TL;DR: The influence of environmental parameters on the living benthic foraminiferal assemblages was studied and a most sensitive group of species to higher concentrations of heavy metals is identified, a widespread condition in this lagoon.

TL;DR: The analysis of over seven hundred samples of sediments have made it possible to define a detailed distribution of seabed surface sediment properties like grain size, carbonate and organic matter content of the rias of Vigo, Pontevedra and Arousa (NW Spain).

TL;DR: The low-field magnetic susceptibility ( χ ) of surficial sediments from the Ria de Pontevedra (NW Spain) shows a characteristic, hydrodynamically driven textural control, where diamagnetic sandy bioclastic carbonates occur toward the coastline, leaving the finer muddy sediments to be deposited in the central and deeper areas of the ria as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the petrological characterization and sedimentological evolution of a beachrock that was exhumed during an exceptional storm in the winter of 2001 in the intertidal zone of a high-energy beach.

TL;DR: In this paper, a morphological model capable of predicting the beach profile behavior under different wave and tide conditions is proposed based on the concept of the two-section equilibrium beach profile, and has been validated with field and laboratory data.
