In the context of rift basin formation, structural inheritance describes the influence of pre-
existing structures on new rift-related structures, including faults. Pre-existing structures in …

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 …

Continental magmatic arcs commonly have heterogeneous and anisotropic metamorphic
basement foundations hosting their plutonic roots and associated geothermal systems …

Abstract Rift‐Rift‐Rift triple junctions are key features of emergent plate boundary networks
during fragmentation of a continent. A key example of such a setting is the Afar triple junction …

The oldest structures in a rift basin define incipient rift architecture, and commonly modulate
the patterns of landscape evolution, sedimentation, and associated hazards in subsequent …

The development of structurally controlled basins is frequently dominated by inherited
geological and tectonic structures, especially when the affected region has undergone …

Continental rifts normally initiate within previously deformed lithosphere and thus their
evolution and architecture can be largely controlled by inherited weak zones in the pre-rift …

The origin of the Exmouth and Dampier Sub-basins in the inner rift system of the North West
Shelf, Australia, remain poorly understood, despite intensive industrial exploration for more …

Abstract The Calabrian Arc subduction-rollback system hosts seismogenic faults capable of
generating earthquakes exceeding magnitude 7. Since earthquakes are the result of long …

The upper Awash runs across a volcano-sedimentary succession dated from the Early to
Middle Pleistocene and located on the western margin of the northern portion of the Main …
