Marine terrace staircases of western Iberia: uplift rate patterns from rocky li...
Martins, António; Gouveia, Margarida Porto; Cunha, Pedro Proença; Gomes, Alberto; Falguères, Christophe; Voinchet, Pierre; Stokes, MartinThe Western Iberian passive margin is under compressive tectonic reactivation resulting in spatial and temporal variations in surface uplift. This uplift can be quantified in coastal settings using staircases of wave-cut platforms developed onto rocky headlands. This study focuses on two marine terrace staircases of central Portugal: Cape Raso (west of Lisbon) and Cape Espichel (western Arrábida mountain chain)...
Plio-Quaternary coastal uplift along the western Iberian margin: insights from ...
Gouveia, Margarida; Cunha, Pedro; Martins, António; Falguères, Christophe; Voinche, Pierre; Gomes, Alberto; Bahain, Jean-Jacques; Stokes, MartinThis study provides a detailed geomorphological study of the Peniche Peninsula, located in westernmost Iberia, a resistant rocky limestone headland subjected to high energy Atlantic Ocean coastal processes. We have used field mapping, surveying, sedimentary facies analysis, geochronology (electron spin resonance [ESR]; U-Series), but also identification of fossils and lithic artefacts, in order to: 1) reconstru...

Gouveia, Maria Margarina Porto; Martins, António A.; Cunha, P. P.; Gomes, António Alberto; Falguères, Christophe; Voinchet, Pierre; Stokes, MartinThis study focuses on two marine terrace staircases of central Portugal: Cabo Raso (west of Lisboa) and Cabo Espichel (western Arrábida chain). Four emerse marine terraces were found in the Cabo Raso area, while twelve were found at Cabo Espichel, according to geomorphological and stratigraphical studies. Electron Spin Resonance and luminescence dating were used to establish a chronology for the coastal stairca...
The Lowermost Tejo River Terrace at Foz do Enxarrique, Portugal: A Palaeoenviro...
Cunha, Pedro P.; Martins, António; Buylaert, Jan-Pieter; Murray, Andrew S.; Gouveia, Maria P.; Font, Eric; Pereira, Telmo; Figueiredo, SilvérioReconstruction of Pleistocene environments and processes in the sensitive geographical location of westernmost Iberia, facing the North Atlantic Ocean, is crucial for understanding impacts on early human communities. We provide a characterization of the lowest terrace (T6) of the Lower Tejo River, at Vila Velha de Ródão (eastern central Portugal). This terrace comprises a lower gravel bed and an upper division ...
