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 …

Reflection profiles characterize the structure and the upper Mesozoic to Cenozoic deposits
of the Gulf of Cádiz region. Two long ENE–WSW multichannel seismic lines (ca. 400–500 …

We present a two‐dimensional lithospheric thermal and density model along a transect
running from the southwestern Iberian Peninsula to the northwestern Sahara. The main goal …

At present, the SW Iberian margin is located along the convergent Iberia-Nubia plate
boundary. In Mesozoic times, the margin was located at the triple junction of the Ligurian …

The Gulf of Cadiz, located at the southwestern Iberian margin, is characterized by
widespread seismicity, compressional and strike‐slip fault plane solutions and by a large …

The Gulf of Cadiz, off SW Iberia and the NW Moroccan margin, straddles the cryptic plate
boundary between Africa and Eurasia, a region where the orogenic Alpine compressive …

Abstract Southwest Portugal, the Gulf of Cadiz and Morocco are under the potential threat of
natural hazards linked to seismicity and tsunami generation. We report the results of two …

We investigate the crustal structure of the SW Iberian margin along a 340km-long refraction
and wide-angle reflection seismic profile crossing from the central Gulf of Cadiz to the …

Earthquakes and tsunamis along Morocco's coasts have been reported since historical
times. The threat posed by tsunamis must be included in coastal risk studies. This study …

The SW continental margin of Iberia is affected by several tectonic structures of Cenozoic to
Recent age, gen-erated by the dynamics of the Iberia-Africa plate margin. This activity is …
