Amer Fault surprises geologists

Researchers of the Department of Geology and of UAB's Gabinet Geològic d'Anàlisi Territorial i Ambiental (GATA), directed by Mario Zarroca, characterised the Amer fault and the subsoil of the homonymous population. They identified ground ruptures and emanation of gases which they relate to the fault's seismic activities. Their innovative methodology includes historical and bibliographical information - in 1472 the fault provoked the most intense episode of earthquakes Catalonia has seen - and an extremely detailed geomorphologic study in which endogenous emanation of gases were measured.

The Croscat is a volcano in the comarca of Garrotxa, Catalonia, Spain. It is both the youngest and highest volcano in the Iberian Peninsula, with the last eruption dated back to about 11,500 years ago. The volcanic cone has a horseshoe shape and its northeastern flank was quarried for volcanic gravel until the early 1990s, exposing the internal structure of the cone from top to bottom. The volcano is located in the Garrotxa volcanic field, a Quaternary volcanic field also known as Olot volcanic field, as part of the protected area of the Garrotxa Volcanic Zone Natural Park.
