Evolution of volcanic rifted margins: origin of seaward dipping reflectors with insights from flexure and 'process-oriented’ gravity modelling by Morgan, RL

“…Results from a case study interpreting a set of seismic reflection surveys from the Orange Basin, offshore Namibia show good general agreement between observed Airy isostatic anomalies and calculated gravity anomalies with T_e in the range 1-3km. The steep gradient that is often observed in the Airy isostatic gravity anomaly at rifted margins is therefore a useful proxy for the seaward edge of the dykes that intrude the crust prior to seafloor spreading.…”
