In this study we compare three pairs of conjugate rifted margins that are often referred to as
archetypes of rift systems. Despite numerous differences, a remarkable first-order structural …

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 …

The rifting of continents involves faulting (tectonism) and magmatism, which reflect the strain-
rate and temperature dependent processes of solid–state deformation and decompression …

Direct observation and extensive sampling in ancient margins exposed in the Alps,
combined with drill-hole and geophysical data from the present-day Iberia margin, result in …

In classical rift models, deformation is either uniformly distributed leading to symmetric fault
bounded basins overlying stretched ductile lower crust (eg pure shear McKenzie model) or …

Crustal rheology controls the style of rifting and ultimately the architecture of rifted margins.
Here we review the formation of three magma-poor margin pairs, Iberia-Newfoundland, the …

Many recent papers describe the structure of the Iberia and Newfoundland rifted margins;
however, none of them propose kinematic restorations of the complete rift system to quantify …

Crustal structure across the passive continental margin of the northeastern South China Sea
(SCS) is presented based on a deep seismic survey cooperated between Taiwan and China …

The ophiolites from the Alpine Tethys are incompatible with the definition of the classical 3-
layered Penrose ophiolite sequence, but they also show features that are inconsistent with …

We present a crust and mantle velocity structure for the West Iberia passive continental
margin derived from a 320‐km‐long wide‐angle seismic profile acquired in the southern …
