Formation and Evolution of Back-Barrier Perched Lakes in Rocky Coasts: An Example of a Holocene System in North-West Spain
Sáez, Alberto; Carballeira, Rafael; Pueyo Mur, Juan José; Vázquez-Loureiro, David; Leira, Manel; Hernández, Armand; Valero Garcés, Blas; Bao, Roberto (Wiley, 2018-09-22)[Abstract] Coastal back-barrier perched lakes are freshwater bodies that are elevated over sea-level and are not directly subjected to the inflow of seawater. This study provides a detailed reconstruction of the Doniños ... -
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 ... -
Stratification Strength and Light Climate Explain Variation in Chlorophyll 𝑎 at the Continental Scale in a European Multilake Survey in a Heatwave Summer
Donis, Daphne; Leira, Manel; García, David; Carballeira, Rafael (Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography, 2021-10-30)[Abstract] To determine the drivers of phytoplankton biomass, we collected standardized morphometric, physical, and biological data in 230 lakes across the Mediterranean, Continental, and Boreal climatic zones of the ... -
The Role of Climate, Marine Influence and Sedimentation Rates in Late-Holocene Estuarine Evolution (SW Portugal)
Costa, Ana; Freitas, Maria da Conceição; Leira, Manel; Costas, Susana; Costa, Pedro J. M.; Andrade, C.; Bao, Roberto; Duarte, João; Rodrigues, Aurora; Cachão, M.; Araújo, Ana Cristina; Diniz, Mariana; Arias, Pablo (Sage, 2019)[Abstract] Estuaries are sensitive to changes in global to regional sea level, to climate-driven variation in rainfall and to fluvial discharge. In this study, we use source and environmentally sensitive proxies together ... -
The Timing of the Deglaciation in the Atlantic Iberian Mountains: Insights From the Stratigraphic Analysis of a Lake Sequence in Serra Da Estrela (Portugal)
Hernández, Armand; Sáez, Alberto; Santos, Ricardo N.; Rodrigues, Teresa; Martín-Puertas, Celia; Gil-Romera, Graciela; Abbott, Mark; Carballeira, Rafael; Costa, Pedro J. M.; Giralt, Santiago; Gomes, Sandra D.; Griffore, Melissa; Ibáñez-Insa, Jordi; Leira, Manel; Moreno, João; Naughton, Filipa; Oliveira, Dulce; Raposeiro, Pedro M.; Trigo, Ricardo M.; Vieira, Gonçalo; Ramos, Alexandre M. (Wiley, 2023-02-07)[Abstract] Understanding the environmental response to the last glacial termination in regions located in transitional climate zones such as the Atlantic Iberian mountains is crucial to estimate potential changes in regions ...
