The geodynamic setting of the Azores archipelago, straddling the triple junction between the
North America, Eurasia and Nubia plates, is reflected in frequent volcanic and tectonic …

The growth and decay of ocean-island volcanoes are intrinsically linked to vertical
movements. While the causes for subsidence are better understood, uplift mechanisms …

Since the settlement of the archipelago, in the fifteenth century, 31 destructive earthquakes
and 28 volcanic eruptions have been registered in the Azores. Major earthquakes occurring …

The Azores archipelago is located at the triple junction between the Eurasia, Nubia and
North America lithospheric plates. São Miguel Island, situated at the southeastern part of the …

Abstract The submarine Azores Plateau in the Central Northern Atlantic has generally been
considered to represent a large igneous plateau formed some 10 Ma by widespread …

Sediment waves are common on the submarine flanks of volcanic islands, but the processes
that form them are difficult to decipher from geophysical data alone. Here, we identify …

Fogo is the largest of the three active central volcanoes on São Miguel and dominates the
centre of the island. It is located at the intersection of NW–SE, NE–SW and east–west …

Accurate geophysical imaging of shallow subsurface features provides crucial constraints on
understanding the dynamics of volcanic systems. At Furnas Volcano (Azores), intense …

São Miguel Island comprises five active volcanic systems, including three central volcanoes
with calderas and two basaltic fissure systems. Volcanic eruptions in São Miguel are of …

Summary The Azores Archipelago is located near the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) and
consists of nine islands, resting on both sides of the ridge. Various methods including …
