Statement

Seismic data were used to interpret the locations of rift faults and seismic stratigraphic horizons (see also Nixon et al., 2016), using Petrel seismic interpretation software. The ages of key stratigraphic horizons were derived from borehole cores collected during IODP Expedition 381. A number of dating methods were used on core samples (biostratigraphy, magnetostratigraphy, tephrastratigraphy, correlation of alternating marine and isolated stratigraphic units with Quaternary sea level fluctutations). Borehole data were used to calibrate velocity data to convert time to depth in the seismic data and hence calculate fault offsets. Horizon ages (from borehole data) were used to calculate throw, slip and extension rates for the major faults. Fault locations, coordinates and geometries were exported into ArcGIS/QGIS. Shape files and rate data were extracted for the faults.
