Abstract |
An integrated geological and geophysical study on the present-day structure and evolution of the Gibraltar Arc System (GAS) is proposed. The region encompasses the Alboran and Algero-Balear basins, the Betic-Rif orogen, and the Gibraltar accretionary wedge. The primary objective is to have a better understanding of the interactions and dynamics of deep processes that affect the Earth's lithosphere and crust, and external processes that are responsible for Earth's exterior morphology and geological environment. The objectives and expected results are directed to: regional geology and geophysical mapping; hydrocarbon exploration; and geologic risk related to slope instabilities and seismicity
