Study of different sectors of the Mediterranean margins of Andalusia to analyze the potential existing active tectonic structures, capable of generating geological risks either due to the generation of earthquakes, or secondarily due to the triggering of landslides and / or tsunamis.
Bathymetry and seismic work on the coast of the island of Menorca (Baleares Islands)
Salt deformation and sub-salt fluid circulation in the Algero-Balearic abyssal plain(SALTFLU): 1) To identify the three dimensional structure of the salt deformation structures of the Algero-Balearic abyssal plain;2) to collect evidence of fluid migration, accumulation and extrusion at the seafloor; 3) to constrain the link between the observed overburden fluid circulation and deep (sub-salt) origins; 4) to link the fluid circulation pattern to the recent basin evolution with special regard to the tectonic stress propagation derived from convergence between the Africa and European plates.
The ZEE-2001-EZA campaign was part of the program "OCEANOGRAPHIC HYDROGRAPHIC STUDY OF THE EXCLUSIVE SPANISH ECONOMIC ZONE" (PIHOZE), approved by the Council of Ministers, dated April 22, 1993, and carried out by the Hydrographic Institute of the Navy (IHM) and the Spanish Institute of Oceanography (IEO). The ZEE-2001-EZA campaign aimed to carry out the necessary work to obtain the hydrographic-oceanographic knowledge of the eastern part of the Canarian Archipelago, mainly the areas adjacent to the Islands of Fuerteventura and Lanzarote and complete the work carried out during the campaigns Zee-98, Zee-99 and Zee-00, carried out aboard the B.I.O.
