Lithospheric folding is an important mode of basin formation in compressional intraplate
settings. Basins formed by lithospheric folding are characterized by distinct features in …

This review provides a synthesis of the evolution of the Pyrenees since~ 84 Ma and is
uniquely focused on analysing jointly and comparatively its peripheral pro-foreland, retro …

Slab retreat, slab tearing and interactions of slabs are first-order drivers of the deformation of
the overriding lithosphere. An independent description of the tectonic evolution of the back …

The Portuguese mainland, located in western Iberia, represents a key area for
understanding the evolution of the European Atlantic margin during the Cenozoic and the …

We present and discuss a set of 77 moment tensor solutions for earthquakes in the Iberia–
Maghreb region from mid 2005 to the end of 2008, with moment magnitudes ranging from …

The Iberian microcontinent stands out because of its intense Alpine intraplate deformation.
This is reflected in a large number of Cenozoic basins of very different sizes. Most of the …

In the interior of the Iberian Peninsula, the main geomorphic features, mountain ranges and
basins, seems to be arranged in several directions whose origin can be related to the N–S …

Mainland Portugal, on the southwestern edge of the European continent, is located directly
north of the boundary between the Eurasian and Nubian plates. It lies in a region of slow …

On May 11th 2011, a rather small earthquake caused nine fatalities in the city of Lorca, SE‐
Spain. We analyze seismograms from a dense network to characterize the source of this …

Abstract The Maghreb region (from Tunisia to Gibraltar) is a key area in the western
Mediterranean to study the active tectonics and stress pattern across the Africa‐Eurasia …
