Traditionally active rifts are thought to evolve in response to thermal upwelling of the
asthenosphere, whereas passive rifts develop in response to lithospheric extension driven …

In this study we compare three pairs of conjugate rifted margins that are often referred to as
archetypes of rift systems. Despite numerous differences, a remarkable first-order structural …

Abstract The North Atlantic, extending from the Charlie Gibbs Fracture Zone to the north
Norway-Greenland-Svalbard margins, is regarded as both a classic case of structural …

The stunningly increased resolution of the deep crustal levels in recent industrial seismic
profiles acquired along most of the world's rifted margins leads to the unraveling of an …

Breakup and sea-floor spreading between Greenland and Eurasia established a series of
new plate boundaries in the North Atlantic region since the Late Palaeocene. A conventional …

The thorough interpretation of the South Atlantic long offset seismic lines provides a new
view of the magmatic and crustal architecture and of the evolution of the conjugate volcanic …

The conjunction of high-quality seismic surveys, deep sea drilling, and progress in
numerical modelling has changed the way of thinking about how continents rift and oceans …

Seismic reflection and refraction profiles, and potential field data, complemented by crustal‐
scale gravity modeling and plate reconstructions are used to study the evolution of the …

The breakup of Laurasia to form the Northeast Atlantic Realm disintegrated an
inhomogeneous collage of cratons sutured by cross-cutting orogens. Volcanic rifted margins …

The Møre and Vøring basins of the mid-Norwegian volcanic passive margin are
characterized by thick accumulations of Cretaceous to Paleocene sedimentary strata. They …
