Data and animations for manuscript by Wolf et al. (2022) published in JGR Solid Earth, entitled:"Evolution of rift architecture and fault linkage during continental rifting: Investigating the effects of tectonics and surface processes using lithosphere-scale 3D coupled numerical models"

These animations provide the data for the analyses and figures of the main manuscript. Data is available for the five main models (Model M1 - M5) and the seven supplementary models (Models SM1 - SM7). In each animation the evolution of the model output over the model duration (i.e., 25 Myr) is displayed. In the four panels of each animation, we show: strain rate on top of hillshade (top, left panel) FastScape topography and sediment thickness (top, right panel) Accumulated plastic strain (Bottom, left panel) Material colors from thermo-mechanical model (Bottom, right panel) We refer to Table 3 of the main manuscript for model parameters. The original model output is available upon request.
