• Mantle Convection Patterns Reveal the Mechanism of the Red Sea Rifting 

      Petrunin, A. G.ORCIDiD; Kaban, M. K.ORCIDiD; El Khrepy, S.ORCIDiD; Al-Arifi, N. (Tectonics, 2020)
      We present a new model of the stress state and present-day tectonics of the Red Sea Rift (RSR) based on an instantaneous geodynamic mantle flow model. The initial density and viscosity variations in the mantle are derived ...

    • Reassessing Eastern Mediterranean Tectonics and Earthquake Hazard From the 365 CE Earthquake 

      Ott, Richard F.ORCIDiD; Wegmann, Karl W.ORCIDiD; Gallen, Sean F.ORCIDiD; Pazzaglia, Frank J.ORCIDiD; Brandon, Mark T.ORCIDiD; Ueda, KosukeORCIDiD; Fassoulas, CharalamposORCIDiD (AGU Advances, 2021-05-10)
      The hallmark of great earthquakes in the Mediterranean is the 21 July 365 CE earthquake and tsunami that destroyed cities and killed thousands of people throughout the Eastern Mediterranean. This event is intriguing because ...
    • Timing and Origin of Compressional Tectonism in Mare Tranquillitatis 

      Frueh, T.ORCIDiD; Hiesinger, H.ORCIDiD; van der Bogert, C. H.ORCIDiD; Clark, J. D.; Watters, T. R.ORCIDiD; Schmedemann, N.ORCIDiD (Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2023-02-05)
      The lithosphere of the Moon has been deformed by tectonic processes for at least 4 billion years, resulting in a variety of tectonic surface features. Extensional large lunar graben formed during an early phase of net ...
