Continental rifting and associated magmatism can eventually result in the formation of new
ocean basins. However, the characteristics of magmatism in the latest stages of rifting are …

The formation of magmatic segments in the Main Ethiopian Rift (MER) is key to the argument
that the rift is transitioning from a continental to an oceanic spreading center. In this study …

In magma-rich continental rifts, extension is commonly localized as dike injection in discrete
magmatic segments which appear from surface geology to mimic the along-axis …

The production of the magma volumes necessary for the formation of continental flood
basalts is thought to result from extension-related decompression melting of thermo …

Abstract The East African Rift System (EARS) provides an opportunity to constrain the
relationship between magmatism and plate thinning. During continental rifting, magmatism …

Structure-magma interactions in rifts, particularly those associated with mantle plumes,
contain examples where structure predominantly controls magmatism and conversely …

Deciphering deep magmatic processes driving the onset of continental break-up is
fundamental to constrain our understanding of plate tectonics. The East African Rift System …

Gedemsa caldera is a peralkaline volcanic depression located in the Central sector of the
Main Ethiopian Rift. An integrated volcanological study of stratigraphic sections was carried …

Abstract The Main Ethiopian Rift (MER) is a well-known continental rift whose axial sector is
characterized by the occurrence of regularly spaced silicic caldera complexes and central …

Numerous intertrappean beds have been reported in different sections of the Ethiopian
highlands; however, their detailed paleo-sedimentological characteristics have not been …
