Compressional intracontinental orogens are major zones of crustal thickening produced at
large distances from active plate boundaries. Consequently, any account of their initiation …

To date, research on neotectonics and related continental topography development has
mostly focused on active plate boundaries characterized by generally high deformation …

The Iberian Peninsula and the Maghreb experience moderate earthquake activity and
oblique,∼ NW–SE convergence between Africa and Eurasia at a rate of∼ 5 mm/yr. Coeval …

A new model, partially based on the three most widely cited previous hypotheses, is
proposed to explain the genesis of the Canary Islands. From the hotspot hypothesis it retains …

We applied time domain moment tensor inversion of local and regional waveforms to small
and moderate (Mw= 3.5–5.7) shallow earthquakes from the Iberian Peninsula, northern …

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 …

Integration of stress indicator data, gravity data, crustal kinematics data, and analysis of
topography and recent vertical motions demonstrates the occurrence of consistently oriented …

The Tejo river is one of the major drainages in Iberian Peninsula; it is a long-lived system
(ca. 3.4 Ma) and provides an archive of long-term landscape development and …

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 …
