Abstract

This study is focused on the description of the arcuated geomorphology and the structural pattern of the Betic and Rif Domain surrounding the West-Alboran Sea bordering S-Spain and N-Morocco based on remote sensing data. Sentinel 2, Landsat 8 and ASTER-images and Sentinel 1 radar images help to identify the structural pattern. Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data and the DEM derived morphometric maps support these investigations being integrated into a GeoInformation System (GIS). The evaluations of the various satellite data, especially after digital image processing of the Landsat thermal bands, contribute to the inventory of a large ring structure with more than 130 km in diameter. This distinct expressed ring structure becomes evident even more on slope gradient and dropraster maps.
