Heterogeneity and anisotropy in the lithospheric mantle
The lithospheric mantle is intrinsically heterogeneous and anisotropic. These two properties
govern the repartition of deformation, controlling intraplate strain localization and …

African cratonic lithosphere carved by mantle plumes
How cratons, the ancient cores of continents, evolved since their formation over 2.5 Ga ago
is debated. Seismic tomography can map the thick lithosphere of cratons, but its resolution is …

Tectonics and landscape of the Central African Plateau and their implications for a propagating Southwestern Rift in Africa
Abstract The Central African Plateau (CAP) covers a million square kilometers of African
lithosphere absent of recent volcanism and intense seismicity. Treating the CAP erosion …

Active deformation of Malawi rift's north basin Hinge zone modulated by reactivation of preexisting Precambrian Shear zone fabric
We integrated temporal aeromagnetic data and recent earthquake data to address the long‐
standing question on the role of preexisting Precambrian structures in modulating strain …
