Abstract
A 1:12,000 geomorphological map of Fuentes Carrionas (Northern Spain) is presented. Geomorphological landscapes maps are also shown to support map interpretation and show the area's geomorphological diversity. The maps were developed using the IGUL (Institut de Geographie, Universite de Lausanne) geomorphological mapping legend. This has been adapted to GIS scheme in order to use the map as a basis for further work. The IGUL legend has been demonstrated to be highly effective for mountain environments where the main morphogenetical agents are dynamic and climatic processes.

Quaternary glacial history of the Cantabrian Mountains of northern Spain: a new synthesis

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a first reconstruction of the glacial evolution of the Cantabrian Mountains using radiometric and morphostratigraphical data, showing that five glacial phases can be distinguished, four belonging to the last Pleistocene glacial cycle and one historical in the Little Ice Age.

Glacial chronology, environmental changes and implications for human occupation during the upper Pleistocene in the eastern Cantabrian Mountains

TL;DR: In this article, the authors established glacial evolution in the eastern Cantabrian Mountains related to environmental changes and climatic evolution during the MIS3 and MIS2 and human occupation including the Neanderthals' demise.
