Coastal evolution on volcanic oceanic islands: A complex interplay between volcanism, erosion, sedimentation, sea-level change and biogenic production
The growth and decay of oceanic hotspot volcanoes are intrinsically related to a competition
between volcanic construction and erosive destruction, and coastlines are at the forefront of …

Weathering pulses during glacial-interglacial transitions: insights from well-dated paleosols in the Azores volcanic province (Central North Atlantic)
Volcanic islands evolve through complex interactions between volcano growth and surface
processes. Climate changes impact the physical and chemical processes that drive …

Is the 'Azores hotspot'a wetspot? Insights from the geochemistry of fluid and melt inclusions in olivine of Pico basalts
The concept of an 'Azores mantle plume'has been widely debated, and the existence of an
Azores hotspot questioned. In an effort to shed new light on this controversy, we present He …

GPS and tectonic evidence for a diffuse plate boundary at the Azores Triple Junction
We use GPS, bathymetric/structural, and seismic data to define the pattern of present
deformation along the northern half of the Azores plateau, where the Nubia–Eurasia plate …

Volcano-tectonic evolution of the Santa Maria Island (Azores): Implications for paleostress evolution at the western Eurasia–Nubia plate boundary
The growth and decay of oceanic volcanoes developed close to plate boundaries are
intrinsically related to a competition between construction and destruction processes, partly …

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 …
