Summary The Western Mediterranean displays a complex pattern of crustal deformation
distributed along tectonically active belts developed in the framework of slow oblique plate …

Among the various university courses I took for my geoscience degree, volcanology and
structural geology motivated me by far the most. Volcanoes and deformed rocks are indeed …

This paper presents a general overview of the geology and geophysics of western Iberia,
and in particular of the western Portuguese Margin. The links between the onshore and …

The existing studies of the Azores triple junction, although based on specific geological or
geophysical data, largely rely upon morphological considerations. However, there is no …

Although the African Plate's northeastward absolute motion slowed abruptly 30 million years
ago, the South Atlantic's spreading velocity has remained roughly constant over the past 80 …

A recent survey of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge over the southern edge of the Azores Platform
shows that two anomalously shallow regions located off-axis on both sides of the ridge are …

Multiple‐and single‐beam bathymetric data are compiled over the Azores plateau to
produce a 1 km× 1 km grid between latitudes 32° N and 49° N and longitudes 22° W and …

Carbon dioxide (CO2) diffuse degassing structures (DDS) at Furnas volcano (São Miguel
Island, Azores) are mostly associated with the main fumarolic fields, evidence that CO2 soil …

The growth and decay of ocean-island volcanoes are intrinsically linked to vertical
movements. While the causes for subsidence are better understood, uplift mechanisms …

Furnas is the easternmost of the three active central volcanoes on the island of São Miguel
in the Azores. Unlike the other two central volcanoes, Sete Cidades and Fogo, Furnas does …
