Abstract The Tell Atlas of Algeria, which experienced several destructive earthquakes in the
past, is among the most seismic active zones in the western Mediterranean. The seismicity is …

In the western Mediterranean area, after a long period (late Paleogene-Neogene) of Nubian
(W-Africa) northward subduction beneath Eurasia, subduction has almost ceased, as well as …

We present here the second release of a database, running on MS-Access platform, of the
earthquake focal mechanisms of the Mediterranean area, published in the literature. For all …

Algeria is one of the most seismically active areas in the Mediterranean basin. The available
catalogs reported numerous destructive earthquakes striking different regions, such as …

Abstract The October 27, 1985 Constantine earthquake of magnitude MS 5.9 (NEIC)
although moderate is the strongest earthquake recorded in the eastern Tellian Atlas …

Major uplifts of late Quaternary marine terraces are visible along the coastline of the Tell
Atlas of Algeria located along the Africa–Eurasia convergent plate boundary. The active …

A strong earthquake (Mw 6.8) struck the coastal region east of Algiers and the Tell Atlas of
Algeria on 21 May, 2003 and was responsible of severe damage and about 2400 casualties …

The origin of the Algerian margin remains one of the key questions still discussed in the
Western Mediterranean sea, due to the imprecise nature and kinematics of the associated …

The matching between linear trends of hypocentres and fault planes indicated by focal
mechanisms (FMs) is frequently used to infer the location and geometry of active faults. This …

A study of the present compressional deformation of the Northwestern (Maghreb) Nubia
(Africa) margin is derived from the analysis of more than 20,000 km of seismic profiles. In the …
