    This study evaluates the geomorphological state of 12 beach-dune systems over time, classifying them into four stages according to their degree of degradation: 1- systems in a natural state (two beaches), 2- highly altered or disappeared dune systems (three beaches), 3- dune systems in recovery process (five beaches), and 4- stabilized dune systems (two beaches).

    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 area exposed to an avalanche. Mapped based on analysis of the terrain and of signs that avalanches leave in their path, mainly, in forests. In Avalanche Zones, avalanches occur frequently and are of different sizes. Avalanche Zones have been systematically mapped throughout the region. They are shown in orange. There are two types of Avalanche Zones: zones where avalanches usually follow the same path, shown in orange, and zones where avalanches usually follow different paths, shown in pale orange.

    Study that collects, from a more general perspective, all the information on the problem of sand loss and the disappearance of beaches in the Maresme region. From a more specific level, the study focuses on the port of Masnou and the coastal dynamics correction measures that can be applied there.

    The study analyzes the evolution of the beaches of Sant Adrià de Besòs, Badalona and Montgat during the last decades to be able to characterize the problems encountered there, identify the most critical points and define initial proposals to solve the problem of regression they suffer.

    The current sanitary crisis caused by the rapid expansion of COVID-19 offered the possibility of giving respite to dune systems and allowing their natural regeneration after the effects of storm Gloria. This storm affected the Levantine and Balearic coasts between January 21 and 23, and when some systems began to recover, intensive coastal management again compromised the integrity of dune systems. The urgency to have the systems "ready" for consumption and exploitation moves away from the concept of sustainable tourism management and does not contribute to climate change adaptation. In this work, et points out some management actions on emerged beaches that have taken place during lockdown and deconfinement. The study focus on three management actions that reveal malpractice, such as leveling and mechanical cleaning, the construction of breakwaters, and the removal of Posidonia oceanica. For this, several case studies representing some of the best-preserved beach-dune systems in Catalonia and the Balearic Islands have been chosen.

    : 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.

    The map contains a detailed representation of the relief, depth, seabed type and marine habitats identified on the coast of Catalonia. The area surveyed was the entire Catalan coast up to 50 m depth. The Marine Habitats Map brings together the following data sets: Marine habitats (EUNIS classification level 3 and 4); Complementary marine habitats (EUNIS classification level 5); Seabed type; Coastal strip elevation model; and Bathymetry.

    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.
