Abstract

The Ventaniella fault is an important crustal scale structure oriented NW-SE between the north Iberian Margin and the Duero basin in the NW Iberian Peninsula. Its trace runs along more than 450 km. Nowadays it shows a moderate to low seismic activity in two segments, the northernmost across the continental platform and the southern one traversing the Cantabrian Mountains. From September 2015 a seismic network of 10 stations was deployed within the frame of two projects, GEOCANTABRICA and MISTERIOS, that will be active at le ast until the end of 2016. The purpose of the seismic network is to study the structure of the fault zone at depth through the collect ion of microseismicity. In addition, the ambient seismic noise will be studied through cross-correlation between pairs of station to characterise the structure of the crust at depth at both sides of the fault. The research aims to establish the role of the Ventaniella fault in the recent development of the relief in the Cantabrian Mountains
