Our understanding of the tectonic development of the African continent and the interplay
between its geological provinces is hindered by unevenly distributed seismic …

Our understanding of how magma‐poor rifts accommodate strain remains limited largely
due to sparse geophysical observations from these rift systems. To better understand the …

Although the deep, wide basins of the Western rift, Africa, have served as analogues for the
evolution of half‐graben basins, the geometry and kinematics of the border, intrabasinal …

Mesozoic diamondiferous lamproite pipes occur along the Kapamba River within the
Luangwa Valley of eastern Zambia, which is a ca. 300–200 Ma old Karoo-age precursor …

Magmatism is often invoked as critical for assisting strain focusing during continental rift
development, and in driving lithospheric thinning and continental rupture. Accordingly …

Abstract Northern Malawi's Nyika Plateau is a 3,700 km2 large, highly elevated (∼ 2,500 m)
plateau located at the western margin of the Miocene‐Recent Malawi rift and the confluence …

The Precambrian geology of eastern Zambia and Malawi is highly complex due to multiple
episodes of rifting and collision, particularly during the formation of Greater Gondwana as a …

P and S wave tomographic models have been developed for the northern Malawi rift and
adjacent Rungwe Volcanic Province (RVP) using data from the Study of Extension and …

Located at the southernmost sector of the Western Branch of the East African Rift System,
the Malawi Rift exemplifies an active, magma-poor, weakly extended continental rift. To …

To investigate the controls on continental rifting in the western branch of the East Africa Rift
System, we conduct shear velocity imaging of the crust and uppermost mantle beneath the …
