BUSCADOR RECOLECTA

Two land seismic profiles across the Betic Chain imaged the deep structure of the crust belonging to two different crustal domains. To the north, one profile samples the crust of the Variscan Iberian Massif that underlies the sedimentary cover of both the Guadalquivir foreland basin and the South Iberian crustal domain. A second profile crosses the Alpine metamorphic complexes of the Betics., Comisión Interministerial de Ciencia y Tecnología - CICYT.-- Dirección General de Investigación Científica y Técnica - DGICYT.--, Peer reviewed

MARSIBAL-06 Cruise (29HE20061207) carried out on the Research Vessel Hespérides in 2006, MARSIBAL :"Integrated geological and geophysical studies in margins and sedimentary basins of southern Iberia. Architecture and sedimentary processes". A cluster of Holocene mounds was discovered during the recent MARSIBAL I-06 cruise (R/V BIO HESPÉRIDES, December 2006) east of Melilla in the southeastern margin of the Alboran Sea (Morocco margin). The area was investigated with swath bathymetry, high-resolution sub-bottom profiling and seismic reflection
