The FAUCES project addresses the study of marine geological hazards, with special emphasis on sedimentary instabilities associated with three submarine canyons (Almanzora-Alías-Garrucha, La Linea and Guadiaro canyons) located on the Mediterranean continental margins of southern Iberia. The FAUCES2 cruise is organized into three specific objectives: 1) to determine the geomorphology and geological evolution of the canyon heads, during the Quaternary, their processes and controlling factors; 2) to analyze the slope-stability of canyon heads by means of sedimentary and geotechnical characterizations, as well as modelling; and 3) to establish the key elements and geological processes that can represent a potential hazard
