Abstract

The continental margin of Galicia presents a very complex structure, due to two main effects. On the one hand, it's a magma-poor rift margin, generated in the vicinity of the triple R-R-R junction, which resulted in the simultaneous opening of the Atlantic Ocean and the Bay of Biscay during the Cretaceous. On the other hand, the Cenozoic compressive stress regime led to the partial inversion of the continental margin to the north and northwest, providing a greater structural complexity. In this work we have carried out a detailed analysis of new gravity and bathymety data acquired during the ZEE Project cruises, as well as new 2D multichannel seismic reflection profiles from the ERGAP Project. We present here some the results of this joint analysis of all the geophysical and geological information available, consisting of a continuous mapping of the different lithospheric domains and of the style of deformation which affect them, from the western margin of the Iberian Peninsula to the northern one.
