BUSCADOR RECOLECTA

IBERSEIS is a 303 km long deep seismic reflection profile. The transect was recorded in 56 days (from May to July 2001) using a 400 channel SERCEL 388 and five 22 Ton Vibroseis trucks. The asymmetric split spread configuration changed along the profile according to the dips of outcropping structures. To achieve a high resolution at shallow levels and to image steep dips, a 35 m station spacing and a 70 m Vibration Point interval was used with a high fold (60 in average). A relatively long sweep (20 s) was chosen to increase the source energy rather than increasing the number of sweeps per Vibration Point.

This seismic profile samples three major tectonic terranes: the South Portuguese Zone, the Ossa-Morena Zone, and the Central Iberian Zone. These terranes show a distinctive seismic signature, as do the sutures separating them. Late strike-slip movements through crustal wedges are apparent in the seismic image and have strongly modified the geometry of sutures. The upper crust appears to be decoupled from the lower crust all along the seismic line, but some deformation has been accommodated at deeper levels. A sill-like structure is imaged in the middle crust as a 1–2 s thick and 175 km long high-amplitude conspicuous reflective band. It is interpreted as a great intrusion of mafic magma in a mid-crustal decollement. Taking into account surface geological data and the revealed crustal architecture, a tectonic evolution is proposed for SW Iberia which includes transpressional collision interacting during Early Carboniferous with a mantle plume. The Moho can be identified along the entire transect as subhorizontal and located at 10 to 11 s, indicating a 30–35 km average crustal thickness. Its seismic signature changes laterally, being very reflective beneath the South Portuguese Zone and the Central Iberian Zone, but discontinuous and diffuse below the Ossa Morena Zone., Comisión Interministerial de Ciencia y Tecnología-Fondo Europeo de Desarrollo Regional (CICYT-FEDER), 1FD1997-2179/RYEN1.-- Junta de Andalucía.-- ENRESA.-- Swedish Research Council.-- Instituto Geológico y Minero de España.-- Spanish Ministry of Science and Technology, BTE2000-0583-C02-01, BTE2000-3035-E, BTE2000-1490-C02-01, Peer reviewed

DESEAS Cruise (29GD20010606) carried out on the Research Vessel García del Cid in 2001, The object of the DESEAS Project, funded by the EU, was to gather preliminary data on the abundance and maximum depth distribution of the rose shrimp Aristeus antennatus in the Mediterranean SeaThree deep-sea areas in the Mediterranean Sea were sampled using a bottom otter trawl during the DESEAS oceanographic survey carried out from early June to early July 2001, covering an area in the western Mediterranean from 600 to 2800 in in depth and two areas in the central Mediterranean, the western and eastern Ionian Sea from 600 to 4000 m in depth.The sampling was conducted with the otter trawl Maireta System (OTMS) using the R/V García del Cid (38 m long; 1500 HP). The OTMS (vertical opening 1.8-2 m; wing spread 14 m) was trawled by a single warp and operated with a pair of rectangular iron otter boards (1.20 x 2.0 m; 450 kg). A detailed description of the net can be found in Sardà et al. (1998). The initial and final tow time were measured using a SCANMAR sonar system down to 1500 m, and the same parameters were assumed below 1500 m. The vessel speed and geographic position were measured using differential GPS. The trawling was carried out during daylight hours.Temperature and salinity profiles were obtained at each haul using a CTD
