TL;DR: In this paper, a marine seismic survey that images an active accretionary wedge west of Gibraltar is reported, indicating ongoing westward-vergent tectonic shortening, and provides compelling evidence for an active east-dipping subduction zone.

TL;DR: In this article, the spatial aftershocks distribution of the 26th December 2004 earthquake shows that the post-seismic motion is partitioned along two thrust faults, the Lower and Median Thrust Faults, the latter being right-laterally offset by a N-S lower plate fracture zone located along the 93.6° N meridian.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented results from the combined interpretation of the reflection seismic, wide-angle seismic and gravity data along a 440 km-long profile perpendicular to the margin at 33 −34 n, extending from nearly normal oceanic crust in the vicinity of Coral Patch seamount to the coast at El Jadida and approximately 130 km inland.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison of declinations measured with paleodeclinations calculated in Portugal from the Eurasian and African poles of similar age indicates that the main phase of relative rotation of Iberia with respect to Europe occurs during the first stage of relative motion (i.e. Hauterivian to Aptian).

TL;DR: In this article, multibeam bathymetric data acquired during 2005 and 2006, in the region of maximum slip of the 26 Dec. 2004 earthquake (Mw 9.2), were used to provide highresolution images of seafloor morphology of the entire NW Sumatra forearc from the Sunda trench to the submarine volcanic arc just north of Sumatra.
