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 …

Extension and associated tectonic exhumation have been described across a diverse
spectrum of geodynamic environments, ranging from lithospheric-scale extension along …

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 …

We trace compositional changes of Nile sediments for 7400 km, from their sources in
equatorial rift highlands of Burundi and Rwanda to their sink in the Mediterranean Sea. All …

One of the best places to investigate the role of a mantle plume in creating topography at the
onset of continental breakup is the Ethiopian volcanic province since it is the youngest and …

Detrital modes of modern Nile sands, together with estimates of sediment volumes trapped
in Sudanese reservoirs, allow us to calculate sediment loads of major tributaries (Blue Nile …

This richly illustrated book offers a concise overview of the geology of Egypt in the context of
the geology of the Arab Region and Northeast Africa. An introductory chapter on history of …

Abstract The Afar Depression is a unique place on Earth where active rift processes can be
directly observed. It is believed to be close to continental breakup. The Afar hotspot has a …

Abstract The Red Sea displays lithosphere that is in transition from rifting to drifting and
therefore provides enormous opportunity to understand incipient seafloor spreading …

Numerical time‐temperature models derived from a 2‐D network of apatite and zircon (U‐
Th)/He ages reveal a three‐stage thermotectonic history for the central Arabian rift flank …
