In the context of global climate change and sea-level rise, coastal dunes are often important elements in response to storm wave surge impacts on lowlands. Vegetation cover, turn, has profound dune morphology storm-buffering function; it binds existing sediment, promotes fresh sediment accumulation thereby increases volume crest elevation where a sediment-plant interaction plays out with vegetation growth attempting out-pace vertical accumulation. A analysis shows that cover increased...
Abstract There is a relative lack of research, targeted models and tools to manage beaches in estuaries bays (BEBs). Many have been highly modified urbanised, for example port developments coastal revetments. This paper outlines the complications opportunities conserving managing BEBs estuaries. To do this, we focus on eight diverse case studies from North South America, Asia, Europe, Africa Australia combined with broader global literature. Our key findings are as follows: (1) exist under...
The rocky and indented coast of NW Iberia is characterized by the presence highly valuable vulnerable, small shallow barrier–lagoon systems structurally controlled. case study was selected to analyse evolution based on detailed sedimentary architecture, chronology, geochemical biological proxies. main objective test hypothesis structural control significance at regional scale any high-energy event recorded. This work also aimed identifying general patterns conceptualizing formation this type...
Abstract. Benthic foraminifera are important components of the ocean benthos and play a major role in biogeochemistry ecosystem functioning. Generating ecological baselines for monitoring or biogeographical distributions requires reference dataset recent census data. Moreover, information from their modern biogeography can be used to interpret past environmental changes on seafloor. In this study, we provide first comprehensive quantitative benthic database surface sediments eastern Pacific...
Coastal dunes evolve in direct response to primary drivers, such as wind and waves, which can significantly influence the landscape. Here, we examine effects of wave regimes on vegetation cover shoreline position dune system that makes up Doniños barrier rocky NW Iberian coast since middle 20th century. By studying a series aerial images, determined vegetated experienced net seaward advance at an average rate 1.28 ± 0.01 m/year overall coverage expansion 50.5 %. Available local atmospheric...
Abstract. Sandy beaches are ever-changing environments, as they experience constant reshaping due to the external forces of tides, waves, and winds. The shoreline position, which marks boundary between water sand, holds great significance in fields coastal geomorphology, engineering, management. It is crucial understand how evolve over time, but high-resolution datasets scarce, establishing monitoring systems can be costly. To address this, we present a new dataset shorelines five Spanish...
González-Villanueva, R., Costas, S. Alejo, I. and Pérez-Arlucea, M., 2007. Morphological changes forced by the tidal cycle in a low estuarine beach. Journal of Coastal Research, SI 50 (Proceedings 9th International Symposium), 1010 – 1014. Gold Coast, Australia, ISSN 0749.0208 The aim this study is to analyse morphological variations energy beach during cycle. Following purpose, two surveys were deployed under contrasted hydrodynamic conditions at face Ladeira Beach (NW Spain). Data field...
Citizen science-based monitoring projects have emerged as powerful tools for understanding morphodynamic changes in beaches and fostering the democratization of coastal research management. The CoastSnap initiative exemplifies this approach. This study provides a comprehensive overview background evolution Spain, emphasizing its role enhancing our beach morphodynamics. paper presents an analysis CoastSnap’s performance during first five operational years country (2018-2022), highlighting...
Benthic foraminifera are single-celled organisms inhabiting all marine environments. Despite their high tolerance to oxygen depletion, the prevailing hypothesis anticipates a reduction in diversity permanently oxygen-depleted environments, including minimum zones. Here we re-evaluate and study endemism of benthic Eastern Pacific, an oceanic area hosting largest waters world. We focus our analysis on bottom how they compare with well-oxygenated waters. By utilizing extensive datasets...

La playa de Las Canteras (Gran Canaria) es el principal reclamo turístico y esparcimiento la ciudad Palmas Gran Canaria, por lo que tiene gran importancia socio-económica. Por ello, balance sedimentario ha sido objeto estudio constante en las últimas décadas, documentándose una tendencia a acumulación sedimento arco norte erosiva hacia sur. Este trabajo presenta puesta marcha dos bases monitorización línea costa mediante ciencia ciudadana Canteras. Dentro red CoastSnap, se localizó estación...
