“…The tsunami hazard in the Gulf of Cadiz region, which is an important component of a TWS, is well established through the elaboration of the historical tsunami catalogs Kaabouben et al, 2009;Blanc, 2009), the definition of the tsunamigenic scenarios (Omira et al, 2009), the identification of tsunami deposits (Ruiz et al, 2005;Font et al, 2010;Medina et al, 2011;Costa et al, 2011), and the estimations of the waves' impact Lima et al, 2010;Baptista et al, 2011a). Moreover, major efforts have been addressed to enhance the seismic network to cover areas around the Azores-Gibraltar plate boundary, and in particular the Cadiz Gulf region.…”
