Africa's Cenozoic tectonism is often attributed to mantle plumes, particularly below East
Africa, but their morphology, number, location, and impact on the African lithosphere are …

It has been proposed that Oligo‐Miocene regional uplift of Madagascar was generated and
is maintained by mantle dynamical processes. Expressions of regional uplift include flat …

The force balance that drives and maintains continental rifting to breakup is poorly
understood. The East African Rift (EAR) provides an ideal natural laboratory to elucidate the …

During the last 10 kyr, significant subsidence and uplift occurred on Mayotte Island in the
Comoros archipelago (Indian Ocean), but the role of volcanic processes in Holocene vertical …

Despite decades of investigation, the origin of forces driving continental rifting remains
highly debated. Deciphering their relative contributions is challenging due to the nonlinear …

Abstract The Rungwe Volcanic Province (RVP) is a volcanic center in an anomalous region
of magma‐assisted rifting positioned within the magma‐poor Western Branch of the East …

Two volcanic provinces have been recently discovered during the SISMAORE
oceanographic cruise in the Comoros archipelago in the North Mozambique Channel …

SUMMARY Within the Western Branch of the East African Rift (EAR), volcanism is highly
localized, which is distinct from the voluminous magmatism seen throughout the Eastern …

Fault-propagation folding occurs when a shallow fold is created by an underlying
propagating thrust fault. These structures are common features of fold and thrust belts and …

We present new major and trace element and Sr, Nd, Pb, Hf, and Os isotope data for
Quaternary basaltic lavas and tephra from the Itasy volcanic field, in order to assess the …
