New paper on rift linkage in Afar in GRL agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20… Carolina Pagli Alessandro La Rosa

Our latest work in @nature proposing a new theory to explain the origin & association of great escarpments and enigmatic plateaus in continental interiors. In collaboration with Sascha Brune, Derek Keir, @AliceGeology et al. University of Southampton OceanEarthUniSoton rdcu.be/dQg69


Humbling to read such favourable commentary on our latest @nature paper in today's Science Magazine, written by the remarkably talented Hannah Richter: Waves rippling under continents could explain mysterious plateaus around the world | Science | AAAS science.org/content/articl…
