Deformation of the lithopshere during the formation of continental rifted margins

This thesis investigates lithosphere and asthenosphere deformation during intracontinental rifting leading to breakup and seafloor spreading initiation. Continental rifted margins results from the separation of a continental crust after lithosphere stretching and thinning, but their observations are...
