Title of dataset | Faults in the central Alboran Sea |
Narrative summary of dataset | Faults related to the tectonic indentation along the Eurasian-African plate boundary in the central Alboran Sea |
Summary of processing methodology | The bathymetry of the central Alboran Sea, compiled with different sources including multibeam cruises (Ercilla et al., 2016-Marine Geology, 378, 157-170), presents an accurate resolution revealing the main morphological features of the sea bottom.. A database of seismic profiles with standard processing, served to map the main tectonic features. They practically cover the whole region, albeit with variable resolution. In addition, parametric sub-bottom profiles indicate the uppermost structural and sedimentary features. |
Project/programme | Recent and active Deformation across the central sector of the Betic-Rif Cordilleras and the Alboran Sea: Geohazard factors (DAMAGE) & Geohazard factors associated with the heads of submarine canyons on the Mediterranean continental margins of southern Iberia (FAUCES) |
