Origin and significance of olistostromes in the evolution of orogenic belts: A global synthesis
Olistostromes (sedimentary mélanges) represent the products of ancient submarine mass
transport processes. We present a comparative analysis of the occurrences and internal …

The Gibraltar subduction: A decade of new geophysical data
The Gibraltar arc, spans a complex portion of the Africa–Eurasia plate boundary marked by
slow oblique convergence and intermediate and deep focus seismicity. The seemingly …

Evidence for active subduction beneath Gibraltar
We report on a marine seismic survey that images an active accretionary wedge west of
Gibraltar. Ramp thrusts offset the seafloor and sole out to an east-dip** décollement …

Morphometry of mass-transport deposits as a predictive tool
Mass-transport deposits (MTDs) are gravity-induced units that represent an important
component of modern and ancient deep-water stratigraphic successions. MTDs have been …

Vast fields of hydrocarbon-derived carbonate chimneys related to the accretionary wedge/olistostrome of the Gulf of Cádiz
We report the first discovery and sampling of vast fields of hydrocarbon-derived carbonate
chimneys along the Gulf of Cádiz continental slope, at depths between 500 and 1200 m. A …

The giant Ruatoria debris avalanche on the northern Hikurangi margin, New Zealand: Result of oblique seamount subduction
Despite convergent margins being unstable systems, most reports of huge submarine slope
failure have come from oceanic volcanoes and passive margins. Swath bathymetry and …

Structure and evolution of the “Olistostrome” complex of the Gibraltar Arc in the Gulf of Cádiz (eastern Central Atlantic): evidence from two long seismic cross-sections
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 …
