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.

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 analyses the evolution of the coastline and the hydrodynamic behaviour of the beach in the municipality of Gavà and the possibility of implementing a stabilization solution with a geotube similar to that used in Sète (France). It also collects environmental information and the characterization of the habitats, marine communities and sediments in this environment. Finally, it proposes a roadmap to improve and expand knowledge of the problems detected and propose appropriate solutions.

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 analyzes geohistorical sources to understand coastal management of Sant Pere Pescador beach in the Gulf of Roses.

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 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.

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.

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.
