Região Centro de Portugal Continental: 150 anos de movimentos de vertente de or...
Barros, J. L.; Tavares, A. O.; Santos, P. P.; Pereira, S.Este estudo dedica-se à análise dos movimentos de vertente ocorridos na região Centro de Portugal Continental, entre 1865-2015. Foram inventariadas ocorrências que resultaram da análise de trabalhos académicos, atas, registos hemerográficos (como os que suportam a base de dados Disaster) e observações de campo. A espacialização das ocorrência s permite observar que a maioria envolve materiais como turbiditos, x...
Study of superficial waters quality in a post-wildfire scenario in Portugal Cen...
Sequeira, M. D.; Castilho, A. M.; Dinis, P. A.; Tavares, A. O.Following the major wildfires that affected the Central region of Portugal in 2017, a watercourse monitoring campaign was initiated in November 2017 to determine changes in water proprieties in a post-fire scenario, and establish the persistence of these effects. In the Mondego River basin, 10 points, from 6 watercourses, were chosen based on the size of the watershed and the percentage of burnt area. Monthly w...
A landslide risk index for municipal land use planning in Portugal
Pereira, Susana; dos Santos, Pedro; Zêzere, José; Tavares, A. O.; Garcia, R.A.C.; Oliveira, S.In Portugal landslides caused 237 fatalities and >1600 displaced people in the period 1865-2015. Spatial distribution and temporal patterns of slope instability can be related with a complex set of natural and human factors responsible for generating damages. It is essential to develop new methodologies to synthetize risk dimensions to contribute to the landslide risk management at the municipal level. This wor...

Decennial comparison of changes in social vulnerability: A municipal analysis i...
Tavares, A. O.; Barros, J. L.; Mendes, J. M.; Santos, P. P.; Pereira, S.The concept of Social Vulnerability (SV) is characterized and distinguished by its complexity and multidisciplinarity. This concept takes into account the specific characteristics of the individual and his social and economic relations, as well as the physical environment where he is inserted. These differentiating characteristics make Social Vulnerability (SV) an indispensable work tool in the process of chara...
A new approach for social vulnerability in mainland Portugal area for risk miti...
Tavares, A. O.; Barros, J. L.; Santos, P. P.; Mendes, J. M.The concept of Social Vulnerability (SV) is characterized by its multidimensionality. In the present study, Social Vulnerability was analyzed and evaluated according to the methodology developed by the Center for Social Studies of the University of Coimbra, which presents as innovative feature the incorporation of the Criticality and Support Capability components. Social Vulnerability was calculated for the 278...
DISASTER: a GIS database on hydro-geomorphologic disasters in Portugal
Zêzere, José; Pereira, Susana; Tavares, A. O.; Bateira, C.; Trigo, R. M.; Quaresma, I.; Santos, P. P.; Santos, M.; Verde, J.In the last century, Portugal was affected by several natural disasters of hydro-geomorphologic origin that often caused high levels of destruction. However, data on past events related to floods and landslides were scattered. The Disaster project aims to bridge the gap on the availability of a consistent and validated hydro-geomorphologic database for Portugal, by creating, disseminating and exploiting a GIS d...
Comparing historical-hydrogeomorphological reconstitution and hydrological-hydr...
Santos, P.P.; Tavares, A. O.; Andrade, A. I. A. S. S.The Arunca River basin in Central Portugal has a historical record of hazardous events related to floods, causing widespread disturbance. This article describes the application of two approaches based on well-known methods for the estimation of flood-prone areas: (i) historicalhydrogeomorphological reconstitution, applied to the entire Arunca River basin, and (ii) hydrological-hydraulic modelling, applied to fo...
