High-quality relative sea-level (RSL) data reveal spatial and temporal variations in crustal
movements during the Holocene, which are used for many applications, ranging from …

This paper presents a synthesis of the neotectonic studies performed in mainland Portugal
that address the “recent”(post Piacenzian,~ 3 Ma) tectonic evolution of the Portuguese …

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 …

The matching between linear trends of hypocentres and fault planes indicated by focal
mechanisms (FMs) is frequently used to infer the location and geometry of active faults. This …

Abstract The Vale do Forno archaeological sites (Alpiarça, central Portugal) document the
earliest human occupation in the Lower Tejo River, well established in geomorphological …

The 1755 Lisbon earthquake is still poorly understood due to its offshore location and
complex macroseismic intensity pattern. Gutenberg and Richter (1949) tentatively assigned …

Abstract The West Iberia Lithosphere and Asthenosphere Structure (WILAS) project densely
covered Portugal with broadband seismic stations for 2 yrs. Here we provide an overview of …

In probabilistic seismic‐hazard analysis (PSHA), seismic source zone (SSZ) models are
widely used to account for the contribution to the hazard from earthquakes not directly …

Portugal, located in the southwest region of the Eurasian plate, has been affected by several
destructive earthquakes throughout its history, the most well‐known being the 1755 Great …

The distribution of active faults in the Iberian Peninsula is not homogeneous, being mainly
present, but not only, in areas affected by the Alpine Orogeny. They are located in several …
