Journal ArticleDOI
Seismic stratigraphy and structure of the Caribbean igneous province
Alain Mauffret,Sylvie Leroy +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, multichannel seismic reflection profiles reveal the tectonic and stratigraphic complexity of the Caribbean province and show other seismic evidence of volcanism (sills and dipping horizons).
Journal ArticleDOI
Dual continental rift systems generated by plume-lithosphere interaction
Alexander Koptev,Alexander Koptev,Eric Calais,Eric Calais,Evgenii Burov,Evgenii Burov,Sylvie Leroy,Sylvie Leroy,Taras Gerya +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, numerical simulations show that magmatic and amagmatic rifts can develop in the same tectonic setting, if a rising mantle plume is deflected to one side of the continent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arabia-Somalia plate kinematics, evolution of the Aden-Owen-Carlsberg triple junction, and opening of the Gulf of Aden
Marc Fournier,Marc Fournier,Marc Fournier,Nicolas Chamot-Rooke,Carole Petit,Carole Petit,Philippe Huchon,Philippe Huchon,Ali Al-Kathiri,Laurence Audin,Marie-Odile Beslier,Elia d'Acremont,Elia d'Acremont,Olivier Fabbri,Jean-Marc Fleury,Khaled Khanbari,Claude Lepvrier,Claude Lepvrier,Sylvie Leroy,Sylvie Leroy,Bertrand Maillot,Serguei Merkouriev +21 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reconstruct the history of opening of the Gulf of Aden, including the penetration of the Sheba Ridge into the African continent and the evolution of the triple junction since its formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
An alternative interpretation of the Cayman trough evolution from a reidentification of magnetic anomalies
TL;DR: In this paper, an early Eocene age for Cayman trough opening is proposed instead of the late Oligocene or middle Eocene ages suggested by previous studies, which fits the on-land geology and the tectonics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diverse styles of submarine venting on the ultraslow spreading Mid-Cayman Rise
Chris German,Andrew D. Bowen,Max Coleman,D. L. Honig,Julie A. Huber,Michael V. Jakuba,James C. Kinsey,Mark D. Kurz,Sylvie Leroy,J. M. McDermott,B. Mercier de Lépinay,K. Nakamura,Jeffrey S. Seewald,J. Smith,Sean P. Sylva,C. L. Van Dover,Louis L. Whitcomb,Dana R. Yoerger +17 more
TL;DR: Evidence is reported for previously unknown, diverse, and very deep hydrothermal vents along the ∼110 km long, ultraslow spreading Mid-Cayman Rise (MCR) that offer prospects for an expanded range of vent-fluid compositions, varieties of abiotic organic chemical synthesis and extremophile microorganisms, and unparalleled faunal biodiversity—all in close proximity.
