A continental rift is a nascent plate boundary where the lithosphere is thinned by tectonic
activity. Some continental rifts undergo extension to the point that they generate a new …

Observations in sedimentary basins affected by deformation show that the fault-induced
depositional accommodation, at various spatial and temporal scales, is closely linked to …

Abstract The Yangtze Block exemplifies the gradual formation of cratons since the Archean,
and its pre-Neoproterozoic basement constitution needs to be clarified by a study of the …

The Laramide foreland belt comprises a broad region of thick-skinned, contractional
deformation characterized by an anastomosing network of basement-cored arches and …

Large parts of central Europe experienced exhumation in Late Cretaceous to Paleogene
time. Previous studies mainly focused on thrusted basement uplifts to unravel the …

Abstract Eastern North America was constructed over several Wilson cycles, culminating in
the breakup of Pangea. Previous seismological imaging lacked the resolution to depict …

The impact of past tectonic events on the formation and modification of continental
lithosphere remains as an open question of fundamental importance. Eastern North America …

Abstract The Chitradurga Schist Belt in the Western Dharwar Craton provides a unique
opportunity to investigate regional-scale tectonic processes not only in the Dharwar Craton …

Seismic wave speed is controlled by a number of factors, including temperature and
chemical composition, as well as the presence of volatiles and partial melt. Tomography …

Abstract The Midcontinent Rift (MCR), hosting several world-class ore deposits, is the fossil
remnant of a massive Mesoproterozoic rifting event (1.1 Ga) that did not lead to the formation …
