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 …

It is well established that sedimentary margins grow by sediments bypassing through shelf-
and slope-incising canyons onto the basin floor and by sediments being deposited …

Cretaceous aged salt and salt-free basins along the continental margins of Brazil and
Angola/Namibia exhibit a rather heterogeneous geometry and basin fill which implies a …

Fluid flow features such as sandstone intrusions, mud volcano systems and pockmarks
represent well-known geological structures generated due to flow of fluids in the subsurface …

The Congo deep-sea fan is one of the largest fans in the world still affected by presently
active turbidity currents. The present activity of deep-sea sedimentary processes is linked to …

There are two types of emerged relief on the Earth: high elevation areas (mountain belts and
rift shoulders) in active tectonic settings and low elevation domains (anorogenic plateaus …

Abstract The South Atlantic region displays (1) a topographic gradient across the basin, with
Africa elevated relative to South America,(2) a bimodal spreading history with fast spreading …

The processes preceding the genesis of pockmarks and their subsequent evolution has
been rarely studied since pockmarks were discovered in 1970. A high-resolution 3-D …

The southeastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo locally hosts Proterozoic
manganese deposits. The deposits of Kisenge-Kamata are the most significant, but …

Abstract Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is a spaceborne tool allowing near real-time
imagery over large ground footprints of areas hundreds of kilometres wide. SAR also allows …
