Abstract
Abstract. The structural styles and magnitudes of Alpine tectonic inversion are reviewed for the Atlantic margin of SW Iberia, a region known for its historical earthquakes, tsunamis, and associated geohazards. Reprocessed, high-quality 2D seismic profiles provide new images of 26 faults, which were mapped to a depth exceeding 10 km for the first time in this work. The faults are mostly syn-rift structures accommodating vertical uplift and horizontal advection (shortening) during Alpine tectonics. At a regional scale, tectonic reactivation has been marked by: a) the exhumation of parts of the present-day continental shelf, b) local folding and thrusting of sediment at the foot of the continental slope, and c) oversteepening of syn- and post-rift strata near reactivated faults (e.g. ‘passive uplift’). This work proves, for the first time, that geometric coherence dominated the growth and linkage of offshore faults in SW Iberia; thus, they are prone to reactivate as a kinematically coherent fault network. Importantly, they form 100–250 km long structures, the longest of which may generate earthquakes with a momentum magnitude (Mw) greater than 8.0. Tectonic inversion started in the Late Cretaceous and its magnitude is greater close to where magmatic intrusions are identified at depth. In contrast to previous models, this work postulates that regions where Late Mesozoic magmatism was more intense comprise thickened, harder crust, forming lateral buttresses to NW-SE compression. It shows these structural buttresses to have promoted the development of early stage fold-and-thrust belts – typical of convergent margins – in two sectors of SW Iberia.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
