Understanding the interactions between surface and deep Earth processes is important for research in many diverse scientific areas including climate, environment, energy …
Although many different mechanisms for subduction initiation have been proposed, only few of them are viable in terms of consistency with observations and reproducibility in numerical …
Surface processes and magmatism condition the structural evolution of continental rifts and passive margins through mechanical and thermal effects on the lithosphere rheology …
We combine numerical modeling of lithospheric extension with analysis of seismic moment release and earthquake b‐value in order to elucidate the mechanism for deep crustal …

We present the results of thermo-mechanical modelling of extension and breakup of a heterogeneous continental lithosphere, subjected to plume impingement in presence of …

Continental flood basalts intruded and erupted millions of km3 of magma over∼ 1–5 Ma. Previous work proposed the presence of large (–106 km3) crustal magma reservoirs to feed …
Fluid‐induced seismicity has been a particularly emphasized mechanism over the last few years, especially after fluid‐related, moderate‐to‐large earthquakes have been observed in …

We use gravity anomalies derived from GGMplus2013 gravity accelerations to generate a Moho undulation map of the Main Ethiopian Rift (MER) and surrounding plateau. The …
We evaluate the frictional strength of seismogenic faults in the Main Ethiopian Rift (MER) by inverting the available, well-constrained earthquake focal mechanisms. The regional stress …
