The crustal domains of the Alboran Basin (western Mediterranean)

L Gómez de la Peña, CR Ranero, E Gràcia - Tectonics, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract The Alboran Basin in the westernmost Mediterranean hosts the orogenic boundary
between the Iberian and African plates. Although numerous geophysical studies of crustal …

The lithospheric structure of the Gibraltar Arc System from wide‐angle seismic data

L Gómez de la Peña, I Grevemeyer… - Journal of …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
In continental settings, seismic failure is generally restricted to crustal depth. Crustal
structure is therefore an important proxy to evaluate seismic hazard of continental fault …

The synthetic seismic expression of the Messinian salinity crisis from onshore records: Implications for shallow‐to deep‐water correlations

M Roveri, R Gennari, M Ligi, S Lugli, V Manzi… - Basin …, 2019 - earthdoc.org
The onshore–offshore correlation of sedimentary successions is a common problem in basin
