How new subduction zones form is an emerging field of scientific research with important
implications for our understanding of lithospheric strength, the driving force of plate …

To address the question of the initiation and mechanisms involved in the process of
subduction zone formation, we explored most of the available evidence for the subduction …

The Society makes every effort to ensure that the scientific and production quality of its

Abstract The Bay of Biscay and the Pyrenees correspond to a Lower Cretaceous rift system
including both oceanic and hyperextended rift domains. The transition from preserved …

This paper provides a synthesis of current data and interpretations on the crustal structure of
the Pyrenean-Cantabrian orogenic belt, and presents new tectonic models for …

Seismic interpretation of the MARCONI deep seismic survey enables recognition of the
upper crustal structure of the eastern part of the Bay of Biscay and the main features of its …

Cretaceous rocks crop out extensively in the three main Alpine orogenic belts of Spain: the
Betic Cordillera, the Pyrenees and the Iberian Ranges. These rocks, deformed during …

The North Iberian or Cantabrian margin, located at the southern flank of the Bay of Biscay,
