Geophysical investigation of active continental rifting in southern Kenya

Geophysical investigation of active continental rifting in southern Kenya

The history of uplift, volcanism and faulting, and past geophysical studies suggest that extension in the Kenya Rift is actively driven by an upwelling thermal anomaly. The KRISP 94 experiment included a 440 km seismic refraction profile in southern Kenya to investigate the deep structure of the rif...
