Publisher Description: This book presents new results and data for the 1969 Saint Vincent Cape Earthquake (Mw=7.8) and tsunami.

On February 28th, 1969, a large earthquake (Mw=7.8) strokes the Iberian Peninsula and northern Morocco, producing some causalities and important damage and economic losses. In this Topical volume ten papers are published, which are representative of many contributions presented at a Workshop organized by the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (Spain) and the instituto Geogr fico Nacional (Madrid, Spain) on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the 1969 earthquake.
