Measuring and modelling deformation during the Dabbahu (Afar) rifting episode [PDF]
, 2010 In September 2005, a 60-km-long dyke intruded the Dabbahu segment of the Nubia-Arabia plate boundary (Afar, Ethiopia), marking the beginning of an ongoing rifting episode.

Analog and Numerical Modeling of Rift‐Rift‐Rift Triple Junctions [PDF]
Tectonics, 2022 AbstractRift‐Rift‐Rift triple junctions are key features of emergent plate boundary networks during fragmentation of a continent. A key example of such a setting is the Afar triple junction where the African, Arabian and Somalian plates interact. We performed analog and numerical models simulating continental break‐up in a Rift‐Rift‐Rift setting to ...

Soft Matter, 2023 Particle rafts floating on expanding liquid substrates exhibit velocity-dependent failure morphology and provide an accessible model system for studying cluster formation and material failure across many scales from the microscopic to the celestial.

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 ...

Competition between 3D structural inheritance and kinematics during rifting: insights from analogue models [PDF]
, 2021 The competition between the impact of inherited weaknesses and plate kinematics determines the location and style of deformation during rifting, yet the relative impacts of these “internal” and “external” factors remain poorly understood, especially in ...

Вестник Камчатской региональной ассоциации "Учебно-научный центр". Серия: Науки о Земле, 2019 The structure of the eastern part of the Gulf of Aden is peculiar for the presence of a submerged plateau and the island of Socotra, which were formed at the initial stage of its formation.

BSGF - Earth Sciences Bulletin, 2023 In the Corbières area, a large-scale nappe has been identified at the beginning of the 20th century: the “Nappe des Corbières Orientales” (NCO) resting over a thick Triassic sole.

BSGF - Earth Sciences Bulletin, 2023 The evolution of the Alpine Tethys margins during the beginning of the African-Eurasian convergence was little studied compared to their evolution during the post-Pangea rifting and oceanic expansion, i.e., from the Early Jurassic to the early Late ...

Measuring and Modeling Viscoelastic Relaxation of the Lithosphere with Application to the Northern Volcanic Zone, Iceland [PDF]
, 2010 Viscoelastic relaxation of the stress perturbation caused by an earthquake or diking event can produce measurable ground deformation over 100 km away from the source. We consider the role of viscoelastic relaxation in two different contexts.
