Aeolization on the Atlantic Coast of Galicia (NW Spain) From the End of the Last Glacial Period to the Present Day: Chronology, Origin and Evolution of Coastal Dunes Linked to Sea-Level Oscillations
(Wiley, 2022-10-05)
[Abstract] The Atlantic coast of Galicia (NW Spain) is a high-energy environment where shingle beaches are currently developing. These coarser sediments alternate with sandy deposits which are also considered as beaches ...
Chronology of Coastal Alluvial Deposits in The Ria de Coruña (NW Spain) Linked to the Upper Pleistocene Sea Level Regression
(MDPI, 2022-10-04)
[Abstract] The Ria de Coruña (NW Spain) is a wide estuary recently formed by the flooding of the Mero fluvial valley lowlands during the last postglacial transgression. During the last glacial episode, with the sea level ...
New Model of Coastal Evolution in the Ria de Vigo (NW Spain) from MIS2 to Present Day Based on the Aeolian Sedimentary Record
(MDPI, 2022)
[Abstract] Galician Rias are fluvial valleys that were flooded during the last marine transgression in the Atlantic margin. The study of fossil dunes in the Cies Islands, a small archipelago in the mouth of the one of the ...
On the Genesis of Aluminum-Rich Speleothems in a Granite Cave of NW Spain
(Union Internationale de Spéléologie, 2021-02-22)
[Abstract] Granite massifs often contain caves, with dimensions ranging from a few meters up to 1,000 m, also referred to as pseudokarst. The speleothems in such caves are mostly composed of either Si-rich (commonly opal-A) ...
Estimating the Radioactive Heat Production of a Granitic Rock in the University of A Coruña (Galicia, Northwest Spain) by Gamma-ray Spectrometry
(MDPI, 2022-11-23)
[Abstract] Geothermal energy is a form of renewable energy with a long tradition in European countries, although it is scarcely used in Spain. One of the reasons for this is the poorly studied geothermal potential of the ...
Post-glacial Evolution of Alpine Environments in the Western Mediterranean Region: The Laguna Seca Record
(Elsevier, 2022-01-18)
[Abstract] In an effort to understand how alpine environments from the western Mediterranean region responded to climate variations since the last glacial-interglacial transition, a detailed chronological control and ...
Chronology of Four Climbing Dune Outcrops on the Atlantic Coast of Galicia (NW Spain) Linked to the Sea Level Fall during the MIS6 and MIS4 Isotopic Stages
(MDPI, 2022-02-23)
[Abstract] Numerous sandy deposits, interpreted as the remains of old climbing dunes, are preserved on the cliffy coast of Galicia (northwest Spain). These deposits can be found both in open coastal areas and in the interior ...

[Resumen] Las Islas Cíes han constituido un obstáculo para los intensos
vientos costeros del Atlántico Norte, especialmente durante las fases
glaciares del Cuaternario. Al final del último glaciar el mar descendió
