Transpressive deformation at the northern Caribbean plate boundary is accommodated mostly by two major strikeslipfaults, but the amount and location of accommodation of the compressional component of deformation is still debated.We collected marine geophysical data including multi-beam bathymetry and multichannel seismic reflection profiles...

Multibeam bathymetry data and multichannel seismic reflection profiles have been collected at the end of 2012 along the Enriquillo-Plantain-Garden Fault Zone (EPGFZ) in the Jamaica Passage, between Jamaica and Hispaniola. Analysis of the data set reveals the tectonic evolution and the stratigraphic complexity of the northern Caribbean boundary....

Haiti, located at the northern Caribbean plate boundary, records a geological history of terrane accretion from Cretaceous island arc formations to the Eocene to Recent oblique collision with the Bahamas platform. Little is presently known about the underlying crustal structure of the island. We analyze P-waveforms arriving at 27 temporary...
