This paper provides insight into the provenance of the Late Miocene turbidite succession of the Tabernas Basin. Although this area has been extensively studied, only limited attention has been paid to sediment provenance.

Abstract The Tabernas–Alhabia Basin is a structural depression situated in the province of Almería, southeastern Spain. The basin is filled with Neogene, Pliocene, and Pleistocene sediments resting discordantly on a Paleozoic metamorphic basement. During the marine Tortonian sedimentation, a bed of breccia (Gordo megabed) was formed.

Abstract Cenozoic extension in the Western Mediterranean has been related to the dynamics of back‐arc domains. Although, in most of its orogenic belts extension propagated into the fore‐arc nappe domains. Here we revisit the structure, metamorphism and radiometric ages of the Tunisian Tell, where HP/LT rocks (350°C at 0.8 GPa), were exhumed by the ...

Abstract The interplay between structural and metamorphic processes operating along the deep plate interface in subduction zones remains elusive as much of the geologic record is recycled into the mantle. In some cases, metamorphosed subducted rocks are underplated and exhumed to the surface, providing critical constraints on structural processes and ...

Abstract Torrential rainfall regimes, among others, are the origin of accelerated soil erosion. The Spanish southeastern Mediterranean region is characterised by an arid climate regime affected by extreme erosion episodes with an important loss of sediments.

Seismic Observation and Location of a Meteor Burst From a Dense Station Deployment in Southern Spain
Abstract A meteor event on 11 December 2016 in southern Spain was accompanied by an audible boom and felt vibrations. Acousto‐seismic coupling of the near‐field pressure wave has been recorded by an unusually large number of 44 local seismic stations.

Abstract High‐resolution microstructural analysis of porphyroblast inclusion trails integrated with Sm‐Nd garnet geochronology has provided new insight into the tectonic history of the Betic‐Rif orogen. Three principal age groups of porphyroblasts are demonstrated with distinctly oriented inclusion‐trails.

Isotopic analysis of groundwater from Andalusian karst springs for 2H, 18O and deuterium excess showed differences between diffuse groundwater and meteoric waters isotopic composition. These differences are due to effects controlled by the great heterogeneity in the climate and relief in this territory.

Abstract Fault barriers are key structures for studying seismic hazard in regions of intense brittle deformation. The interaction between fault sets affects their seismogenic behavior, if some of them act as barriers. The Granada Basin, in the Betic Cordillera, is a region affected by shallow brittle deformation, as it was the scenario for the recent ...

Abstract The high‐pressure metamorphic Nevado‐Filábride Complex (NFC) in the Betics mountain range of southeastern Spain exhibits continental and ocean‐derived tectonic units, which are key for understanding the geodynamic evolution of the Western Mediterranean.
