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.

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.
-
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.

This study analyzes the structure and dynamics of the coastal juniper forest of Punta de la Creueta in Tarragona, comparing it with juniper forests of the island of Mallorca.
-
This study aims to develop high-resolution digital elevation models to quantify changes in sediment retention and dune height both pre and post construction of the fences.
-
This study assesses the changes in coastal dune landscapes in Catalonia, based on photographic, cartographic, and documentary sources between 1890 and 1960, comparing them with the current status of dunes.

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.

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.

Based on the "Preliminary Studies for the stabilization of the beaches of Sant Adrià de Besòs, Badalona and Montgat", of March 2021, this document proposes a series of stabilization measures for the beaches of Badalona and Montgat.
-
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).
