	abstract = {Recently acquired high-resolution multichannel seismic profiles together with bathymetric and sub-bottom profiler data from the external part of the Gulf of Cadiz (Iberia-Africa plate boundary) reveal active deformation involving old (Mesozoic) oceanic lithosphere. This area is located 180 km offshore the SW Iberian Peninsula and embraces the prominent NE-SW trending Coral Patch Ridge, and part of the surrounding deep Horseshoe and Seine abyssal plains. E-W trending dextral strike-slip faults showing surface deformation of flower-like structures predominate in the Horseshoe Abyssal Plain, whereas NE-SW trending compressive structures prevail in the Coral Patch Ridge and Seine Hills. Although the Coral Patch Ridge region is characterized by subdued seismic activity, the area is not free from seismic hazard. Most of the newly mapped faults correspond to active blind thrusts and strike-slip faults that are able to generate large magnitude earthquakes (Mw 7.2-8.4). This may represent a significant earthquake and tsunami hazard that has been overlooked so far. Key Points New active structures have been mapped in the Coral Patch Ridge area The newly mapped faults are able to generate large magnitude earthquakes (Mw>7) These new structures may represent a significant earthquake and tsunami hazard {\textcopyright}2013.

	abstract = {Processed multi-channel seismic (MCS) data acquired in the Tyrrhenian Sea in April-May 2010 provide images of oceanic thermohaline staircases. Using Stochastic Heterogeneity Mapping we characterize spatial reflector variations. This method is based on the band-limited von K{\'a}rm{\'a}n function. For scale sizes smaller than the correlation length, the von K{\'a}rm{\'a}n model describes a power law (fractal) process. We are most interested in the extraction of the exponent in the power law (The Hurst exponent) because it allows us to characterize the richness of scales present in the data set. Lower Hurst exponents represent a richer range of wavenumbers and therefore correspond to a broader range of heterogeneity in the observed seismic reflection events. The Hurst exponent is related to the fractal dimension and to the slope in the Garrett-Munk wavenumber spectrum. We interpret a richer range of heterogeneity as indicative of a greater degree of turbulent mixing. Data are presented alongside benchmark calibrations of synthetic seismic data generated from random fractal surfaces. We observe an oscillation in the Hurst exponent spectra as a function of frequency that is interpreted to represent a preferential coupling of energy across different spatial scales. {\textcopyright} 2013 Acoustical Society of America.},
