: 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.

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

Geothermal 3D model of the Fossa de l'Empordà, developed as part of the GeoERA HotLime project (Mapping and Assessment of Geothermal Plays in Deep Carbonate Rocks – Cross-domain Implications and Impacts, 2018-2021). More specifically, this model contains the lithological units, the main geological structures, the geothermal model with the 3D temperature and geothermal potential distribution of the GLF aquifer, the location of the exploration drillings and the topographic surface of the scope of the project.

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

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.

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.

This study analyzes the changes in the dune landscape of Catalonia as a result of urban and tourism pressure and describes the main dune systems that still persist, highlighting their causes of degradation.
-
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.

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.
