Imaging Lithospheric Discontinuities Beneath the Northern East African Rift Using S‐to‐P Receiver Functions

Imaging the lithosphere is key to understand mechanisms of extension as rifting progresses. Continental rifting results in a combination of mechanical stretching and thinning of the lithosphere, decompression upwelling, heating, sometimes partial melting of the asthenosphere, and potentially partial...
