Magmatic lithospheric heating and weakening during continental rifting: A simple scaling law, a 2‐D thermomechanical rifting model and the East African Rift System

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2012
Continental rifting is accompanied by lithospheric thinning and decompressional melting. After extraction, melt is intruded at shallower depth thereby heating and weakening the lithosphere.

Machine Learning‐Based New Earthquake Catalog Illuminates On‐Fault and Off‐Fault Seismicity Patterns at the Discovery Transform Fault, East Pacific Rise

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2023
Oceanic transform faults connect spreading centers and are imprinted with previous tectonic events. However, their tectonic interactions are not well understood due to limited observations.

Kinematics of the South Atlantic rift [PDF]

, 2013
The South Atlantic rift basin evolved as branch of a large Jurassic-Cretaceous intraplate rift zone between the African and South American plates during the final breakup of western Gondwana.

On the compatibility of single‐scan terrestrial LiDAR with digital photogrammetry and field inventory metrics of vegetation structure in forest and agroforestry landscapes

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
The single‐scan approach to terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) and the self‐terrain‐normalized form of drone‐based digital aerial photogrammetry (DAP) offer practical options for rapid assessment of the vegetation structure in tropical landscapes.

Fault and magmatic interaction within Iceland's western rift over the last 9kyr [PDF]

, 2003
We present high-resolution 'Chirp' sub-bottom profiler data from Thingvallavatn, a lake in Iceland's western rift zone. These data are combined with stratigraphic constraints from sediment cores to show that movement on normal faults since 9 ka are ...

Interaction between transform faults and rift systems: a combined field and experimental approach

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2016
We present a detailed field structural survey of the area of interaction between the active NW-striking transform Husavik-Flatey Fault (HFF) and the N-S Theystareykir Fissure Swarm (TFS), in North Iceland, integrated by analogue scaled models. Field data

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

Fluctuating futures: coming of age in the biggest social housing neighbourhood in Milan Futurs fluctuants : passage à l’âge adulte dans le plus grand quartier de logements sociaux de Milan

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
This article – part of a six‐year ethnographic research project – aims to deconstruct and ‘decolonize’ essentialized notions of adolescence and youth, primarily through the application of the category of intersectionality. The research focuses on a series of educational initiatives implemented in San Siro, one of Milan's largest public housing ...

A possible paleorift zone in the Central Dharwar Craton of South Indian Shield: Evidence from regional gravity anomalies

Geosystems and Geoenvironment, 2023
A conspicuous zone marked with linear Bouguer gravity anomalies encompassed with overall regional gravity high zone spreads about 5° length and width of about 1 to 1 1/2° in the central part of Dharwar Craton is not entirely relatable to surface ...

Degassing history of water, sulfur, and carbon in submarine lavas from Kilauea volcano, Hawaii [PDF]

, 1991
Major, minor, and dissolved volatile element concentrations were measured in tholeiitic glasses from the submarine portion (Puna Ridge) of the east rift zone of Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii.
