Ferromanganese nodules and micro-hardgrounds associated with the Cadiz Contourite Channel (NE Atlantic): Palaeoenvironmental records of fluid venting and bottom currents [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Ferromanganese nodule fields and hardgrounds have recently been discovered in the Cadiz Contourite Channel in the Gulf of Cadiz (850–1000 m). This channel is part of a large contourite depositional system generated by the Mediterranean Outflow Water ...

Characterizing an Incipient Fault System: Insights From the Morphometric Analysis of the North‐South Faults (Alboran Sea)

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 44, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Investigating the dynamic evolution of active fault systems is fundamental for deciphering regional tectonics and assessing seismic risk, particularly in offshore regions where direct observation is challenging. Our ultra‐high‐resolution bathymetric study of the North‐South Faults (NSF) documents an incipient and dynamically evolving left ...

Kinematic Evolution of the Cephalonia‐Lefkada Transform Fault Zone: Strain Partitioning in Response to Subduction Margin Dynamics

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 44, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract The eastern Adriatic margin is composed by an Ocean‐Continent Transition lithosphere (OCT), resulting in the southwards along‐strike variation from collision to subduction. The Cephalonia‐Lefkada Transform Fault zone (CTF) is a right‐lateral strike‐slip fault system located above the OCT and associated to this kinematic transition.

A Paleotectonic Atlas of the African Plate: Permian to Recent

open access: yesJournal of Petroleum Geology, Volume 48, Issue 4, Page 231-279, October 2025.
ABSTRACT The fragmentary release of petroleum data defining the deep structure and stratigraphy of African basins has been integrated with existing literature to compile 19 tectonic maps over key geological intervals from Permian to Recent times. African plate margins range in their age of opening from Late Triassic (off Lebanon), through Early/Middle ...

Ground Motion Simulations of the SW Iberia Margin: Rupture Directivity and Earth Structure Effects. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
In this study, we focus on the region between Gorringe Bank and the Horseshoe Fault located in the SW Iberia margin, which is believed to be the site of the great 1755 earthquake.

Taxonomy and palaeoecology of the Mesozoic family Duotaxidae Mikhalevich (Foraminifera)

open access: yesPapers in Palaeontology, Volume 11, Issue 5, September/October 2025.
Abstract This paper addresses the long‐standing taxonomic issue of the supra‐species classification of Mesozoic taxa with an agglutinated wall originally included in the genus Tetrataxis, the type species of which, Tetrataxis conica, ranges into the Palaeozoic and has a different wall texture.

Intraspecific Variation in Dorsal Colour Patterns of Amphibolurus muricatus Lizards From the Perspective of Relevant Observers

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
This study examined dorsal pattern variations across the geographic range of an Australian lizard using multispectral photography and visual models for lizards and avian predators. Findings reveal differences in dorsal colouration based on sex, body size, genetic clades and habitat type.

The importance of fault control on the geomorphological development of a deep karst system: the case of Sima GESM, a Z-supercave in southern Spain

open access: yesDiscover Geoscience
The mountainous karst massif in the Sierra de las Nieves (southern Spain) and the adjacent large outcrops of subcontinental mantle peridotites provide this area with a distinctive geodiversity that has contributed to the recent declaration of the zone as

Anatomy and tectonic significance of WNW-ESE and NE-SW lineaments at a transpressive plate boundary (Nubia-Iberia) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Recent mapping of the Gulf of Cadiz seafloor permitted to identify major tectonic lineaments: the SWIM lineaments (Zitellini et al., 2009) and Cadiz lineament, striking WNW-ESE and NE-SW, respectively.

Site evaluation for laser satellite-tracking stations [PDF]

open access: yes
Twenty-six locations for potential laser satellite-tracking stations, four of them actually already occupied in this role, are reviewed in terms of their known local and regional geology and geophysics.
