Journal ArticleDOI
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)
D. Van Rooij,J. Iglesias,Francisco Javier Hernandéz-Molina,Gemma Ercilla,María Gomez-Ballesteros,David Casas,Estefanía Llave,A De Hauwere,Soledad García-Gil,Juan José Tamayo Acosta,Jean-Pierre Henriet +10 more
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
M. Ballesteros,Jesús Rivera,Araceli Muñoz,Alfonso Muñoz-Martín,Juan José Tamayo Acosta,A. Carbó,Elazar Uchupi +6 more
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)
Marta Ribó,Pere Puig,Araceli Muñoz,Claudio Lo Iacono,Pere Masqué,Pere Masqué,Pere Masqué,Albert Palanques,Juan José Tamayo Acosta,Jorge Guillén,María Gómez Ballesteros +10 more
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.
