Information regarding an avalanche observed recently. Mapped based on direct observation of the event or observation following it. The information is obtained based on the nivometeorological observation network, rescue groups, countryside wardens, mountain guides, and ski and mountain resort personnel. In the event of important episodes and accidents the IGC technicians also gather information. The elements mapped mainly include the extent to which avalanches affect populated areas, roads, ski resorts and people who carry out mountain activities. Data began to be gathered in 1986. It is shown in blue.

: Information regarding an avalanche observed in the past. Mapped based on a survey of inhabitants of the area where the phenomenon took place. The boundaries shown are based on the explanations given by the witnesses consulted. Information is usually taken from Avalanche Zones close to inhabited areas where avalanches have historically interfered with human activity. For this reason the majority of the information is found around these zones. They are shown in purple. Cartography often maps only the avalanche arrival zone, as the descriptions usually refer to their extent and the damage caused.

3D model of Port del Comte aquifers, developed as part of the assessment of underground water resources available in Catalonia. More specifically, this model contains the lithological-hydrogeological units, the main geological structures, the topographic surface of the project area, the location of the main karst springs and the saturated rock volumes of the water reservoirs associated with each of the springs

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.

The study analyzes the temporal and spatial evolution of the Platera dune system, located in Baix Empordà (Girona), using variables of use, state, and management over 16 periods between 1956 and 2016. The results obtained provide a detailed view of the Platera beach-dune system through its geoenvironmental evolution, and allow it to be directly related to parameters of use, management, and planning, with special importance to the foredune morphologies as a stabilizing element of the systems.

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.

Delimitation of the hidrogeological units of Catalonia (aquifers, aquitards, aquicludes and aquifer systems), i.e. those parts of the lithosphere with distinctive parameters for water storage and conduction. The data model of this geoinformation is based on the technical specifications of geological data of the INSPIRE Directive (2007/2/CE).

This article updates the floristic knowledge of the species that colonize the beaches and dunes of the Catalan coast. The study identifies typical species of these habitats, as well as those restricted to dunes. A total of 87 dune systems were sampled, identifying 224 species, of which 87 are considered typical of beach and dune habitats, and 34 are exclusive to these environments. The presence of exotic species reflects human impact on these ecosystems.

This study analyzes the historical transformation and current situation of the dune landscape in Catalonia.

The central element is the 1:25,000 geological map; the rest are called peripheral elements. The peripheral elements are: the legend of the cartographic units, the conventional signs, the stratigraphic columns, the geological sections, the stratigraphic relationship diagram, the geological diagram and the complementary diagrams. The geological map shows the distribution of different types of rocks that emerge on the surface of the earth and their relative arrangement. It allows us to deduce much of the arrangement of rocks in the subsoil and to learn about the geological history of a region. It is a two-dimensional graphic representation that allows us to make extrapolations in three dimensions or, even, four if time is considered, depending on the level of reading that is made. It is formed by a set of cartographic units limited by contacts and by symbols that represent other geological elements: surface dip, folding structures, subsoil information (isopachs or isobaths of the Quaternary), slope of recent deposits, morphological indications, landslides and other recent processes, deposits, etc. It also includes symbols of various references (geological sections, drillings, names of major geological structures, etc.).
