Regional seismicity (PDE Catalog 1973-2008)

Seismicity (29 Aug 2007 - 31 July 2008) (recorded by land stations)

Seismicity (29 Aug 2007 - 31 July 2008) within 75 km of OBS-BB network

Proposed OBS lines

Proposed

OBS lines

P1: - too long / too many deployments, total 36 (thus compromising other lines)

[10 OBS in Tagus, 6 on and S of thrust belt, 3 overlap SISMAR OBS]

- very deep water (very long recovery time) Tagus 5000m, HAP 4800m, SAP 4200m

- little new info on crustal types (except perhaps Tagus)

- 50% of line has no seismicity, and is distant from OBS-BB network

Proposed

OBS lines

P2: - shortest distance between the SW Iberian (continental) margin and the NW

Moroccan (continental margin) crossing thin crust of uncertain type

- passes along existing high quality MCS profile (pre-stack depth migrated)

- crosses Marq. Pombal and the toe of the accretionary wedge (potentially seismogenic structures)

Free-air gravity anomaly (and SISMAR seismic profiles)
