Accurate reconstructions of the dispersal of supercontinent blocks are essential for testing
continental breakup models. Here, we provide a new plate tectonic reconstruction of the …

Abstract The Cenozoic East African Rift System (EARS) extends from the Red Sea to
Mozambique. Here we use seismic reflection and bathymetric data to investigate the tectonic …

A detailed morpho-bathymetric study of the Comoros archipelago, based on mostly
unpublished bathymetric data, provides a first glimpse into the submarine section of these …

Modes of mantle delamination in collision zones are discussed in the light of 2D numerical
modeling. Freely evolving thermomechanical models take into account phase changes in …

Abstract The Zambezi Delta draining the Southern African Plateau and the southern part of
the East African Rift is one of a the largest delta of Africa with a long-lasting history starting …

Abstract Northern Malawi's Nyika Plateau is a 3,700 km2 large, highly elevated (∼ 2,500 m)
plateau located at the western margin of the Miocene‐Recent Malawi rift and the confluence …

The Evate deposit represents the largest resource of apatite in south-east Africa (155 Mt. ore
grading 9.3 wt.% P 2 O 5) accumulated in up to 100 m thick magnetite-carbonate-apatite …

We interpret two-dimensional seismic reflection data from the Rovuma Delta basin deep-
water fold-and-thrust belts. Two major arcuate complexes with different architecture and …

Abstract The Moatize-Minjova Basin is a Karoo-aged rift basin located in the Tete Province
of central Mozambique along the present-day Zambezi River valley. In this basin the …

Plate tectonic reconstructions assume a major inactive transform fault, the Davie Fracture
Zone, in the West Somali Basin, along which Madagascar is thought to have migrated …
