Receiver function studies of crustal structure, composition, and evolution beneath the Afar Depression, Ethiopia
… to characterize crustal properties beneath the Afar Depression in Ethiopia where extensional tectonics dominates. In this study, measurements of crustal thickness (H), crustal mean Vp/Vs [which is related to Poisson's ratio (Σ)], and the sharpness of the Moho (R) were determined using …

Layered crustal and mantle structure and anisotropy beneath the Afar Depression and Malawi Rift Zone
… structure of the crust and mantle beneath the Afar Depression and Malawi Rift Zone (MRZ) of the East African Rift System. Within the Afar Depression, the first densely-spaced receiver function investigation of crustal thickness and inferred velocity attenuation across the Tendaho Graben is …

A geological and geophysical study of the Tendaho Graben in the Afar Depression, Ethiopia: insights into transitional continental rifting
… Graben (the Red Sea propagator within the Afar Depression, Ethiopia) revealed features that can best be interpreted as a continental rift undergoing oceanization. This NW-trending extensional structure is ~50 km wide and it is confined within well-developed NW-trending boarder faults that …
