The coexistence of shortening and extensional tectonic regimes is a common feature in
orogenic belts. The westernmost end of the Western Mediterranean is an area undergoing …

Abstract The Granada Basin is a slowly deforming intramountain basin in the Betic
Cordillera (S-Spain). Despite historical and paleoseismological evidence for M6 …

Fault barriers are key structures for studying seismic hazard in regions of intense brittle
deformation. The interaction between fault sets affects their seismogenic behavior, if some of …

Understanding active tectonics and seismicity in extensional settings requires the analysis of
high‐angle normal faults (HANFs) and the transfer of deformation at depth. The debate …

This paper discusses recent archaeological fieldwork conducted at El Castillejo, a medieval
Islamic settlement in Los Guájares, Granada, southern Spain. Results from combined …

Abstract The central Betic Cordillera, southern Spain, is affected by an uplift related to the
NNW–SSE Eurasia‐Nubia convergence and shallow ENE–WSW orthogonal extension …

One of the most significant parameters for seismic hazard assessment analyses is the fault
slip rate. The combination of both geological (long-term) and geodetic (short-term) data …

Geochemical changes and authigenic clays were detected in the fault rocks of the Padul
Fault. An enrichment from the protolith to the ultracataclasites in Si, Al, Fe, Ca, Ti and also Zn …

Abstract The Alboran Basin is a Neogene-Quaternary extensional basin located within the
Betic-Rif alpine cordillera. The region where the current basin is located holds great …

The Betic Cordillera was formed by the collision between the Alboran Domain and the South
Iberian paleomargin in the frame of the NW–SE convergent Eurasia–Nubia plate boundary …
