  [Abstract] Plastic debris is thought to be widespread in freshwater ecosystems globally1. However, a lack of comprehensive and comparable data makes rigorous assessment of its distribution challenging2,3. Here we present ...

• Holocene Sea Level and Climate Interactions on Wet Dune Slack Evolution in SW Portugal: A Model for Future Scenarios? 

  Leira, Manel; Freitas, Maria da Conceição; Ferreira, T.; Cruces, Anabela; Connor, Simon; Andrade, C.; Lopes, Vera; Bao, Roberto (Sage, 2018)

  [Abstract] We examine the Holocene environmental changes in a wet dune slack of the Portuguese coast, Poço do Barbarroxa de Baixo. Lithology, organic matter, biological proxies and high-resolution chronology provide ...

• The Role of Climate, Marine Influence and Sedimentation Rates in Late-Holocene Estuarine Evolution (SW Portugal)
