The structural evolution of the Gulf of Aden passive margins was controlled by its oblique divergence kinematics, inherited structures, and the Afar hot spot. The rifting between Arabia and Somalia started at 35 Ma just before the hot spot paroxysm (at 30Ma) and lasted until 18Ma, when oceanic spreading started. Fieldwork suggests that rift...

We explored the submarine portions of the Enriquillo-Plantain-Garden Fault zone (EPGFZ) and the Septentrional-Oriente Fault zone (SOFZ) along the Northern Caribbean plate boundary using high-resolution multi-beam echo-sounding and shallow seismic reflection. The bathymetric data shed light on poorly documented or previously unknown submarine...
