In the last few decades, there has been a growing interest in obtaining subsurface information. The development of more accurate, portable and modern equipment has increased the potential of geophysical instruments to image the subsurface and estimate various physical parameters of materials. Moreover, geomatics techniques have evolved exponentially in the last decade and research in almost all fields of the natural sciences is coupling them to traditional methods. In recent years, the Department of Geosciences at the University of Malta has been investigating the seismicity of the archipelago through a dense seismic monitoring network and the study of faults present on the islands (Galea et al., 2021; Villani et al., 2018). The approach used combines geological field methods, near-surface geophysical methods and the use of remote sensing. On the other hand, the University of Granada (Spain) has extensive experience in the study of structures and the monitoring of the seismic hazard of the Granada Basin, Spain, at both regional and outcrop scales (Galindo-Zaldívar et al., 1999; Madarieta‐Txurruka et al., 2021; Madarieta‐Txurruka et al., 2022) Within this context, the project Geophysics and Geomatics to characterize the Geological structures, their activity and their related hazard in the Granada Basin, Spain (3G) seek a mutual benefit between both institutions with similar and complementary scientific and applied interests. It involves joint research between the two institutions to study a potentially hazardous and relatively understudied basin boundary fault in the Granada Basin, the Dílar Fault.
