The boreholes database is an inventory of subsurface data in Catalonia through the collection of available geological and geotechnical survey information. The surveys are classified into three groups: surveys, penetrometers and trial pits.

This study analyzes the sediment loss associated with the removal of Syringodium filiforme berms from 10 beaches in the Dominican Republic. The results show that approximately 63.8% of the removed volume corresponds to interspersed sediment. This type of management has a continuous morphological impact, affecting the stability of the system's sediment balance.

The GeoBase of soils of Catalonia v1.0 is a database intended to store information on soils caught in the field and that necessary for generate soil maps of the territory of Catalonia at different scales, such as the Soil Map 1: 25,000 of Catalonia (MSC25M), or other maps that have been previously prepared (eg at scales 1: 25,000 and 1: 250,000). Contains information on soil profiles with varying levels of detail captured in the field (observations and pits), the composition on horizons, some of its physical and chemical characteristics as well as different types of soils that appear in an area, its spatial distribution.

This study analyzes the impact of the distribution of coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) on the beaches of the Dominican Republic and its relationship with coastal erosion and the dynamics of beach-dune systems. A total of 31 beach-dune systems were compared using 17 qualitative variables to assess the influence of palm trees planted for agricultural or touristic purposes on beach morphology, anthropic occupation, and dynamics. The results indicate that beaches with palm trees planted for touristic purposes exhibit higher compaction, slumping, and erosion, as well as lower resilience in the beach-dune system. These beaches also have a higher presence of tourist complexes, mechanical cleaning, and removal of vegetal debris, which contributes to the alteration of the beach profile and native vegetation. Palm trees can also act as wave flow accelerators, exacerbating sediment loss and increasing the risk of the palms themselves falling, which entails personal risks. It is concluded that the removal of coconut palms and comprehensive beach restoration, including the recovery of dune fronts and associated vegetation, are necessary actions to improve the stability and dynamics of Dominican coasts. Furthermore, the importance of developing planning and management strategies that promote the conservation and restoration of beach-dune systems in touristic and agricultural areas is suggested.

Report defining and applying a methodology to map coastal hazards (flooding, erosion, accretion) on 1:25,000 sheets for Roses, Castelló d’Empúries, Sant Pere Pescador and L’Escala, combining field data and models (SWAN, XBeach) and considering present and future scenarios (RCP8.5).
-
Report developed under contract H-3/2024 between ICM-CSIC and ICGC that defines an integrated methodology for characterizing the recent sedimentary cover of the Catalan coast. It details protocols from planning and acquisition of high-resolution seismic profiles to the processing and storage of data and samples (surface samples and vibrocores), aiming to obtain reliable, reproducible and high-quality data tailored to the project objectives.
-
Methodological report setting theoretical bases, parameters and mapping guidance to incorporate active and recent coastal processes into the 1:25,000 geo-anthropic map, describing morphology, morphodynamics, driving agents and proposed indicators and symbology.
-
Study characterising the intrinsic erodibility of the geological materials of the Catalan coast through lithological, geomorphological and cartographic analysis, including coastline classification, Holocene deposits and bedrock units.
-
Report describing the maritime storm that occurred between 19 and 23 January 2017 and compiling visual, documentary and cartographic information on rainfall, wind, waves and damages, including municipal questionnaires, press review, field surveys and scarp mapping.
