Beschreibungen

<P>This book contains the results of a 9 year (1995-2004) investigation of the Canary Islands Exclusive Economic Zone, using state of the art technology. The main result areas are:</P>
<UL>
<LI>A multibeam survey demonstrating the magnitude of catastrophic failures of the Canary Islands</LI>
<LI>A comparison of the morphology of the Canary Islands with Hawaii</LI>
<LI>The significance of hydrothermal activity in the Canary Channel associated with Mesozoic salt diapirs</LI>
<LI>An analysis of the morphology and structure of the offshore extension of the Anaga massif in Tenerife island</LI>
<LI>A detailed description of the archipelago gravity field and magnetic field of the Canary Islands</LI></UL>
<P>All in all the wealth of new data and ideas presented in this collection of papers has rarely been equaled in an investigation of an oceanic island group.</P>
Geologic evolution of the Canarian Islands of Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria and La Gomera and comparison of landslides at these islands with those at Tenerife, La Palma and El Hierro.- Salt Diapirs, Salt Brine Seeps, Pockmarks and Surficial Sediment Creep and Slides in the Canary Channel off NW Africa.- Comparison of volcanic rifts on La Palma and El Hierro, Canary Islands and the Island of Hawaii.- Morphological and structural analysis in the Anaga offshore massif, Canary Islands: fractures and debris avalanches relationships.- Gravity analysis offshore the Canary Islands from a systematic survey.- A magnetic anomaly study offshore the Canary Archipelago.- Paleoearthquake evidence in Tenerife (Canary Islands) and possible seismotectonic sources.- Age and composition of the Amanay Seamount, Canary Islands.
<P>Juan Acosta is the main researcher for the project of which the results are presented in this book.</P>
