In regions experiencing multiple phases of extension, rift‐related strain can vary along and across the basin during and between each phase, and the location of maximum extension can differ between rift phase. Despite having a general understanding of multiphase rift kinematics, it remains unclear why the rift axis migrates between extension episodes. The role pre‐existing structures play in influencing

Continental passive margins and their hinterlands in the Atlantic realm have been the locus of many Low Temperature Thermochronology (LTT) and time‐Temperature (t‐T) modelling studies that evidence pre‐, syn‐, and post‐rift episodic km‐scale exhumation and burial episodes. In this study we integrate data from over thirty published LTT and t‐T modelling studies from Morocco and its surroundings using

As a traditional method for palaeoseismic studies, trenching can be combined with dating techniques to identify palaeoseismic events and the earthquake recurrence interval. However, when using trenches to study palaeoearthquakes, factors such as the active tectonic background of the earthquake‐caused structure, the lithology on both sides of the fault, the geomorphology location and type and the samples

There remains a limited understanding of the controls of pre‐existing structures on the architecture of deep‐water progradational sequences. In the Northern Taranaki Basin (NTB), New Zealand, Pliocene post‐extensional sedimentary sequences overlie Miocene back‐arc volcaniclastic units. We utilize seismic reflection datasets to investigate the relationships between the buried back‐arc mound‐shaped structures

In a recent study, Andrews et al. (2020) describe “exhumed hydrocarbon traps” in North‐East Greenland. The basic premise for their interpretation is that dark‐coloured, pyrobitumen‐bearing sandstones represent the remnants of once buried petroleum reservoirs. We do not see the necessary field or analytical evidence to support a model that has strong implications for resource evaluations. Andrews et

The processes and deposits of deep‐water submarine channels are known to be influenced by a wide variety of controlling factors, both allocyclic and autocyclic. However, unlike their fluvial counterparts whose dynamics are well‐studied, the factors that control the long‐term behaviour of submarine channels, particularly on slopes undergoing active deformation, remain poorly understood. We combine seismic

We present a new tectonic map focused upon the extensional style accompanying the formation of the Tyrrhenian back‐arc basin. Our basin‐wide analysis synthetizes the interpretation of vintage multichannel and single‐channel seismic profiles, integrated with modern seismic images, P‐wave velocity models, and high‐resolution morpho‐bathymetric data. Four distinct evolutionary phases of the Tyrrhenian
