The continental crust is unique to the Earth in the solar system, and controversies remain
regarding its origin, accretion and reworking of continents. The plate tectonics theory has …

Classification schemes for geothermal energy sources have recently been improved to
include the concept of geothermal play. Our comprehensive review for the island of …

The central Anatolian plateau in Turkey is a region with a long history of subduction,
continental collision, accretion of continental fragments, and slab tearing and/or breakoff and …

The formation mechanisms for early Archaean continental crust are controversial.
Continental crust may have accumulated via horizontal accretion in modern-style subduction …

Geophysical models image the 3D geometry of the mafic portion of the Bushveld Complex
north of the Thabazimbi-Murchison Lineament (TML), critical for understanding the origin of …

Abstract The North Natal Valley (NNV) and the Mozambique Coastal Plain (MCP) are key
areas for the understanding of the SW Indian Ocean history since the Gondwana break‐up …

The deep mafic magmatic staging chambers of layered mafic intrusions have been
conjectured but not imaged. Their existence has long been postulated from geochemical …

The timing and mechanisms involved in creating the elevated, low‐relief topography of the
South African plateau remain unresolved. Here we constrain the thermal history of the …

The tectonic history of southern Africa includes Archean craton formation, multiple episodes
of subduction and rifting and some of the world's most significant magmatic events. These …

Southern Africa is an amalgamation of a distinct Archean core, several Proterozoic mobile
belts, and large igneous provinces, making it an ideal natural laboratory for studying …
