Fault-related Soil Efflux of Mantle-derived CO2 in the Magadi and Natron Basins, East African Rift
(University of Nairobi, 2014)
The Magadi (Kenya) and Natron (Tanzania) basins of the East African Rift are in an early stage (< 7 Ma) of continental rifting. The many normal faults observed in these areas create sediment-filled basins and a large number ...
Gas geochemistry of volcanic and geothermal areas in the Kenya Rift: implications for the role of fluids in continental Rifting
(University of Nairobi, 2013-12-26)
The East African Rift (EAR) is an active continental rift and ideal to investigate the processes of rift initiation and the breaking apart of continental lithosphere. Mantle and crust-derived fluids may play a pivotal role ...
Fault-controlled fluid migration during early-stage continental rifting in the Magadi Basin, Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2014)
The mechanisms controlling the migration of mantle-derived, CO2-rich fluids in early-stage continental rifts are poorly constrained, yet have important implications for processes occurring during the initiation of continental ...
Contribution of transverse structures, magma, and crustal fluids to continental rift evolution: the East African rift in southern Kenya
(2013-12-13)
The Magadi rift in southern Kenya formed at ~7 Ma within Proterozoic rocks of the Mozambique orogenic belt, parallel to its contact with the Archean Tanzania craton. The rift is bounded to the west by the ~1600-m-high ...
