Breakup Without Borders: How Continents Speed Up and Slow Down During Rifting
Geophysical Research Letters, 2019 Relative plate motions during continental rifting result from the interplay of local with far‐field forces. Here we study the dynamics of rifting and breakup using large‐scale numerical simulations of mantle convection with self‐consistent evolution of ...

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 ...

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022 The offshore rifted margins of the North Atlantic have a spatially complex crustal structure comprised of variable crustal morphologies, continental blocks, and inherited structures. Recently, deformable plate tectonic models have permitted the interplay

Geogaceta, 2023 The presence of authigenic Na-feldspars in sedimentary carbonate rocks is unusual and its origin is controversial in terms of genesis and timing. The use of optical microscopy, cathodoluminescence and in situ semi-quantitative EDX analysis techniques ...

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.

Insights on Formation of the Gulf of Mexico by Rayleigh Surface Wave Imaging
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022 We used cross‐correlation of ambient noise records from seismic stations in the US, Mexico, and Cuba to extract dispersion data of Rayleigh surface wave.

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 ...
