Tectonic and magmatic processes during extension in planetary lithospheres : rifting, spreading, delamination, and recycling on Earth and Venus
… diversity. A key aspect of planetary tectonic systems is how the lithosphere responds to driving forces such as the upwelling or downwelling of material in the mantle, especially for extensional systems. On Earth, the processes underpinning continental break-up are poorly understood despite …

Tectonic evolution of the Thakkahola Graben and Dhaulagiri Himalaya, Central Nepal
Three extensional fault systems intersect in the central Nepal Himalaya: the South Tibetan fault system (STFS); the Thakkhola graben; and structures bounding the Upper Mustang Massif (UMM). Interactions between these systems are investigated using integrated field studies, remote sensing analyses, …

Tectonic Setting, Structure, and Seismic Stratigraphy of the Apalachicola Rift and its Overlying Sag Basin in the Northeastern Gulf of Mexico
The northeast-trending Apalachicola rift (AR) in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico (GOM) is a ~220-km- long half-graben that contains 5-8 km of undrilled, syn-rift clastic deposits inferred to be of late Triassic-early Jurassic age. Previous workers have interpreted pre-salt (Triassic-early …
