Seismic imaging and thermal modeling of active continental rifting processes in the Salton Trough, Southern California
Continental rifting ultimately creates a deep accommodation space for sediment. When a major river flows into a late-stage rift, thick deltaic sediment can change the thermal regime and alter the mechanisms of extension and continental breakup. The Salton Trough, the northernmost rift segment of …

Heterogeneous Strain Distribution & the Effects of High Frequency Climate Change on the Evolution of Early-Stage Rift Systems: Case Studies from Lakes Tanganyika and Malawi (Nyasa), East Africa
… While extensional faulting drives continental rifting, changes in the relief of the landscape, erosion of different lithologies, and the location of sedimentation within continental rifts, rapid changes in climate, including temperature, precipitation, and vegetation cover, affect rates of …
