The Main Ethiopian Rift is a key sector of the East African Rift System that connects the Afar
depression, at Red Sea–Gulf of Aden junction, with the Turkana depression and Kenya Rift …

Abstract The Afar Depression is a unique place on Earth where active rift processes can be
directly observed. It is believed to be close to continental breakup. The Afar hotspot has a …

Abstract Kabi-Gebro locality of Gundomeskel area is located within the Abay Basin at Dera
District of North Shewa Zone in the Central highland of Ethiopia and it is about 320Km from …

The impact of a pre‐existing rift fabric on normal fault array evolution during a subsequent
phase of lithospheric extension is investigated using 2‐D and 3‐D seismic reflection, and …

We present the results of velocity modelling of a recently acquired wide-angle seismic
reflection/refraction profile across the Main Ethiopian Rift. The models show a continental …

Abstract The Ethiopia Afar Geoscientific Lithospheric Experiment (EAGLE) was undertaken
to provide a snapshot of lithospheric break-up above a mantle upwelling at the transition …

In the Main Ethiopian Rift (East Africa) a complex tectonic history preceded Tertiary rifting
creating pre-existing discontinuities that influenced extension-related deformation …

Landslide hazard is one of the crucial environmental constraints for the development of
Ethiopia, representing a limiting factor for urbanization and infrastructures. The high relief …

Continental breakup between Greenland and North America produced the small oceanic
basins of the Labrador Sea and Baffin Bay, which are connected via the Davis Strait, a …

Abstract The Lake Malawi (Nyasa) Rift, in the East African Rift System (EARS), is an ideal
modern analogue for the study of extensional tectonic systems in low strain rate settings …
