Geoscience of the Built Environment: Pollutants and Materials Surfaces
(Molecular Diversity Preservation International, 2011)
An overview of issues with environmental relevance that arise from the interaction between pollutants and surfaces of the built environment is presented in this paper. Two broad perspectives are considered: decay of materials ...
Assessment by portable gamma spectrometry of external gamma radiation hazard due to granitic materials and indoor space typology
(Multidisciplinary Dixital Publishing Institute, 2017-12-14)
[Abstract] Building materials can contribute to ionizing radiation hazards due to their variable content in radioactive isotopes. Uranium, thorium, and potassium radioisotopes are present in various building materials due ...
An Overview of the Use of Absolute Dating Techniques in Ancient Construction Materials
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2016)
[Abstract] The reconstruction of the chronology of historical buildings is a tricky issue, as usually there are not historical documents that allow the assessment of construction phases, and some materials are hardly ...
Eating in silence: isotopic approaches to nuns' diet at the convent of Santa Catalina de Siena (Belmonte, Spain) from the sixteenth to the twentieth century
(Springer Nature, 2019-08)
[Abstract] Advances in geochemical and physical anthropological studies have provided new tools to reconstruct ancient lifestyles, especially of those minorities not commonly mentioned in historical texts. In comparison ...
An Interdisciplinary Study of Early Mediaeval Churches in North-Western Spain (Galicia)
(MDPI, 2019-02-12)
[Abstract:] Over the last five years, the EMCHAHE (Early Medieval Churches: History, Archaeology and Heritage) Project has analysed the architecture, archaeology and history of numerous rural churches of the High Middle ...
Equine diet during protohistoric times in the Northeast of the Iberian Peninsula: Stable isotope data (C, N) from bone collagen
(Elsevier, 2021-09-16)
[Abstract] The analysis of stable isotopes in bone collagen allows us to infer the diet of the animals studied. This dataset consists of isotopic signatures (δ13C and δ15N) obtained by isotope ratio mass spectrometry from ...
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 ...
Residents’ Perceptions Regarding the Implementation of a Tourist Tax at a UNESCO World Heritage Site: A Cluster Analysis of Santiago de Compostela (Spain)
(MDPI, 2022-01-25)
[Abstract] Even though the residents’ perceptions on the tourist activity have been thoroughly investigated in the last three decades, there are still few similar studies on destinations that are listed as UNESCOWorld ...
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 ...
Isotopic Signature in Isolated South-Western Populations of European Brown Bear (Ursus Arctos)
(Springer Link, 2022-10-21)
[Abstract] Stable isotope analysis of animal tissue samples is increasingly used to study the trophic ecology of target species. The isotopic signatures respond to the type of diet, but also to the environmental conditions ...
