High-resolution imaging of active structures offshore on the Southwest Iberian Margin: implications for paleoseismic studies

Abstract

1 pageThe Southwest Iberian Margin is affected by large earthquakes in Western Europe as it hosts the boundary beween Eurasian and African plates. We identified several active faults which are potential sources of large magnitude earthquakes and tsunamis (Mw > 6). We have acquiered giant piston cores and TOBY mosaics, which allow us to investigate on the past activity of the faults, which has implications for seismic hazard assessment on the southwest Iberian MarginPeer reviewe
