Shallow tectonics on the middle continental slope of the northeastern Gulf of Cadiz continental margin (SW Iberia)

The northeastern sector of the Gulf of Cadiz continental margin has been deeply studied the last two decades. The seafloor is characterized by the Gulf of Cadiz Contourite Depositional System, strong diapirism and seepage related to the mobility of the frontal units of the Gibraltar Arc. Since 2010...
