Hazard potential of volcanic flank collapses raised by new megatsunami evidence
Ricardo S. Ramalho,Ricardo S. Ramalho,Gisela Winckler,José Madeira,George Helffrich,George Helffrich,Ana Hipólito,Rui Quartau,Rui Quartau,K. Adena,Joerg M. Schaefer +10 more
TL;DR: It is shown that one of the most prominent oceanic volcanoes on Earth—Fogo, in the Cape Verde Islands—catastrophically collapsed and triggered a megatsunami with devastating effects ~73,000 years ago and it is demonstrated that flank collapses may indeed catastrophically happen and are capable of triggering tsunamis of enormous height and energy, adding to their hazard potential.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emergence and evolution of Santa Maria Island (Azores)—The conundrum of uplifted islands revisited
Ricardo S. Ramalho,Ricardo S. Ramalho,George Helffrich,José Madeira,Michael A. Cosca,Christine Thomas,Rui Quartau,Ana Hipólito,Alessio Rovere,Paul J. Hearty,Sérgio P. Ávila,Sérgio P. Ávila +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reconstruct the evolutionary history of Santa Maria with respect to the timing and magnitude of its vertical movements, using detailed field work and 40Ar/39Ar geochronology.
Journal ArticleDOI
The morphology of insular shelves as a key for understanding the geological evolution of volcanic islands: Insights from Terceira Island (Azores)
Rui Quartau,Rui Quartau,Ana Hipólito,Claudia Romagnoli,Daniele Casalbore,José Madeira,Fernando Tempera,Cristina Roque,Cristina Roque,Francesco Latino Chiocci +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used bathymetry and high-resolution seismic reflection profiles to characterize the morphology of the insular shelves adjacent to each volcanic edifice of Terceira Island in order to improve the understanding of its evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chapter 3 Active tectonics in the central and eastern Azores islands along the Eurasia–Nubia boundary: a review
TL;DR: The geodynamic setting of the Azores archipelago, straddling the triple junction between the North America, Eurasia and Nubia plates, is reflected in frequent volcanic and tectonic activity as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Volcanic, tectonic and mass-wasting processes offshore Terceira Island (Azores) revealed by high-resolution seafloor mapping
Daniele Casalbore,Claudia Romagnoli,Adriano Pimentel,Rui Quartau,Rui Quartau,David Casas,Gemma Ercilla,Ana Hipólito,Andrea Sposato,Francesco Latino Chiocci +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used bathymetric and seismic reflection data to analyze the main volcanic, tectonic and mass-wasting features of Terceira offshore.
