Stress pattern in Portugal mainland and the adjacent Atlantic region, West Iberia
- A. Ribeiro, J. Cabral, R. Baptista, L. Matias
- Geology
- 1 June 1996
The Portuguese mainland territory is located close to the Azores-Gibraltar plate boundary, in a tectonic setting responsible for significant neotectonic and seismic activities. However, few data… Expand
An example of intraplate neotectonic activity, Vilariça Basin, northeast Portugal
- J. Cabral
- Geology
- 1 April 1989
The Vilarica tectonic basin (NW Iberian Peninsula) is presented as an example of intraplate neotectonic activity. The regional geological setting is first introduced then followed by a brief view on… Expand
The Azambuja fault: An active structure located in an intraplate basin with significant seismicity (Lower Tagus Valley, Portugal)
- J. Cabral, P. Ribeiro, P. Figueiredo, N. Pimentel, A. Martins
- Geology
- 1 July 2004
The Azambuja fault is a NNE trending structure located 50 km NE of Lisbon, in an area of important historical seismicity. It is sited in the Lower Tagus Basin, a compressive foredeep basin related to… Expand
The 1755 Lisbon earthquake and the beginning of closure of the Atlantic

- 12 April 2006
The 1755 Lisbon earthquake and tsunami had one of the highest magnitudes in the history of Europe. The source mechanism requires generation at a subduction zone. Intensity distribution and tsunami… Expand
Analysis of seismic reflection data as a tool for the seismotectonic assessment of a low activity intraplate basin – the Lower Tagus Valley (Portugal)
- J. Cabral, C. Moniz, P. Ribeiro, P. Terrinha, L. Matias
- Geology
- 1 October 2003
The Lower TagusValley is located in the Lower TagusSedimentary Basin. Occurrence ofearthquakes in the area indicates thepresence of seismogenic structures at depththat are still deficiently known due… Expand
The 1909 Benavente (Portugal) earthquake: search for the source
The Lower Tagus River Valley has been affected by severe earthquakes comprising distant events, as in 1755, and local earthquakes, as in 1344, 1531, and 1909. The 1909 earthquake was located NE of… Expand
Geophysical characterization of the Ota–Vila Franca de Xira–Lisbon–Sesimbra fault zone, Portugal
- J. Carvalho, T. Rabeh, J. Cabral, F. Carrilho, J. M. Miranda
- Geology
- 1 August 2008
SUMMARY This paper focuses on the reprocessing of seismic reflection profiles, aeromagnetic and seismicity data, to locate and characterize the Ota‐Vila Franca de Xira‐Lisbon‐Sesimbra fault zone. The… Expand
Geophysical methods applied to fault characterization and earthquake potential assessment in the Lower Tagus Valley, Portugal
- J. Carvalho, J. Cabral, R. Gonçalves, L. Torres, L. Mendes-Victor

Abstract The study region is located in the Lower Tagus Valley, central Portugal, and includes a large portion of the densely populated area of Lisbon. It is characterized by a moderate seismicity… Expand
Active tectonics in Southern Portugal (SW Iberia) inferred from GPS data. Implications on the regional geodynamics
- J. Cabral, V. Mendes, +5 authors Ricardo Ressurreição
- Geology
- 1 December 2017
Abstract A GPS-based crustal velocity field for the SW Portuguese territory (Algarve region, SW Iberia) was estimated from the analysis of data from a network of campaign-style GPS stations set up in… Expand
Incorporating Descriptive Metadata into Seismic Source Zone Models for Seismic‐Hazard Assessment: A Case Study of the Azores–West Iberian Region
- S. Vilanova, E. Nemser, +15 authors J. Fonseca
- Engineering
- 1 June 2014
In probabilistic seismic-hazard analysis (PSHA), seismic source zone (SSZ) models are widely used to account for the contribution to the hazard from earth- quakes not directly correlated with… Expand
