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 We present the Malawi Active Fault Database (MAFD), an open‐access (https://doi.
org/10.5281/zenodo. 5507190) geospatial database of 113 fault traces in Malawi and …

The criteria for zoning the surface fault rupture hazard (SFRH) along thrust faults are defined
by analysing the characteristics of the areas of coseismic surface faulting in thrust …

Over the past two decades, the airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) system has
become a useful tool for acquiring high-resolution topographic data, especially in active …

We present new insights on the geometry, initiation and growth of the Thyolo fault, an 85 km
long active border fault in the southern Malawi Rift, from high-resolution topography, field …

The distribution of deformation during the early stages of continental rifting is an important
constraint on our understanding of continental breakup. Incipient rifting in East Africa has …

Malawi is located within the southern branch of the active East African Rift System, where
earthquakes of moment magnitude (M w) 7.0 or greater can occur along major faults. The …

Historical and instrumental earthquake catalogs in low strain rate regions are not
necessarily indicative of the long-term spatio-temporal distribution of seismicity. This implies …

Advanced technologies such as light detection and ranging (LiDAR) and unmanned aerial
vehicles (UAVs) have revolutionized the detection of subtle surface deformation and the …

Abstract The Bilila‐Mtakataka Fault (BMF), at the southern end of the western branch of the
East African Rift System (EARS), has been used in various scaling relation studies and …
