Lateral magma flow in mafic sill complexes

We benefitted from discussions with many Earth scientists in different disciplines over the years; we particularly thank Ken Thomson, Donny Hutton, Brian O’Driscoll, Mike Petronis, Ken McDermott, Derek Keir, Ben van Wyk de Vries, and Davie Brown for their insights. We thank Schlumberger for software and data provision, and Department of Communications, Energy, and Natural Resources (Petroleum Affairs Division) in Ireland, Geoscience Australia, and PGS (Petroleum Geo-Services) for provision of seismic data. This work was completed as part of Magee’s Junior Research Fellowship funded by Imperial College London. Muirhead acknowledges support from Fulbright New Zealand and the Ministry of Science and Innovation. We thank Shan de Silva for his editorial handling of the manuscript and Tyrone Rooney, Agust Gudmundsson, and Mattia Pistone for the time and effort they put in to their constructive reviews
