Résumé

Analysis of a new dataset of high-resolution seismic and swath bathymetry data acquired during the CONTOURIBER-1 cruise in the Ceuta Contourite Depositional System (Western Alborán Sea), reveals the detailed architecture of several mud volcanoes systems that comprises both surface and buried constructional edifices as well as their subsurface feeder complex which pierces the contourite deposits. Seismic characterization, distribution and interpretation of structural elements associated to the mud volcano system promotes a more comprehensive understanding of the processes involved in their genesis and evolution.
