TL;DR: The literature on pathogen levels in beach sand, and their potential for affecting human health, is reviewed, to provide specific recommendations for sand sampling programmes and to provide background on spatial distribution and temporal characteristics of microbes in sand.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fog precipitation and rainfall interception in the natural forests of Madeira Island (Portugal)
TL;DR: In this article, throughfall gauges were placed under the canopy of three different types of forest: high altitude tree heath forest (1580 m), secondary tree heaths forest (1385 m), and humid laurisilva forest (1050 m).
Journal ArticleDOI
The emergence of volcanic oceanic islands on a slow‐moving plate: The example of Madeira Island, NE Atlantic
Ricardo S. Ramalho,Ricardo S. Ramalho,António Brum da Silveira,Paulo E. Fonseca,José Madeira,Michael A. Cosca,Mário Cachão,Maria Madalena Calado Santos Sobral da Fonseca,Susana Prada +8 more
TL;DR: The authors examined the geologic record at Madeira using a combination of detailed fieldwork, biostratigraphy, and 40Ar/39Ar geochronology in order to document the mode, timing, and duration of edifice emergence above sea level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Groundwater behaviour in Madeira, volcanic island (Portugal)
TL;DR: Madeira Island is a hot-spot originating from a mantle plume and K-Ar age determinations indicate that the emerged part of the island was generated during Post-Miocene times 6000-7000 years B.P.
Journal ArticleDOI
Using stable isotopes to characterize groundwater recharge sources in the volcanic island of Madeira, Portugal
TL;DR: In this article, stable isotope analysis is used to better understand the hydrogeology of Madeira Island and provide a case-study that can serve as a basis for groundwater studies in other similar settings.
