    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 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 study analyzes the influx and mobility of recreational and sports boats on the beaches and coves of the Baix Empordà coastline, as well as user behavior and the impact on ecosystems.

    The Gloria storm affected the Catalan coast between January 19th and 23rd, 2020. The study characterizes the wave climate and the prior morphodynamic conditions, compiles the most notable impacts, and proposes the need for a shift in coastal management towards an ecosystem-based approach.

    Physical properties and composition of geologic materials (rocks and sediments), their structure and their age as depicted in the Geological map 1:250,000, as well as geomorphological features, boreholes and hydrogeological units of Catalonia. This data set is conforming to the technical specifications of INSPIRE Geology (and Hydrogeology).

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

  • Categories  

    Analysis of the diversity and complexity of the coastal landscape, resulting from the interaction between natural and human processes.

  • Categories  

    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.

    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.
