Towards a 'sea‐level sensitive'dynamic model: impact of island ontogeny and glacio‐eustasy on global patterns of marine island biogeography
ABSTRACT A synthetic model is presented to enlarge the evolutionary framework of the
General Dynamic Model (GDM) and the Glacial Sensitive Model (GSM) of oceanic island …

Emergence and evolution of Santa Maria Island (Azores)—The conundrum of uplifted islands revisited
The growth and decay of ocean-island volcanoes are intrinsically linked to vertical
movements. While the causes for subsidence are better understood, uplift mechanisms …

Morpho-structural evolution of a volcanic island developed inside an active oceanic rift: S. Miguel Island (Terceira Rift, Azores)
The evolution of volcanic islands is generally marked by fast construction phases alternating
with destruction by a variety of mass-wasting processes. More specifically, volcanic islands …
