The transect runs from the tectonically stable Variscan Iberian Massif (North) to the deformed alpine tectonic domains of the Gibraltar Arc System and the Atlas intracontinental orogenic belt (South). Both domains are located in the westernmost continental segment of the African-Eurasian plates, a segment which is characterized by a diffuse transpressive contact between both plates. An integrated and self-consistent geophysical-petrological methodology (LitMod2d), recently improved by Kumar et al (2018, this meeting), is used to model the along transect variations of the structure and thermophysical properties of the lithosphere and sublithospheric mantle. The crust is mainly constrained by active and passivesource seismic experiments and available geological data, whereas the composition of the lithospheric mantle is constrained by xenolith data and tomography models. Results highlight large lateral variations in the topography of the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary (LAB). We distinguish different chemical lithospheric mantle domains that reproduce the main trends of the geophysical observables and the recorded P-, Pn- and S-wave seismic velocities. Low-velocity/high-temperature/low-density sublithospheric mantle domains are required to fit the observed mean topography and tomography data.
