We present a new kinematic and strain model of an area encompassing the Calabrian Hellenic subduction zones, western Anatolia Balkans. Using Haines Holt's (1993) method, we derive continuous velocity rate fields by interpolating geodetic velocities, including recent GPS data in Relative motion between stable Eurasia Aegean Sea is gradually accommodated distributed N‐S extension from Southern Balkans to Eastern Corinth Gulf, so that westward propagation North Anatolian Fault (NAF) throughout...

Abstract We present a new GPS velocity field covering the peri‐Adriatic tectonically active belts and entire Balkan Peninsula. From velocities, we calculate consistent strain rate interpolated fields. Significant features of crustal deformation include (1) eastward motion northern part Eastern Alps together with Alpine foreland Bohemian Massif toward Pannonian Basin, (2) shortening across Dinarides, (3) clockwise rotation Albanides‐Hellenides, (4) southward south 44°N inner lithosphere...

[1] The Owen Fracture Zone is a 800 km-long fault system that accommodates the dextral strike-slip motion between India and Arabia plates. Because of slow pelagic sedimentation rates preserve seafloor expression since Early Pliocene, clearly observed on bathymetric data. It made up series segments separated by releasing restraining bends, including major pull-apart basin at latitude 20°N. Some distal turbiditic channels from Indus deep-sea fan overlap are disturbed its activity, thus...

Abstract Multiple attenuation is an important step in seismic data processing, leading to improved imaging and interpretation. Radon‐based algorithms are commonly used for discriminating primaries multiples common depth point gathers. This process implies a large number of parameters that need be optimized satisfactory result. Moreover, approaches sometimes present challenges with similar moveouts. Deep learning, based on convolutional neural networks, has recently shown promising results...

The Alboran Sea, located in the western Mediterranean is crossed from Spain to Morocco by a significant active fault system known as Al Idrissi Fault System (AIFS). This predominantly sinistral strike-slip formed accommodate oblique convergence between African and Eurasian plates. It characterized moderate earthquakes (Mw &gt; 6) aligned along NNE-SSW-oriented segments. AIFS considered unique example of an emerging intracontinental plate boundary.Along AIFS, characteristics long-term...

In the southern margin of Alboran Sea, several submarine landslides (ranging from 0.01 to 15 km&amp;#179; in volume) are preserved within sedimentary (contouritic) cover past million years. Historical earthquake records indicate that regional seismicity is predominantly associated with strike-slip faults, which exhibit minimal or no vertical displacement, thereby limiting potential for significant tsunami generation. Consequently, emerge as primary candidates triggering area. To better...

For decades, Mesozoic tectono-halokinetic structures have been increasingly recognized in the peripheral French alpine basins. However, reconstructing full history and mechanisms of halokinesis during these regions remains challenging due to overprinting effects Cenozoic compressive tectonics, which erased much evidences earlier deformations.This severely limits our understanding interplay between diapirism, sedimentary processes basins, role pre-compressional inheritances shaping internal...

Evaporite distribution and mobility is a key parameter in the structuration of salt bearing sedimentary basins where these layers can generate halokinetic deformations. Recent revisions compressive basin models, including those external Alps, highlight significant role tectonics.

The 2004 Aceh and 2005 Nias events are the two greatest earthquakes of past 40 years with a total rupture 1700 km long coseismic slip reaching up to 25 m. These have caused large stress perturbations which significantly altered seismic activity in Sumatra‐Andaman region.
