  • Environmental changes and historical occupation at Oued Laksar (Ksar Seghir), Morocco

    Open AccessAna Maria Costa, Maria Da Conceição Freitas et al.ARTICLEQuaternary International2024

    Laksar is a small river near the village of Ksar Seghir, located between Tangier and Ceuta (Morocco), strategic points to control the Strait of Gibraltar over centuries. The river outlets at the western part of a sandy beach that can block the fluvial discharge in years of low precipitation/river flow. The area is densely occupied since the 5th century BC, during the roman period and Early Middle Age in the archaeological site of Dhar d’Aseqfane,…

  • Holocene sea level and climate interactions on wet dune slack evolution in SW Portugal

    Open AccessManel Leira, Maria Conceição Freitas et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2018Citada por: 1Referências: 16

    We examine the Holocene environmental changes in a wet dune slack of the Portuguese coast, Poço do Barbarroxa de Baixo. Lithology, organic matter, biological proxies and high-resolution chronology provide estimations of sediment accumulation rates and changes in environmental conditions in relation to sea-level change and climate variability during the Holocene. Results show that the wet dune slack was formed 7.5 cal. ka BP, contemporaneous with …

  • Single events and century-scale evolution of the northern margin of the Tagus River before the Boavista landfill

    Open AccessAnna Costa, A M Costa et al.ARTICLEEstudos do Quaternário /…2016

    In this work we present preliminary results of the study of one sediment core (EDP1), collected near Cais do Sodré, Lisbon downtown, close to the present day Tagus riverfront. The results allowed differentiation of 4 major sediment units that present a signature of increasing anthropic influence over time. The lowermost unit (Unit 1) corresponds to a subtidal flat accreting in low energy and brackish conditions. This sedimentation pattern is inte…

  • Modelação geológica do enchimento sedimentar Plisto-Holocénico da paleolaguna da Pederneira

    Open AccessVera Lopes, V P Lopes et al.ARTICLEEstudos do Quaternário /…2014

    A reconstrução paleoambiental das zonas húmidas litorais portuguesas constitui um elemento fundamental para o conhecimento da história evolutiva da zona costeira num passado geológico recente (Quaternário). Com a intenção de contribuir para o melhoramento do modelo de evolução da várzea da Nazaré (paleolaguna da Pederneira) durante o Plistocénico final e o Holocénico, procedeu-se à determinação da geometria e volumetria das unidades constituintes…

  • A tsunami record in the sedimentary archive of the central Algarve coast, Portugal

    Open AccessPedro Costa, Pedro J M Costa et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2012Citada por: 3Referências: 2

    This study describes sedimentation associated with the tsunami generated by the Lisbon earthquake of ad 1755. It is argued here that the tsunami deposited a sand sheet across the Lagoa dos Salgados (central Algarve, Portugal), that is intercalated with late-Holocene estuarine/lagoonal sediments. A wide range of proxies (sedimentological, exoscopic and palaeontological) are used to establish the provenance of the sandy material as well as to const…
