Abstract

This dataset provides the final published PDF of the article: León, R., Palomino, D., Vázquez, J. T., Medialdea, T., Somoza, L. (2019). A new scenario for the mass transport deposits west Canary volcanic province. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 509, 27–37. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2018.12.020. The study presents a new interpretation of mass transport deposits (MTDs) in the western Canary Islands volcanic province, based on detailed geological and geophysical analyses. It highlights the processes and mechanisms controlling debris flows and the distribution of MTDs, contributing to a better understanding of volcanic slope stability and associated hazards. Keywords: mass transport deposits, debris flow, Canary Islands
