Abstract
SIMA was funded by a grant from the Spanish Science Foundation (FECYT), involves several institutions like ICTJA-CSIC, Salamanca University and Autonomous University of Barcelona, the Scientific Institute of Rabat, University Cadi Ayyad in Marrakech, FST of Errachidia, University Sidi Mohammed ben Abdellah in Fes, and was supported as part of PICASSO by grant EAR 0808939 from the NSF Continental Dynamics Program
Highlights
The great development of the seismic wave methods was led by the oil and gas exploration industry, but these methodologies were quickly adopted in other exploration applications such as mineral, water, geothermal energy or waste disposal sites
Since the 80’s, seismic methods have been one of the most important tools to study the main orogens around the world, providing unique information about their geodynamics and the deep crustal structure
The image obtained for the upper 10 km of the model is essential in the future inversion approaches that might be applied to the whole dataset, including the inversion of different phases focused on the study of the middle and lower crust and the Moho discontinuity
Summary
The great development of the seismic wave methods was led by the oil and gas exploration industry, but these methodologies were quickly adopted in other exploration applications such as mineral, water, geothermal energy or waste disposal sites. These methods provide detailed information about the internal structure, the physical properties or the composition of the subsurface and give insights about the geological evolution and the geodynamics of the target area. Shortening, which is basically related to the convergence between Africa and Europe, is moderate, generally less than 20%, [1]-[6]
