A Geodynamic Investigation of Continental Rifting and Mantle Rheology: Madagascar and East African Rift case studies

Continental rifting is an important geodynamic process during which the Earth's outer-most rigid shell undergoes continuous stretching resulting in continental break-up and theformation of new oceanic basins. The East African Rift System, which has two continentalsegments comprising largely of...
