Shallow slides and pockmark swarms in the Eivissa Channel, western Mediterranean Sea

TL;DR: In this paper, four slides, the Ana, Joan, Nuna and Jersi slides, were imaged on the seafloor along the Balearic margin of the Eivissa Channel in the western Mediterranean and their headwall scarps, internal architecture and associated deposits were characterized using a combination of swath bathymetry data and very high-resolution seismic reflection profiles.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Le Danois Contourite Depositional System: Interactions between the Mediterranean Outflow Water and the upper Cantabrian slope (North Iberian margin)

TL;DR: The Le Danois Contourite Depositional System (CDS) as mentioned in this paper is unique with respect to the known sedimentary systems along the upper slope of the Biscay margin and has a strong potential to contain a record of the Neogene palaeoceanography.
Journal ArticleDOI

Geologic evolution of the Canarian Islands of Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria and La Gomera and comparison of landslides at these islands with those at Tenerife, La Palma and El Hierro

TL;DR: In this paper, the results of a swath bathymetric investigation of the Canary archipelago offshore area were discussed and it was shown that volcanism is pervasive throughout the seafloor in the region, much more that would be suggested by the islands.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alboran basin, Southern Spain. Part II: Neogene tectonic implications for the orogenic float model

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors infer that the Alboran Basin, the first western Mediterranean Basin found after crossing Gibraltar, is an orogenic float underlained by a de´ collement system, a multi-layered ductile shear extending from 10km to between 30 and 40km below sea level.
Journal ArticleDOI

Morphobathymetric analysis of the large fine-grained sediment waves over the Gulf of Valencia continental slope (NW Mediterranean)

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed analysis of recently acquired swath bathymetry, together with high-resolution seismic profiles and bottom sediment samples, revealed the presence of large-scale fine-grained sediment waves over the Gulf of Valencia continental slope.
