in Tanzania; 1930 to 2007 [PDF]
, 2014 Rift Valley fever (RVF)-like disease was first reported in Tanzania more than eight decades ago and the last large outbreak of the disease occurred in 2006–07. This study investigates the spatial and temporal pattern of RVF outbreaks in Tanzania over the

Seismicity from february 2006 to september 2007 at the Rwenzori Mountains, East African Rift: earthquake distribution, magnitudes and source mechanisms [PDF]
, 2012 We have analysed the microseismic activity within the Rwenzori Mountains area in the western branch of the East African Rift. Seismogram recordings from a temporary array of up to 27 stations reveal approximately 800 events per month with local ...

Scale-dependent influence of pre-existing basement shear zones on rift faulting : a case study from NE Brazil [PDF]
, 2013 Rifting of continental crust initiates faults that are commonly influenced by pre-existing structures. We document newly identified faults cutting Precambrian units in the interior of the NE Brazilian margin to assess the effects of structural ...
