Climate change is likely to have an impact on runoff and fluvial sediments in watersheds. These factors are among those used characterize water bodies relation the European Water Framework Directive (WFD). Hence, it important investigate extent which climate may hinder achievement of objectives WFD. We explored potential sediment yield for Aixola watershed using Soil Assessment Tool (SWAT). The model calibration (2007–2010) validation (2005–2006) results were rated as satisfactory....
The Pyrenees. Pyrenees is sensitive to changes in climate (both natural and of anthropic origin) land use cover (LULC). These can influence the water resources. historical evolution (1980–2013) stream flows are studied using observed time series from non-influenced gauging stations two models (SASER SWAT). Their comparison helps detect analyze flow rates their trends (trends computed Sen's slope estimator, significance which was evaluated Mann-Kendall test). Furthermore, it also allows...
The conservation of constructions, and especially built heritage, requires complex studies concerning their Global Vulnerability. These have to consider the current state building, i.e. degradation degree, factors that mostly affect building and, therefore, generate alterations. are not limited structure location environmental also involved. Hence, assessment heritage vulnerability should itself be extended site environment. This work presents a systematic reproducible methodology for...
Rainfall is the key factor to understand soil erosion processes, mechanisms, and rates. Most research was conducted determine rainfall characteristics their relationship with (erosivity) but there little information about how atmospheric patterns control losses, this important enable sustainable environmental planning risk prevention. We investigated temporal spatial variability of relationships rainfall, runoff, sediment yield (weather types, WTs) in western Mediterranean basin. For...
The physically-based, spatially-distributed hydrometeorological model SASER, which is based on the SURFEX LSM, used to hydrological cycle in several domains Spain and southern France. In this study, modeled streamflows are validated a domain centered Pyrenees mountain range includes all surrounding river basins, including Ebro Adour-Garonne, with spatial resolution of 2.5 km. Low flows were found be poorly simulated by model. We present an improvement SASER modeling chain, introduces...
Abstract. The hydrological response of a catchment to rainfall on different timescales is result complex system involving range physical processes which may operate simultaneously and have spatial temporal influences. This paper presents the analysis streamflow small humid-temperate (Aixola, 4.8 km2) in Basque Country discusses role controlling factors. Firstly, daily time series was used establish hypothesis general functioning through relationship between precipitation discharge an annual...
Abstract The transport and yield of suspended sediment (SS) in catchments all over the world have long been topics great interest. This paper addresses scarcity information on SS delivery its environmental controls small catchments, especially Atlantic region. Five steep Gipuzkoa (Basque Country) with areas between 56 796 km 2 that drain into Bay Biscay were continuously monitored for precipitation, discharge concentration (SSC) their outlets from 2006 to 2013. Environmental characteristics...
Summary Microbial communities in hypersaline underground waters derive from ancient organisms trapped within the evaporitic salt crystals and are part of poorly known subterranean biosphere. Here, we characterized viral prokaryotic assemblages present springs that dissolve Triassic‐Keuper evaporite rocks feed Añana Salt Valley (Araba/Alava, Basque Country, Spain). Four water samples (around 23% total salinity) with different levels exposure to open air were analysed by means microscopy...
Abstract Construction and ornamental stones are important elements of cultural heritage geoheritage. The quarries, where these materials extracted, a type site that combines two types heritage. Both the character rock its place origin can be deeply rooted in local society. Red Ereño is red micritic limestone (Lower Cretaceous) with abundant white rudist fossil shells. This stone has been exploited since Roman times north Iberian Peninsula (Basque Country, Spain) exported internationally....
Relacionar el patrimonio cultural y la geología de un territorio permite acercar a población esta ciencia, que, en mayoría los casos, es menos conocida. En Geoparques Unesco interacción con las entidades locales fundamental para establecer proyectos desarrollo conservación, sobre todo zonas despobladas. Por este motivo actividades divulgación son esenciales. Este trabajo presenta dos talleres realizados iglesias, situadas Valle Valdelucio del Geoparque Las Loras, como ejemplo geológica torno...
Hydrological signatures are indices that help to describe the behavior of catchments. These can also be used transfer information from gauged ungauged In this study, different approaches were evaluated determine volumetric runoff coefficients in 18 small/medium experimental catchments Iberian Peninsula and fit calculations based on precipitation data for Using derived 1962 events, rainfall-runoff relationships characterized compared order evaluate various hydrological response patterns....
