An investigation of the northwestern margin of the Arabian peninsula (Midyan region) provides new insights into the two-stage development of the Red Sea graben system: the …
The Dead Sea Basin (DSB), located along the African‐Arabian plate boundary, constitutes a good example of a pull‐apart basin because of its large dimensions, its structural simplicity …

Structural cross sections in extensional terranes can be improved significantly by restoration and balancing principles originally developed for fold-and-thrust belts. In rift basins and …
Half‐graben basins bounded by border faults typify early‐stage continental rifts. Deciphering the role that intra‐rift faults play in rift basin development is challenging as patterns of early …

This study proposed a new reconstruction of the tectono-sedimentary evolution of the Lake Albert Rift based on a biostratigraphical, sedimentological and structural re-evaluation of the …
We distinguish three major detachment systems and intervening accommodation zones in the central Gregory Rift of east Africa and point out that the geometry seen here is similar to …
