Report analysing the effects of the early September 2023 DANA in Catalonia (heavy rainfall focused on Terres de l’Ebre and significant swell), based on press, social media, municipal inputs and satellite imagery, including an impacts inventory.

Report identifying geological hazards across 166 sectors within the Girona Coastal RSNS Master Plan, describing territorial context, methodology, identification criteria, hazard assessment and recommendations.

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.

The dune system of La Pletera has been studied using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to assess the effects of sand traps and revegetation. The volumetric data obtained from UAV RGB sensors was compared with data from the previous Lidar flight.

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.

Methodological report defining how to characterize flooding and erosion along the Catalan coast, considering present conditions and climate-change scenarios (SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5). It proposes combining wave and sea-level data (IH Cantabria, CNRM), calculating flood elevation (MM+MA+run-up+SLR), and using the XBeach model (1D/2D) to delineate hazard, alongside an approach to estimate erosion and assess risk in GIS.

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.

Report describing the update of the permanent flooding model and viewer based on IPCC AR6 sea level projections, including new layers, methodology and results.

Study that collects, from a more general perspective, all the information on the problem of sand loss and the disappearance of beaches in the Maresme region. From a more specific level, the study focuses on the port of Masnou and the coastal dynamics correction measures that can be applied there.
