Thermomechanical implications of sediment transport for the architecture and evolution of continental rifts and margins

M Andrés‐Martínez, M Pérez‐Gussinyé, J Armitage… - …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Erosion and deposition redistribute mass as a continental rift evolves, which modifies crustal
loads and influences subsequent deformation. Surface processes therefore impact both the …
