The Red Sea/Gulf of Suez region is a MARGINS ancillary focus site for the Rupturing Continental Lithosphere initiative. The goals of the initiative are to develop a clearer understanding of the physics by which the continental lithosphere deforms, the manner in which strain is partitioned, either spatially or temporally, and the timing, composition, spatial distribution and melting depth of rift-related magmas.
