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 …

The evolution and characteristics of narrow continental rifting are illustrated in this paper
through a review of recent lithospheric-scale analog models of continental extension …

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 …

Rifts feature highly in the geological history of the Earth, aswell as on the surfaces of other
solar system bodies such as Mars. On Earth, continental rifts can develop into new plate …

The volcanically active Main Ethiopian rift (MER) marks the transition from continental rifting
in the East African rift to incipient seafloor spreading in Afar. We use new seismicity data to …

The Afar depression is an ideal locale to study the role of extension and magmatism as
rifting progresses to seafloor spreading. Here we present receiver function results from new …

The initiation of the Afro-Arabian Rift System on three nearly straight segments occurred
shortly after massive amounts of basalt poured out of the triple junction of those segments in …

The Miocene‐Recent East African Rift in Ethiopia subaerially exposes the transitional stage
of rifting within a young continental flood basalt province. As such, it is an ideal study locale …

The process of strain localization as rifting proceeds to continental breakup is readily
observed along the Oligocene-Recent southern Red Sea rift, yet much of the Red Sea …

The new detector CHIMERA, in its final 4π configuration, has been installed at Laboratori
Nazionali del Sud (LNS) in Catania in January 2003. Beams of different energies ranging …
