Reconstructing chemical variations of magma during rifting is challenging due to the heterogeneous mantle sources of the melt and different evolution pathways that magma potentially takes. Therefore, ...

IntroductionDike intrusions can assist continental rifting and plate divergence. However, our understanding of the magma dynamics during diking and the archi...

Abstract. The formation of continental rift systems is characterised by the interplay of magmatic and tectonic processes. Their evolution involves a wide range of timescales, from centennial scales of...

Rapid and localised changes in plate thinning caused by rifting is the primary control on the spatio-temporal distribution of volcanism in the Afar rift, according to argon dating of volcanic rocks fr...

Born at the feet of active volcanoes, a group of young Earth scientists works for connecting colleagues in Italy and around the globe. One of the main challenges faced by those approaching the academi...
