A common deep source for upper-mantle upwellings below the Ibero-western Maghreb region from teleseismic P-wave travel-time tomography
Upper-mantle upwellings are often invoked as the cause of Cenozoic volcanism in the Ibero-
western Maghreb region. However, their nature, geometry and origin are unclear. This study …
