Propagation and arrest of dikes under topography: Models applied to the 2014 Bardarbunga (Iceland) rifting event

Abstract Dikes along rift zones propagate laterally downslope for tens of kilometers, often becoming arrested before topographic reliefs. We use analogue and numerical models to test the conditions controlling the lateral propagation and arrest of dikes, exploring the presence of a slope in connecti...
