Heterogeneous Strain Distribution in the Malawi (Nyasa) Rift, East Africa: Implications for Rifting in Magma‐Poor, Multi‐Segment Rift Systems
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 …

Under-displaced normal faults: Strain accommodation along an early-stage rift-bounding fault in the Southern Malawi Rift
One of the fundamental problems in continental rift segmentation and propagation is how
strain is accommodated along large rift-bounding faults (border faults) since the …

Stretching, shaking, inflating: volcanic-tectonic interactions at a rifting silicic caldera
Silicic caldera volcanoes are frequently situated in regions of tectonic extension, such as
continental rifts, and are subject to periods of unrest and/or eruption that can be triggered by …

Fault-based probabilistic seismic hazard analysis in regions with low strain rates and a thick seismogenic layer: a case study from Malawi
Historical and instrumental earthquake catalogs in low strain rate regions are not
necessarily indicative of the long-term spatio-temporal distribution of seismicity. This implies …

[HTML][HTML] Evolution of rift faulting in incipient, magma-poor divergent plate boundaries: New insights from the Okavango-Makgadikgadi Rift Zone, Botswana
Continental rifts are thought to transition from a power-law fault length distribution during the
juvenile stages of extension, to an exponential distribution during break-up and oceanic …
