Despite the influence of other geological and geomorphological factors, chemical
weathering at the Earth's surface is strongly controlled by climate. Thus, a measure of …

Abstract Otavi Group is a 1.5–3.5-km-thick epicontinental marine carbonate succession of
Neoproterozoic age, exposed in an 800-km-long Ediacaran− Cambrian fold belt that rims …

Despite its large size, the Congo Basin (CB), which spans ten countries, has remained an
area of particular interest for scientific discovery due to gaps in Earth science, environmental …

The topography of the African continent is characterized by large-scale extensional features
such as the East African Rift, widespread volcanic activity, and anomalously subsided …

The recent publication of the first spatially explicit map of peatlands in the Cuvette Centrale,
central Congo Basin, reveals it to be the most extensive tropical peatland complex, at ca …

Our understanding of the tectonic development of the African continent and the interplay

The thermochemical structure of the subcontinental mantle holds information on its origin
and evolution that can inform energy and mineral exploration strategies, natural hazard …

A never solved problem in sedimentary petrology is the origin of sandstone consisting
exclusively of quartz and most durable heavy minerals. The Congo River offers an excellent …

The Tanganyika-Rukwa-Malawi (TRM) rift segment in western Tanzania is a key sector for
understanding the opening dynamics of the East African rift system (EARS). In an oblique …

We present new crust and lithosphere thickness maps of the African mainland based on
integrated modeling of elevation and geoid data and thermal analysis. The approach …
