Detailed observations of gravity, seismic profile and geological data reveal high ε consistent with large sedimentary thickness and minimum ε coinciding with elevations arising from the basement of the basin. From the distribution of seismic measurements of ξ it is possible to identify the presence of aquifers in detrital sediments, sandstone and dolostone. However, ξ does not show significant changes for the aquifers in geological formations made up also of schists and marbles. A low ξ anomaly in the western part could be associated with Triassic evaporite and clay rocks, and high values of ξ in the southwestern part near thermal springs may be imaging the intricate system of fractures which connect at depth with aquifer rocks.}, organization = {Comisión Interministerial de Ciencia y Tecnología CICYT (Spain) CGL2012–31472, CGL2009–11384}, organization = {Junta de Andalucía (Spain) P09-RNM-5100, P08-RNM-03713, RNM-104}, publisher = {Oxford University Press}, keywords = {Permeability and porosity}, keywords = {Seismicity and tectonics}, keywords = {Fractures and faults}, keywords = {Europe}, title = {Distribution of crack density parameter in Central Betic Cordillera (Southern Spain)}, doi = {10.1093/gji/ggt394}, author = {Serrano Bermejo, Inmaculada and Torcal, Federico and Morales Soto, José}, }
