Passive margins are geomorphological features that have historically attracted much attention from the modeling community. In particular, many numerical modeling studies have …
This cutting-edge summary combines ideas from several sub-disciplines including geology, geomorphology, oceanography and geochemistry to provide an integrated view of Earth …
It is a common assumption that elevated passive continental margins have remained high since rifting and breakup. Here, we show that the Atlantic margin of NE Brazil has …

The terrigeneous sediment budget of passive margin basins records variations in continental relief triggered by either deformation or climate. Consequently, it becomes a …
Atlantic‐type continental margins have long been considered “passive” tectonic settings throughout the entire postrift phase. Recent studies question the long‐term stability of these …

We present new sedimentary flux data confirming that a large pulse of erosion affected the Southern African Plateau in the Late Cretaceous and is likely to be related to a major uplift …
Production, transport, and deposition of siliciclastic sediments takes place across changing altitudes, physical processes, environments, and controls en route from source to sink …
Abstract The Cretaceous and Cenozoic fill of the continental margins of southern Africa (South‐East Atlantic and Agulhas Margins) contains a continuous record of sediment …
