Abstract The Red Sea is part of an extensive rift system that includes from south to north the
oceanic Sheba Ridge, the Gulf of Aden, the Afar region, the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aqaba, the …

The most voluminous outpourings of lava on the land surface of the Earth have built
imposing stacks of superimposed basalt flows, as much as several thousands of metres …

We present the interpretation of a new set of closely spaced marine magnetic profiles that
complements previous data in the northeastern and southwestern parts of the South China …

The crustal and tectonic structure of the Red Sea and especially the maximum northward
extent of the (ultra) slow Red Sea spreading centre has been debated—mainly due to a lack …

We here summarize the evolution of the greater Red Sea–Gulf of Aden rift system, which
includes the Gulfs of Suez and Aqaba, the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden marine basins and …

It has been suggested that in a number of places such as Greece, Turkey, the Central
Pamirs, and Thailand Neo-Tethys may have opened as a back-arc basin above a Palaeo …

Analysis of the geologic and geophysical data from the western and northern margin of the
Arabian plate combined with data from the Red Sea/Gulf of Aden leads to an interpretation …

Mechanical processes largely control the along-axis segmentation of continental rifts;
however, asthenospheric processes strongly influence the along-axis segmentation of mid …

In this paper we present nine reconstructions for the Mesozoic and Cenozoic, based on
previously published sea-floor spreading isochrons∗. The purpose of this study was 1.(1) to …

Two distinct phases of continental magmatism are evident in western Arabia. The first, from
about 30 to 20 Ma, produced tholeiitic‐to‐transitional lavas emplaced along NW trends. The …
