An exceptional sedimentary record of initial rifting on the East African Plateau in the Miocene: Lessons from depositional cyclicity and palaeoenvironmental proxies

Abstract Knowledge about the initial tectonic and depositional dynamics, as well as the influence of early rifting on climate and environmental evolution remains speculative to a large extent, because sediments are usually deeply buried. Within the East African Rift System, inversion tectonics uplif...
