“…Therefore, both the increase of σ H with depth and the magnitude of tectonic loading are consistent with the approach of an initial lithostatic state and rule out the uniaxial state. Jurado and Müller, 1997;Schindler et al, 1998). Consequently, the stress gradients calculated from the numerical modelling are consistent with the direct estimations in Iberia.…”

“…These values can produce permutations of the principal stresses and facilitate the coexistence of sectors under strike-slip and tension regimes in the Iberian intraplate, as deduced by active stress tensors. The σ H gradient of 30-35 MPa km − 1 is in the range of the direct measurements in the Iberian Peninsula (González de Vallejo et al, 1988;Jurado and Müller, 1997;Schindler et al, 1998).…”

“…Work on recent stresses in the Iberian Peninsula are centred both on the orientation of the stress tensor, from stress inversion methods o aultslip data and/or earthquake focal mechanism solutions ( GalindoZaldívar et al, 1993;De Vicente et al, 1996;Ribeiro et al, 1996;Herraiz et al, 2000;Stich et al, 2006;De Vicente et al, 2008 ), and on its magnitude, either by means of stress relief measurements ( González de Vallejo et al, 1988;Jurado and Müller, 1997;Schindler et al, 1998 ) or by numerical methods of stress -strain calculation Carminati et al, 1998;Andeweg et al, 1999;Cloetingh Fig. 1.…”

In the NE part of the Peninsula, along the Pyrenean domain, the Ebro Basin and the Valencia Trough, the trajectories of maximum horizontal compressional stresses are deflected into a N-S direction (De Vicente et al, 1996;Jurado and Müller, 1997;Schindler et al, 1998;Goula et al, 1999;De Vicente et al, 2006).

TOPO-EUROPE addresses the 4-D topographic evolution of the orogens and intra-plate regions of Europe through a multidisciplinary approach linking geology, geophysics, geodesy and geotechnology. TOPO-EUROPE integrates monitoring, imaging, reconstruction and modelling of the interplay between processes controlling continental topography and related natural hazards. Until now, research on neotectonics and related topography development of orogens and intra-plate regions has received little attention. TOPO-EUROPE initiates a number of novel studies on the quantification of rates of vertical motions, related tectonically controlled river evolution and land subsidence in carefully selected natural laboratories in Europe. From orogen through platform to continental margin, these natural laboratories include the Alps/Carpathians-Pannonian Basin System, the West and Central European Platform, the Apennines-Aegean-Anatolian region, the Iberian Peninsula, the Scandinavian Continental Margin, the East-European Platform, and the Caucasus-Levant area. TOPO-EUROPE integrates European research facilities and know-how essential to advance the understanding of the role of topography in Environmental Earth System Dynamics. The principal objective of the network is twofold. Namely, to integrate national research programs into a common European network and, furthermore, to integrate activities among TOPO-EUROPE institutes and participants. Key objectives are to provide an interdisciplinary forum to share knowledge and information in the field of the neotectonic and topographic evolution of Europe, to

Local stress fields and intraplate deformation of Iberia: variations in spatial and temporal interplay of regional stress sources

et al. 1999

Tertiary to present deformation in the interior of the Iberian Peninsula reflects spatial and temporal variations of the activity of the plate boundaries. Local deformation patterns observed in many of the numerous intraplate Tertiary basins and their borders, such as the Madrid Basin and the Sierra de Altomira, are at first sight incompatible with the regional stress field under which they were formed. We demonstrate, however, that they can be explained as the effect of several stress fields that acted on the Iberian Peninsula from earliest Tertiary onward. Data on local deformation can constrain both magnitudes and directions of forces acting on the plate boundaries of Iberia, enabling us to estimate the relative importance of the different plate driving and deforming mechanisms providing further constraints on the tectonic evolution of Iberia.
