Abstract The Cenozoic East African rift (EAR), Cameroon Volcanic Line (CVL), and Atlas
Mountains formed on the slow‐moving African continent, which last experienced orogeny …

Carbon from Earth's interior is thought to be released to the atmosphere mostly via
degassing of CO2 from active volcanoes,,,. CO2 can also escape along faults away from …

Deep carbon emissions from historically inactive volcanoes, hydrothermal, and tectonic
structures are among the greatest unknowns in the long‐term (∼ Myr) carbon cycle. Recent …

Understanding the magmatic plumbing system of rift volcanoes is essential when examining
the interplay between magmatic and tectonic forces. Recent seismicity, volcanic activity …

Unusually deep earthquakes occur beneath rift segments with and without surface
expressions of magmatism in the East African Rift system. The Tanganyika rift is part of the …

During the development of continental rifts, strain accommodation shifts from border faults to
intra-rift faults. This transition represents a critical process in the evolution of rift basins in the …

Maximum depths of earthquakes in different settings are commonly thought to lie within a
transition, many kilometers in width, from brittle deformation at shallow depths to plastic …

Abstract The Eastern Rift System (ERS) of northern Tanzania and southern Kenya, where a
cratonic lithosphere is in the early stages of rifting, offers an ideal venue for investigating the …

Although magmatism may occur during the earliest stages of continental rifting, its role in
strain accommodation remains weakly constrained by largely 2‐D studies. We analyze …

Geochemical investigations of volatiles in hydrothermal systems are used to understand
heat sources and subsurface processes occurring at volcanic-tectonic settings. This study …
