Steady rifting in northern Kenya inferred from deformed Holocene lake shorelines of the Suguta and Turkana basins.
(University of Nairobi, 2012-05-15)
A comparison of deformation rates in active rifts over different temporal scales may help to decipher variations in their structural evolution, controlling mechanisms, and evolution of sedimentary environments through time. ...
