The quest for the Africa–Eurasia plate boundary west of the Strait of Gibraltar
The missing link in the plate boundary between Eurasia and Africa in the central Atlantic is
presented and discussed. A set of almost linear and sub parallel dextral strike–slip faults, the …

Slope failure dynamics and impacts from seafloor and shallow sub-seafloor geophysical data: case studies from the COSTA project
Holocene and slightly pre-Holocene submarine landslide are found both in high-latitude
glacial-dominated margins and in lower latitude, river-dominated margins. This paper …

Structure and evolution of the “Olistostrome” complex of the Gibraltar Arc in the Gulf of Cádiz (eastern Central Atlantic): evidence from two long seismic cross-sections
Reflection profiles characterize the structure and the upper Mesozoic to Cenozoic deposits
