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.

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.

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.

Geophysical logging report of the Roquetes borehole to characterise subsurface materials, water column and physical parameters using temperature, conductivity and electromagnetic induction probes.

Preliminary analysis of Storm Nelson’s impacts (27/03–01/04/2024) along the Catalan coast: inventory of impacts, beach evolution and infrastructure damage, supported by post-storm aerial imagery and field surveys.
-
This study analyzes the changes in the dune landscape of Catalonia as a result of urban and tourism pressure and describes the main dune systems that still persist, highlighting their causes of degradation.
-
3D model of aquifers in the urban and peri-urban areas of Girona and surrounding municipalities, developed within the framework of the MUSE project (Management Urban Shallow geothermal Energy, 2018-2021). More specifically, this model contains the lithological-hydrogeological units, the main geological structures and the topographic and piezometric surfaces of the project area.

This data mainly includes: a map of sea surface temperature recorded the previous day in Catalonia, which is updated daily; a chart showing the daily average sea surface temperature in the Mediterranean, along with the annual trends from recent years and historical records from 1982 to 2019; and finally, another real-time map indicating the areas currently experiencing marine heatwaves. On the same website where this data is presented, more detailed information about this phenomenon can also be found.

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.
