Interactions between tectonic, magmatic, sedimentary and hydrothermal processes during
rifting and break-up of continental lithosphere lead to a variety of rifted margin types. As …

Abstract Ocean-Continent Transition (OCT) located between the edge of the continental and
unequivocal oceanic crusts is an ideal laboratory to understand one of the most fundamental …

Rifted margins are the result of the successful process of thinning and breakup of the
continental lithosphere leading to the formation of new oceanic lithosphere. Observations on …

The interaction between magmatic and extensional processes related to the formation of
rifted margins has been and still is highly debated. The interpretation of magmatic additions …

Abstract A three‐dimensional (3D) P‐wave seismic velocity (Vp) model of the crust in the
northern South China Sea margin drilled by IODP Expeditions 367/368/368X has been …

Three‐dimensional seismic and well data from the deepwater **sha Trough are used to
investigate the rift structure and sediment infill of a region formed adjacently to the initial …

To improve constraints on breakup processes that eventually lead to seafloor spreading and
the subsequent formation of new oceanic crust in the northern margin of the South China …

One fundamental lesson from the last decade's research into rifted margins is that
stratigraphic horizons cannot be simply correlated from the proximal into distal domain …

We present a new extensional tectonic model for the Cenozoic history of SE Asia and the
opening of the South China Sea (SCS), proposing a feedback mechanism by which …

Rifted margins result from continental lithosphere extension, breakup, and transition to
seafloor spreading by modes typically described by end‐member conceptual models …
