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 …

Marine transform faults and associated fracture zones (MTFFZs) cover vast stretches of the
ocean floor, where they play a key role in plate tectonics, accommodating the lateral …

We focus on the southern North Atlantic rifted margins to investigate the partitioning and
propagation of deformation in hyperextended rift systems using plate kinematic modeling …

Convective circulation of the mantle causes deflections of the Earth's surface that vary as a
function of space and time. Accurate measurements of this dynamic topography are …

Mainland Portugal, on the southwestern edge of the European continent, is located directly
north of the boundary between the Eurasian and Nubian plates. It lies in a region of slow …

Three crustal-scale sequentially restored cross-sections along the Central External Betic
Cordillera enable us to pinpoint the role of extreme crustal thinning, tectonic inheritance and …

The complex tectonic interaction processes between the European and African plates at the
Western Mediterranean have left marked imprints in the crustal architecture of this area …

The SW Iberian continental margin is well recognized as a tectonically active area, where
major canyons and mass wasting events are both present. Earthquake triggered submarine …

Abstract The Gulf of Cadiz seismicity is characterized by persistent low to intermediate
magnitude earthquakes, occasionally punctuated by high magnitude events such as the M …

Based on more than 4,500 km of new and re-processed multichannel seismic lines, high-
resolution seafloor bathymetry, available well data, and basement dredge samples, we have …
