Arid transgressive coastal dune fields experience significant changes over short time
periods. They are ideal systems to analyze environmental changes induced by human …

Rapid urban development has been widespread in many arid regions of the world during
the Anthropocene. Such development has the potential to affect, and be affected by, local …

Coastal areas have been under pressure throughout history. Today these environments are
occupied by a large portion of the world population and are dramatically affected by human …

Foredunes are formed by aeolian sand deposition in vegetation on the backshore of
beaches. In this paper, the foredune mode (nebkha, discontinuous foredune, and …

The impacts of urbanised zones on aeolian dynamics are little understood, particularly
within arid areas. This study examines the large-scale influence of a growing tourist resort in …

Geomorphological changes in recent decades in an arid transgressive coastal dune system
(Maspalomas, Gran Canaria, Canary Islands) are analyzed. The methodology used is based …

This study is the first to simultaneously compare flow and sediment transport through a
blowout and over an adjacent foredune, and the first study of flow within a highly sinuous …

The reconstruction of environmental conditions allows us to categorize an area before it has
suffered disturbances or even completely disappeared. The aim of this study is to gain …

The paper focuses on the mid-term shoreline evolution and recent short-term shoreline
trends of five sandy beaches located along the southeastern coast of Gran Canaria. Using …

Se analizan las transformaciones experimentadas en las últimas décadas por la duna
costera (foredune) de Maspalomas, un proceso que coincide con el descenso de las …
