Focused Mid‐Crustal Magma Intrusion During Continental Break‐Up in Ethiopia
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Significant volumes of magma can be intruded into the crust during continental break‐up, influencing rift evolution by altering the thermo‐mechanical structure of the crust and its response to extensional stresses.

Deformation during the 1975–1984 Krafla rifting crisis, NE Iceland, measured from historical optical imagery [PDF]
, 2012 We measure the displacement field resulting from the 1975–1984 Krafla rifting crisis, NE Iceland, using optical image correlation. Images are processed using the COSI-Corr software package.

Sensitivity of the grassland-forest ecotone in East African open woodland savannah to historical rainfall variation [PDF]
, 2014 . Fossil pollen records provide key insight into the sensitivity of terrestrial ecosystems to climate change at longer time scales. However, tracing vegetation response to relatively modest historical climate fluctuations is often complicated by the ...

Validating tomographic model with broad-band waveform modelling: an example from the LA RISTRA transect in the southwestern United States [PDF]
, 2007 Traveltime tomographic models of the LA RISTRA transect produce excellent waveform fits if we amplify the damped images. We observe systematic waveform distortions across the western edge of the Great Plains from South American events, starting about 300

MIGRATIONS OF RELEASED SEISMIC ENERGY IN VARIOUS GEODYNAMIC CONDITIONS
Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2018 The properties of slow seismic activity migration have been revealed by the space-time analysis of the total earthquake energy (LgEsum). Our study of seismic activity covers the fragments of the Central Asian, Pacific and Alpine seismic belts: the ...
