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 …

Despite the influence of other geological and geomorphological factors, chemical
weathering at the Earth's surface is strongly controlled by climate. Thus, a measure of …

The South Atlantic rift basin evolved as a branch of a large Jurassic–Cretaceous intraplate
rift zone between the African and South American plates during the final break-up of western …

We present a revised model for the opening of the South Atlantic Ocean founded on a
remap** of the continent—ocean boundaries and Aptian salt basins, the chronology of …

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 …

Abstract Continental extension between West Africa and Brazil was responsible, directly or
indirectly, for the development of the pre-salt sag basins and the evaporites of the South …

Cretaceous aged salt and salt-free basins along the continental margins of Brazil and
Angola/Namibia exhibit a rather heterogeneous geometry and basin fill which implies a …

Fluid flow features such as sandstone intrusions, mud volcano systems and pockmarks
represent well-known geological structures generated due to flow of fluids in the subsurface …

The stratigraphic, paleogeographic and tectonic evolution of the intracratonic Congo Basin
in Central Africa has been revised on the basis of an integrated interpretation of gravity …

We analyse tectonic and sedimentary field and subsurface data for the Angola onshore
margin together with free-air gravity anomaly data for the offshore margin. This enables us to …
