Water plays a critical role in erosion and sediment transport and this relationship is most
evident in the hyperarid Atacama Desert of Northern Chile, a region characterized by …

At plate boundaries, where deformation is localized along centimetre-to kilometre-scale
shear zones, the influence of serpentinite on tectonic processes is linked to its unique …

Rifted margins are the result of the successful process of thinning and breakup of the
continental lithosphere leading to the formation of new oceanic lithosphere. Observations on …

Abstract The Bay of Biscay and the Pyrenees correspond to a Lower Cretaceous rift system
including both oceanic and hyperextended rift domains. The transition from preserved …

Rifted margins are formed by persistent stretching of continental lithosphere until breakup is
achieved. It is well known that strain-rate-dependent processes control rift evolution,, yet …

Estimating shortening in collision belts is critical to reconstruct past plate motions. Balanced
cross‐section techniques are efficient in external domains but lack resolution in the …

We focus on the southern North Atlantic rifted margins to investigate the partitioning and
propagation of deformation in hyperextended rift systems using plate kinematic modeling …

Abstract The South China Sea margins represent a critical natural laboratory to study the
processes and parameters controlling the rift-to-drift transition. High quality seismic data …

A long-standing question in Earth Sciences is related to the importance of inheritance in
controlling tectonic processes. In contrast to physical processes that are generally …

本文以海洋地质调查和油气勘探开发中积累的地质和地球物理资料的解释和分析为基础,
描述和划分了南海北部被动陆缘地壳岩石圈结构构造单元, 由陆向海划分出近端带, 细颈化带 …
