Remote sensing studies and morphotectonic investigations in an arid rift setting, Baja California, Mexico

The Gulf of California and its surrounding land areas provide a classic example of recently rifted continental lithosphere. The recent tectonic history of eastern Baja California has been dominated by oblique rifting that began at ~12 Ma. Thus, extensional tectonics, bedrock lithology, long-term cli...
