Exploring visitor patterns in Island Natural Parks: the relationship between ph...

Overcrowding in national parks and protected areas can cause irreversible damage to the environment, compromising the quality of soil, water, wildlife, and vegetation. Thus, it is critical for park managers to have detailed information on visitor activities and spatial dynamics in order to prioritise actions capable of mitigating undesirable impacts in the most frequently visited areas. In this article, we use ...

Insights from a comparative GIS-MCDA groundwater vulnerability assessment in a ...

This work proposes a comprehensive methodology for evaluating fssured hard-rock groundwater resources through an integrative approach based on feldwork techniques, Geographic Information System (GIS)-based mapping, geospatial analysis and multiple-criteria decision analysis (MCDA). The study sites comprise distinct geological settings and geographic contexts, i.e. granitic rocks (NW Portugal) and metasedimentar...

Pleistocene Glaciations of the Northwest of Iberia: Glacial Maximum Extent, Ice...

Soajo Mountain is located in the northwestern Iberian Peninsula near the border between Portugal and Spain. Its highest elevation is 1416 m at the Pedrada summit. During the Pleistocene, the cascade cirques on the east flank and the icefield that covered the flattened surface of the high plateau generated several glacier valleys. This study presents a paleoglacial reconstruction of the relict glacial landscape ...

Moreias da Serra do Soajo: distribuição e extensão das glaciações plistocénicas

Since the end of the 19th century, attempts have been made to interpret the geomorphological testimonies of the Plistocene glaciations in the Soajo Mountains. The present study seeks to revisit the glacial theme and its morphologies, and to present the results of field reconnaissance and interpretation of new data using GIS, which confirm the presence of the moraines noted in the bibliography. However, it was p...

Moreias da Serra do Soajo: distribuição e extensão da Glaciação Plistocénica

The rock coast of continental Europe in the Atlantic

Rocky coasts occur along more than one-third (37%) of the Atlantic continental European coastline, approximately 3666 km, often forming vertical cliffs and characteristically gently sloping shore platforms. The continental European Atlantic rocky coasts show a great variability of rock types and structural contexts, as well as different wave climates and tidal ranges. Through a review of previously published da...
