    This work assesses the level and role of management and the morphological status of coastal dunes in Catalonia and Valencia. Ten beach-dune systems were studied to determine how management actions influence their morphological status. Results show two main groups: those without sustainable management, in an advanced erosive state, and those where sustainable management was applied, presenting good conservation status.

    The study examines human influence on the evolution of beach-dune systems in the Balearic Islands, focusing on afforestation with Pinus halepensis. Historically, actions have been taken to stabilize these areas, significantly impacting the morphology and dynamics of the systems. Through a historical review and analysis of 31 such systems, it is evident that the presence of Pinus halepensis is largely associated with human interventions, significantly affecting vegetation structure and biodiversity conservation.

    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.

    Inventory of defence structures built to reduce the risk of avalanches. Single and lineal structures are documented, such as artificial avalanche release systems, road barriers, breakers, deflection structures, retention nets, screens, wind baffles, deflectors, rigid and flexible barriers, retention walls, reforestation and controlled areas.

    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.

  • Categories    

    Soil information on soil profiles described in the field, with varying degrees of detail, both of the place where the observation is made and of the profile described. Including its composition in horizons, morphological description and physical-chemical characterization, such as the type of soil.

    This geoinformation is a cartographic document that provides a global view of the country's soil structure and offers, in a synthetic form, information on the distribution of soils in the territory, their morphologies, and their physical, chemical and biological characteristics.

    The Geoanthropic Map is a cartographic document with applied geothematic content in which the current state of the physical constitution of the territory is represented, at the appropriate scale for territorial planning, as a result of anthropogenic action on the geological environment and the geological conditions for human activity. It reflects those geological elements and processes that directly affect or may directly affect human activities, together with those human activities or actions that modify the morphological characteristics of the topographic surface or that may directly affect the physical properties and behavior of the natural terrain. The Geoanthropic Map includes elements typical of a geomorphological map, while, in the Anglo-Saxon sense of the term, it makes an inventory of natural geological processes and artificial interventions in the geological environment. It classifies natural processes according to their activity and orders them according to the areas of generation of the materials involved, the transport mechanisms, the areas of deposition and the characteristics and geological properties of the deposits. Similarly, it classifies artificial elements and deposits according to the activities that have generated them, to which they give or have given service. This map also includes geotechnical determinations, such as a map of lithological groups and structural elements, the degree of consolidation, the degree of weathering, the degree of rippability and other geomechanical properties of the materials.

    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.

    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.
