Abstract
The mud volcanism in the Iberian and Moroccan margins of the Gulf of Cadiz is well known
over more than a decade. Nevertheless, new structures and morphologies related to fluid venting
are still discovered in the recent oceanographic cruise SUBVENT2 in 2014 along the Moroccan
margin. Four new mud volcanoes have been identified along two sector of Moroccan margin. Two of
them in the Eastern Moroccan Margin - EMF (Subvent and Rosco mud volcanoes), located in the
upper slope between 350 and 500 m depth. The other two in the Western Moroccan Margin - WMF
(Demetrio de Armas and Port Royal), located in the middle slope at 1800 m depth. The main aim of
this paper is the morphological characterization of these new mud volcanoes using swath
bathymetric data to analyze the relation between tectonic and sedimentary processes with
multiparametric sounder and high resolution multichannel seismic profiles. The interpretation of
these seismic profiles show that the source of expelled material ...
