Enhancing monitoring in protected areas
Crowdsourced data, such as that from mobile fitness apps (MFAs), has the potential to transform tourism research. This opportunity is particularly valuable as tourism to protected areas (PAs) increases, making it more difficult to manage their environmental impacts. However, such data sources come with challenges. Therefore, their representativeness should be carefully evaluated, particularly as their use continues to grow. We use the Paiva Walkw…
Late Pleistocene Low-Altitude Atlantic Palaeoglaciation and Palaeo-ELA Modelling
Low-altitude palaeoglaciation in Atlantic mountain regions provides important insights into past climatic conditions and moisture dynamics during the Last Glacial Cycle. This study presents the first quantitative reconstruction of palaeoglaciers in Serra da Cabreira (northwest Portugal), a mid-altitude granite massif located along the Atlantic fringe of the Iberian Peninsula. Detailed geomorphological mapping (1:14,000) and field surveys identifi…
Using GPS tracking data from mobile fitness apps to understand user behaviour in protected areas
Protected areas are important environmental conservation sites, but their sustainability depends on effective management to mitigate the negative impacts of nature-based tourism. Data from Mobile fitness apps (MFAs) provide researchers and stakeholders with detailed spatiotemporal information regarding visitor movements, thereby facilitating a comprehensive understanding of visitor behaviour, the implementation of effective monitoring strategies,…
Plio-Quaternary coastal uplift along the western Iberian Margin
This study presents a detailed geomorphological and geochronological analysis of a marine terrace staircase developed into the Peniche Peninsula (Portugal), a rocky headland of Jurassic carbonate bedrock located in the central sector of the Western Iberian passive margin. The marine terrace levels are described morphologically and sedimentologically, but also dated using ESR and U-Series methodologies. The marine terrace staircase comprises six e…

Recreational use of protected areas
Managing the rising number of visitors to protected areas (PAs) without compromising their environmental goals is a critical challenge that requires a complete understanding of how and when visitors use these spaces. Georeferenced data from fitness-tracking apps can provide detailed information about the visitor’s spatiotemporal behaviour inside PAs, but its potential is still underexplored. This study uses georeferenced data, from Wikiloc, to an…
A Indústria Lítica Da Zona Industrial De Bouro (Gandra, Esposende, Nw De Portugal) – Contributo Para O Estudo Do Acheulense Do Minho Litoral
O acompanhamento arqueológico realizado no âmbito da construção de um pavilhão industrial, no lugar de Bouro, Esposende (NW de Portugal), permitiu a recolha de mais de duas centenas de artefactos líticos talhados, produzidos a partir de seixos rolados de quartzito. O conjunto mais significativo, com utensílios que remetem para o tecno-complexo Acheulense (bifaces e unifaces), associa-se a um terraço marinho implantado a 15-20 m n.m.m. Tendo como …
Avaliação Das Consequências Do Galgamento Costeiro De 10/11 De Dezembro De 2013 Na Frente Urbana Do Conce-Lho De Santa Cruz, Ilha Da Madeira
The expansion and consolidation of urban areas along the coast lead to the exposure of a large number of anthropic elements to sea storm events. It is with the aim of identifying and classifying the consequences of coastal overtopping that we analyse the recent storm surge of 10/11 December of 2013 which affected the urban coastal fringe of the city of Santa Cruz, on the south coast of Madeira Island. Therefore, the atmospheric conditions of wind…
El yacimiento achelense de as Gándaras de Budiño
El yacimiento paleolítico de As Gándaras de Budiño es un yacimiento clave en la Prehistoria antigua de la Península Ibérica. Aunque el yacimiento ha sido excavado en diferentes ocasiones, muchos de los aspectos geológicos y arqueológicos no son bien conocidos. Entre estos problemas está la cronología, que inicialmente fue atribuida al MIS 2 -originando una fuerte controversia-, aunque en la actualidad podemos afirmar que tiene una cronología del …
Os artefactos líticos talhados do litoral de Vila Nova de Gaia
O litoral de Vila Nova de Gaia, a sul da cidade do Porto, constitui um trecho geoarqueológico ímpar para o estudo da ocupação quaternária da fachada ocidental da Ibéria. Neste trabalho apresentam-se algumas características tecno-tipológicas das indústrias líticas do litoral de Vila Nova de Gaia e avançam-se hipóteses sobre os respetivos contextos cronoestratigráficos, litoestratigrágicos e geoarqueológicos. De acordo com observações mais ou menos…

Morfologia e cobertura detrítica da Plataforma Litoral na área de Albergaria-a-Velha (Distrito de Aveiro)
A plataforma litoral na área de Albergaria-a-Velha revela características morfológicas curiosas: as notórias superfícies aplanadas extensas e regulares contrastam vincadamente, com as vertentes íngremes e rigidamente orientadas dos sectores deprimidos que a seccionam meridianamente. Para além dos contrastes morfológicos também se encontram vários tipos de cobertura sedimentar que correspondem a diferentes episódios de deposição, balizados pela in…
