Thinning mechanisms of heterogeneous continental lithosphere
The mechanisms responsible for the formation of extremely thinned continental crust (< 10

Breakup volcanism and plate tectonics in the NW Atlantic
Passive margins are the locus of tectonic and magmatic processes leading to the formation
of highly variable along-strike and conjugate margins structures. Using extensive new …

Quantification and restoration of the pre‐drift extension across the NE Atlantic conjugate margins during the mid‐Permian‐early Cenozoic multi‐rifting phases
The formation of the NE Atlantic conjugate margins is the result of multiple rifting phases
spanning from the Late Paleozoic and culminating in the early Eocene when breakup was …
