Coastal armouring affects intertidal biodiversity across the Alboran Sea (Western Mediterranean Sea)

Marine Environmental Research, 2021
Intertidal ecosystems are key habitats that are being replaced by artificial hard substrates due to the increment of human activities in coastal areas. These new substrates host generally less biodiversity mainly due to differences in complexity and composition.

Dimethylmercury formation in the Alboran Sea

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 1994
Abstract The distribution of dissolved gaseous dimethylmercury (DMHg) was studied in three vertical profiles in the waters of the Alboran Sea and the adjacent Strait of Gibraltar. The shape of these profiles suggests a sub-thermocline source of this species in the low oxygen region of the Alboran Sea.

Flysch-type Sedimentation in the Alboran Sea, Western Mediterranean

Nature, 1970
The Quaternary deposits of the Alboran Sea and associated sediment dispersal patterns, and geographic and tectonic setting of the region, are closely similar to those of some ancient flysch basins preserved in the geological record.

Tectonic evolution of the Alboran Sea basin

Basin Research, 1993
AbstractThe Alboran Sea is an extensional basin of Neogene age that is surrounded by highly arcuate thrust belts. Multichannel seismic (MCS) reflection profile data suggest the basin has a complex tectonic fabric that includes extensional, compressional and strike‐slip structures.

Biogeographical and Macroecological Context of the Alboran Sea

2021
A complex geological history, a critical geographical location, and the existence of permeable biogeographical barriers at both ends of its longitudinal range, the Strait of Gibraltar and the hydrographic front between Almeria and Oran, have shaped the Alboran Sea as a biogeographical entity at the crossroads between the Atlantic Ocean and the ...

The Ceuta Drift, Alboran Sea, southwestern Mediterranean

Geological Society, London, Memoirs, 2002
Abstract The Ceuta Drift is an elongated-terrace feature (up to 100 km long, 28 km wide, 400 m relief, and 700 ms thick) located in the southwestern Alboran Sea, close to the Gibraltar Strait. It extends between 200 and 700 m water depth, parallel to the Moroccan slope.

Sea surface temperature variability in Alboran sea from satellite data

International Journal of Remote Sensing, 1998
In this paper, the evolution of thermal structures in the Alboran Sea with the help of NOAA images is analysed. A temporal and spatial Empirical Orthogonal Function (EOF) analysis (principal components analysis) has been performed using 12 monthly maximum images calculated from 48 daily AVHRR images taken with a weekly periodicity along the year 1993 ...

New and rare sponges from the deep shelf of the Alboran Island (Alboran Sea, Western Mediterranean)

Zootaxa, 2014
The sponge fauna from the deep shelf (70 to 200 m) of the Alboran Island (Alboran Sea, Western Mediterranean) was investigated using a combination of ROV surveys and collecting devices in the frame of the EC LIFE+ INDEMARES Grant aimed to designate marine areas of the Nature 2000 Network within Spanish territorial waters.

Identification of T-Waves in the Alboran Sea

Pure and Applied Geophysics, 2015
Analyses of seismograms from ~1,100 north-Moroccan earthquakes recorded at stations of the Red Sismica de Andalucia (Southern Spain) reveal the systematic presence of late phases embedded in the earthquake codas. These phases have distinctive frequency contents, similar to the P and S spectra and quite different to the frequency contents of the ...

A Model for the Alboran Sea Internal Solitary Waves

Journal of Physical Oceanography, 1989
Abstract The propagation into the Alboran Sea of the interface depression generated at the Strait of Gibraltar by the interaction of the semidiurnal tidal current with the main (Camarinal) sill is studied numerically by using a unidirectional model with two horizontal space dimensions. An initial waveform within the strait is determined whose evolution
