The ALERT-ES Project: an Earthquake Early Warning System for S. Iberia
Buforn, E.; Carranza, M.; Udías, A.; Goula, X.; Colom, Y.; Roca, A.; Zollo, A.; Lozano, L.; Pro, C.; Carrilho, F.; Hanka, W.; Madariaga, R.The main goal of the ALERT-ES project (“Sistema de Alerta Sísmica Temprana: Aplicación al Sur de España”) is to study the feasibility of an Earthquake Early Warning System (EEWS) for SW Iberian Peninsula applied to the potentially damaging earthquakes that occur in the region of Cape S. Vicente-Gulf of Cadiz. This area is characterized by the occurrence of large earthquakes with damage in SW Iberia, such as tho...
The ALERT-ES Project for earthquakes in Cape San Vicente region
Buforn, E.; Mattesini, M.; Martín Dávila, J.; Goula, X.; Colom, Y.; Zollo, Z.; Udías, A.; Pazos, A.; Roca, A.; Lozano, L.; Carrilho, F.; Hanka, W.The main goal of the ALERT-ES project ("Sistema de Alerta Sismica Temprana: Aplicacion al Sur de España" ) is to study the feasibility of an Earthquake Early Warning System (EEWS) for the potentially damaging earthquakes that occur in the zone Cape S. Vicente-Gulf of Cadiz (S. Spain). This area is characterized by the occurrence of large and damaging earthquakes such as the 1755 Lisbon (Imax=X) or 1969 S. Vicen...
The Gulf of Cádiz: thrusting or strike-slip motion?
Bezzeghoud, M.; Buforn, E.; Caldeira, B.; Pro, M.C.; Borges, J.F.; Udías, A.In the Gulf of Cádiz (SW Iberian Peninsula) the boundary between Eurasia and Nubia plates corresponds to a narrow band well defined by the seismicity, where large earthquakes (M>7.0) may be associated to N-S to NNW-SSE horizontal compression due to the convergence between the two plates. Most of these earthquakes are at shallow depth (less than 40 km), with some foci at intermediate-depth, showing E-W distribut...
The 12/02/2007 SW Cape San Vicente Earthquake: SFS (San Fernando SP) and WM (We...
Martín-Davila, J.; Pazos, A.; Buforn, E.; Udías, A.; Bezzeghoud, M.; Caldeira, B.; Rimi, A:; Harnafi, M.; Hanka, W.; Nadji, A.The western part of the Eurasia-Africa plate boundary crosses the Gulf of Cadiz at about 36oN latitude, without a well defined boundary line. The plate convergence, at a rate of a few mm/year in a NNW/SSE to NW/SE direction (Buforn et al 2004), induces a moderate magnitude and shallow depth seismicity, but a clear intermediate activity (figure 1) is also present at the area and large magnitude historical events...
