Analysis of the seismogenic and tsunamigenic structure of the Alboran Basin (westernmost Mediterranean)

We present the results of our analysis of the seismogenic and tsunamigenic structure of the Alboran Basin (westernmost Mediterranean). In particular, we upload two different types of files: 1) the 3D model of a fault plane and 2) the results of the numerical tsunami simulations for the 4 main faults in the area, the Alboran Ridge Fault System (ARFS), the Carboneras Fault System (CFS), the Yusuf Fault System (YFS) and the Al-Idrissi Fault System (AIFS). In order to perform a first approach to the tsunamigenic potential of these active structures, different models have been run with different input parameters (see metadata description). The fault plane has been obtained based on the analysis of active seismic data collected in the area, and the tsunami simulations have been obtained using the HySEA code. For details about the method, and the discussion of the different parameters used in the models, please see the related article "A first appraisal of the seismogenic and tsunamigenic potential of the largest fault systems of the westernmost Mediterranean" (Gómez de la Peña et al., Marine Geology, 2022).
