    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 geoinformation is a cartographic document that provides a global view of the country's soil structure and offers, in a synthetic form, information on the distribution of soils in the territory, their morphologies, and their physical, chemical and biological characteristics.

    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 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.

    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.

    The study analyzes the spatiotemporal evolution of the dune systems of Alt and Baix Empordà based on geomorphological and management variables applied in 16 periods between 1956 and 2016.

    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.

    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.

    : 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.
