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.

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.

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.

Study characterising the intrinsic erodibility of the geological materials of the Catalan coast through lithological, geomorphological and cartographic analysis, including coastline classification, Holocene deposits and bedrock units.

Methodological report describing models, data and procedures to analyse flooding and erosion along the Catalan coast.

The study analyzes the floristic composition and vegetation structure in the dune spaces of the Llobregat Delta, highlighting the changes caused by natural and anthropic factors. The impacts of exotic species, especially invasive ones, are also discussed.

This technical report is an update and expansion of the preliminary studies for the stabilization of the beaches of Gavà and Viladecans, of December 2019. This new document analyzes the entire coastal section that extends from the mouth of the Llobregat river to Ginesta port and the evolution of the shoreline from 1990 to 2020, critical areas and related problems are identified with coastal stability, and action strategies are proposed that can solve the problem that has been identified.

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.

This study analyzes the historical management of coastal dune fields on the Catalan coast to understand their changes over time.
