Geodynamics of continental rift initiation and evolution
A continental rift is a nascent plate boundary where the lithosphere is thinned by tectonic
activity. Some continental rifts undergo extension to the point that they generate a new …

Map** sea-level change in time, space, and probability
Future sea-level rise generates hazards for coastal populations, economies, infrastructure,
and ecosystems around the world. The projection of future sea-level rise relies on an …

Cyclical one-way continental rupture-drift in the Tethyan evolution: Subduction-driven plate tectonics
Numerous continents have rifted and drifted away from Gondwana to repeatedly open
ocean basins over the past∼ 500 million years. These Gondwana-derived continents drifted …

GPS imaging of global vertical land motion for studies of sea level rise
We estimate the rates and patterns of vertical land motion (VLM) on all locations on Earth's
land surface using GPS Imaging. The solution is based on a large database of uniformly …

The tilted Iceland Plume and its effect on the North Atlantic evolution and magmatism
Iceland and the encompassing Northeast Atlantic are characterized by abundant volcanism,
anomalously high topography and, in many places, anomalously thick basaltic crust. This …

Coevolution of craton margins and interiors during continental break-up
Many cratonic continental fragments dispersed during the rifting and break-up of Gondwana
are bound by steep topographic landforms known as 'great escarpments',,–, which rim …

Controls of inherited lithospheric heterogeneity on rift linkage: Numerical and analog models of interaction between the Kenyan and Ethiopian rifts across the Turkana …
Inherited rheological structures in the lithosphere are expected to have large impact on the
architecture of continental rifts. The Turkana depression in the East African Rift connects the …

Earth's multi-scale topographic response to global mantle flow
Earth's surface topography is a direct physical expression of our planet's dynamics. Most is
isostatic, controlled by thickness and density variations within the crust and lithosphere, but …
