The Kenya rift revisited: insights into lithospheric strength through data-driven 3-D gravity and thermal modelling

We present three-dimensional (3-D) models that describe the present-day thermal and rheological state of the lithosphere of the greater Kenya rift region aiming at a better understanding of the rift evolution, with a particular focus on plume–lithosphere interactions. The key methodology applied is...
