Coastal evolution on volcanic oceanic islands: A complex interplay between volcanism, erosion, sedimentation, sea-level change and biogenic production
The growth and decay of oceanic hotspot volcanoes are intrinsically related to a competition
between volcanic construction and erosive destruction, and coastlines are at the forefront of …

Emergence and evolution of Santa Maria Island (Azores)—The conundrum of uplifted islands revisited
The growth and decay of ocean-island volcanoes are intrinsically linked to vertical
movements. While the causes for subsidence are better understood, uplift mechanisms …

GPS and tectonic evidence for a diffuse plate boundary at the Azores Triple Junction
We use GPS, bathymetric/structural, and seismic data to define the pattern of present
deformation along the northern half of the Azores plateau, where the Nubia–Eurasia plate …

The morphology of insular shelves as a key for understanding the geological evolution of volcanic islands: Insights from Terceira Island (Azores)
Shelves from volcanic ocean islands result from the competition between two main
processes, wave erosion that forms and enlarges them and volcanic progradation that …
