The analysis of remote sensing data to assess geohazards is being improved by web-based platforms and collaborative projects, such as the Geohazard Exploitation Platform (GEP) European Space Agency (ESA). This paper presents evaluation a surface velocity map that generated this platform. was produced through an unsupervised Multi-temporal InSAR (MTI) applying Parallel-SBAS (P-SBAS) algorithm 25 ENVISAT satellite images from South Spain were acquired between 2003 2008. carried out using...
Landslides in reservoir contexts are a well-recognised hazard that may lead to dangerous situations regarding infrastructures and people’s safety. Satellite-based radar interferometry is proving be reliable method monitor the activity of landslides such contexts. Here, we present DInSAR (Differential Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) analysis Sentinel-1 images exemplifies usefulness technique recognize Rules Reservoir (Southern Spain). The integration results with comprehensive...
Abstract The coexistence of shortening and extensional tectonic regimes is a common feature in orogenic belts. westernmost end the Western Mediterranean an area undergoing related to 5 mm/yr NNW‒SSE convergence Nubia Eurasia Plates. In this region, Central Betic Cordillera shows regional ENE‒WSW extension. Here, we present GNSS‐derived geodetic data along 170 km‐long transect orthogonal main active normal faults Cordillera. Our indicate that total extension rate 2.0 ± 0.3 mm/yr. Extension...
The Granada and Guadix-Baza Basins, the largest Neogene-Quaternary intramontane basins of Betic Cordillera (southern Spain), undergo active deformation with an associated moderate level seismic activity. This is controlled by a NNWSSE compressive regime approximate orthogonal tensional regime. compression produced N70ºE to E-W folds several scales, Sierra Nevada antiform being one. tension accommodated mainly NW-SE normal faults, most notable Baza Fault, in Basin, Granada, Elvira-Dílar...
Recent studies have proved that high elevation environments, especially remote wetlands, are exceptional ecological sensors of global change. For example, European glaciers retreated during the 20th century while Sierra Nevada National Park in southern Spain witnessed first complete disappearance modern Europe. Given effects climatic fluctuations on local ecosystems complex these sensitive alpine areas, it is crucial to identify their long-term natural trends, thresholds, and responses human...
Abstract The central Betic Cordillera, southern Spain, is affected by an uplift related to the NNW–SSE Eurasia‐Nubia convergence and shallow ENE–WSW orthogonal extension accommodated extensional system of Granada Basin. combination geophysical, geodetic, geological data reveals that southwestern boundary this a seismically active compressional front extending from W SW near‐field Global Navigation Satellite System determine NNE–SSW shortening up 2 mm/yr in Zafarraya Polje. In setting, normal...
One of the most significant parameters for seismic hazard assessment analyses is fault slip rate. The combination both geological (long-term) and geodetic (short-term) data offers a more complete characterization potential active faults. Moreover, are also helpful tool analysis geodynamic processes. In this work, we present results local GPS network from Baza sub-Basin (SE Spain). This network, which includes six sites, was established in 2008 has been observed seven years. For first time,...
Abstract The Rif Cordillera is a part of the Alpine orogenic arc in Western Mediterranean, which was developed by interaction westward motion Alboran Domain between converging Eurasian and African plates. Prerif Ridges, located along southwestern front Rif, are south-vergent folds that places associated with faults affecting Jurassic to Quaternary sedimentary rocks slope breccias evidence deformations were active over Neogene-Quaternary period. different southward or southwestward...
The most recent tectonic structures of the central-eastern Internal Zones Betic Cordillera (from 3.1ºW to 1.7ºW and south 37.525ºN) include fault folds developed from Late Miocene onwards, which are related N-S/NW-SE directed continental collision moderate thickening a crust that is relatively hot at depth.
