Dear Jay,
I appreciated your great work in collecting and interpreting information and data on the 6.8 magnitude earthquake that struck the High Atlas mountains in Morocco on September 8, 2023.
However, I find it necessary to point out a paper, of which I am the corresponding author, which illustrates the results of several years of field work in the Moroccan High Atlas. I mean Ellero, A., Malusa, M.G., Ottria, G., Ouanaimi, H., Froitzheim, N. (2020) Transpressional structuring of the High Atlas belt, Morocco. Journal of Structural Geology, 135, 104021. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jsg.2020.104021
This paper provides a new model for the tectonic evolution of the High Atlas, including also geological cross-sections close to the epicenter of the earthquake in question, and it is useful for a clear explanation for the seismicity of the region.
Please let me know if you will consider our paper to update your webpage.
Thank you.
Best regards
Giuseppe
