TL;DR: In this paper, an effort has been made to assemble a data set on the evolution of coastal morphology of the West Iberian Continental Margin in Portugal, which has occurred since the Last Glacial Maximum.

TL;DR: In this article, the distributions of clay mineral in the top layer of the sedimentary cover are shown to be related to their continental sources, but also reflect the influences of winter storms and longshore currents in determining the pathways of sediment transport.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the mechanisms controlling the deposition of the fine-grained sediment depositions and the processes that result in resuspension processes on the Galicia-Minho Shelf.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors estimate the amount of suspended particulate matter being discharged annually from the Tagus estuary to be between 0.4 and 1×10 6 t.

TL;DR: In this paper, a conceptual model was proposed to delineate the mechanisms acting in this particular area, taking into account three different sources of material to the Nazare canyon: 1. upwelling conditions, resuspension of middle shelf deposits by internal wave activity and transport to the canyon in the BNL; 2.erosion of northern/southern beach and sea cliff materials transported by littoral drift to the Canyon head and 3. fine sediment input from the southern river and transport during downwelling condition (winter).
