Early kinematic history of the Goban Spur rifted margin derived from a new model of continental breakup and sea floor spreading initiation

Deformation of continental lithosphere leading to breakup and the initiation of seafloor spreading can be described in terms of an upwelling divergent flow field within the continental lithosphere and asthenosphere. A new model (SfMargin) of rifted continental margin formation using this upwellin...
