Аннотация: The Granada Basin is a slowly deforming intramountain basin in the Betic Cordillera (S-Spain). Despite historical and paleoseismological evidence for M6 earthquakes, instrumental seismicity lacks large events and the seismotectonic model must be built from small earthquakes (M < 5). Here, we reanalyze 35 years of data from the Granada Basin short period network, and further seismic stations with shorter operating time, to identify seismogenic structures and understand their relationships. We sort events with similar waveforms into multiplet clusters and perform relative location to image active fault patches. Cluster orientations are used as a priori constraint for inverting focal mechanisms from composite cluster polarity measurements. We further estimate moment tensor solutions from full waveform inversion using local and regional broadband stations. We can identify four groups of structures at different positions in the basin: 1) in the northeast sector, we observe shallow, NW-SE striking, high-angle normal faulting, often related with known fault structures; 2) the southern sector shows high-angle normal faulting on unmapped, ~E-W striking structures at mid-crustal depths; 3) between both groups, we image sub-horizontal fault patches, associated with the basal detachment beneath the basin, showing SSW transport direction; 4) at the western limit of the basin, we find ~N-S trending, left-lateral strike-slip faults. Groups 2 and 3 are characterized by clusters with overall constant event production rate, indicating ongoing and largely aseismic creep of the basal detachment over the last 35 years. Seismological evidence suggests a locking depth of ~10 km and a brittle-ductile transition near 15 km, according to the depth range of clusters in groups 2 and 3.
