Abstract: Abstract We present new constraints on the opening of the South Atlantic Ocean from a joint interpretation of marine magnetic anomaly grids and forward modelling of conjugate profiles. We use 45,000 km of recently collected… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Seismic, outcrop and well data from West Iberia and Newfoundland are used to investigate sediment stacking patterns during continental breakup as a function of tectonic subsidence. In West Iberia, two breakup sequences are revealed… read more here.

Abstract: The causes of continental breakup are still poorly understood. More and more it becomes evident that classical concepts of deep-mantle versus intra-plate forces controlling continental breakup and shaping the subsequent evolution of the bordering passive… read more here.
