DOI: 10.1016/j.precamres.2020.105688

Abstract: Abstract Uncertainty exists in the configuration and extent of the Midcontinent Rift System (MRS) because of deficiencies in geophysical data and limited information from outcrops and basement drill holes. Additional ambiguity is caused by misunderstanding… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2020tc006298

Abstract: The Shanxi Rift System (SRS) is a prominent intracontinental rift in eastern Eurasia. However, its tectonic origin remains enigmatic, as the timing of rift initiation and its subsequent evolution is not well constrained. To evaluate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s40623-024-02133-1

Abstract: The Kenyan rift system is prone to deformation due to various geological processes and human activities, such as overexploitation of groundwater and exploitation of geothermal energy. Crustal deformation monitoring is essential for understanding the geodynamics… read more here.
