New GPS constraints on active deformation along the Africa–Iberia plate boundary
We use velocities from 65 continuous stations and 31 survey-mode GPS sites as well as
kinematic modeling to investigate present day deformation along the Africa–Iberia plate …

Testing the sensitivity of geomorphic indices in areas of low-rate active folding (eastern Betic Cordillera, Spain)
Active deformation structures have an incidence in topography that can be quantified by
using geomorphic indices. Most of these indices have been checked in faulted regions with …
