Shoreline change patterns in sandy coasts. A case study in SW Spain

TL;DR: In this paper, the decadal behaviour of 58 sandy beaches along the 150 km long South-Atlantic coast of Spain, between the Guadalquivir river mouth and the Strait of Gibraltar, is analyzed in order to investigate the relationships between shoreline change patterns and the diverse morphological and dynamic factors controlling beach evolution in the area.
Journal ArticleDOI

Coastal flooding hazard related to storms and coastal evolution in Valdelagrana spit (Cadiz Bay Natural Park, SW Spain)

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an evaluation of storm flooding hazard in Valdelagrana spit and marshes (SW Spain), considering two types of storm that are characteristic of the area.
Journal ArticleDOI

Establishing storm thresholds for the spanish gulf of Cádiz coast

TL;DR: In this paper, critical thresholds for storm impacts along the Spanish coast of the Gulf of Cadiz were defined by computing theoretical sea-level variations during storms and comparing them with the topography of the study area and the location of infrastructure at a local level.
Journal ArticleDOI

Empirical model of morphodynamic beachface behaviour for low-energy mesotidal environments

TL;DR: In this paper, a two-dimensional study of beach morphological variations has been made, related to the incident wave variations, based on four years of monthly monitoring were carried out on a South Atlantic beach in Spain, in a low energy mesotidal environment where beaches change slowly, from reflective to dissipative states, following a typical seasonal behaviour.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessment of urban and industrial contamination levels in the bay of Cádiz, SW Spain

TL;DR: The results obtained as a consequence of the specific agreement between the Environmental Agency and the University of Cadiz to assess the environmental condition of the marine bottom and waters showed that sediments and waters analysed were moderately contaminated and no great differences were found between in rising and ebbing tide conditions.
