This cluster of papers explores the geodynamic evolution, tectonic activity, and lithospheric structure of the Western Mediterranean region, focusing on areas such as the Atlas system, Alboran region, and plate boundaries. It investigates subduction, seismic activity, and the tectonic evolution of the region since the Mesozoic era.
