Mesoarchean Basin Evolution Inland of Magmatic Arcs
Tectonic, magmatic, and depositional processes from the c. 3070 Ma Prinsep Orogeny to the end of the North Pilbara Orogeny at c. 2919 Ma were...

3D crustal-scale structure of the West Iberia margin: a novel approach to integrated structural characterization of passive margins
Hyperextended margins are very heterogeneous along the entire length of the margin, so the definition of tectonic domains made exclusively from 2D...
