Kaolinitic paleosols in the south west of the IberianPeninsula (Sierra Morena region, Spain). Paleoenvironmental implications
This paper studies the physical and chemical characteristics of 8 different soil profiles with paleohorizons rich in kaolinites and developed on different lithologies along the southern border of the Hercynian Iberianpeninsula (Sierre Morena region
Climatic change on the IberianPeninsula recorded in a 30 000 yr pollen record from Lake Banyoles
The Banyoles lacustrine sequence shows that the vegetational history of the northeastern IberianPeninsula during the last 30 000 yr follows the North Atlantic pattern of climatic oscillations. This high-resolution record contains well-preserved
Granite caves in the north-east of the IberianPeninsula: Artificial hypogea versus tafoni
The origin of eight supposedly artificial caves in granite rocks located in the north-east of the IberianPeninsula is revised in this work. Although human features are present in four of the caves, they have little morphological significance
Assessing regional geodiversity : the IberianPeninsula
Classification ; Digital elevation model ; Europe ; Geodiversity ; Geographical information system ; Geomorphology ; IberianPeninsula ; Index ; Landscape ; Landscape analysis ; Portugal ; Regional geology ; Spain ; Spatial analysis ; Tectonics
The AA. quantify and compare geodiversity in several geodynamic zones of the IberianPeninsula. They have developed a geographic information system (GIS) procedure to carry out a regional terrain classification based on geodiversity factors
), which was then applied to calculate diversity landscape indices. These indices were calculated for the whole landscape of the main Iberian geological regions, thus revealing a close relationship between some index values and the geological
Atmospheric circulation ; Climatic trend ; Europe ; IberianPeninsula ; Mountain ; Portugal ; Spain ; Temperature ; Time series
The aims of this contribution are to highlight significant trends in temperatures series of several mountains stations of the IberianPeninsula and to compare those trends with the evolution of some nearby low-altitude stations. Finally, we analyze
Termination of the last glaciation in the Iberianpeninsula inferred from the pollen sequence of Quintanar de la Sierra
This paper presents a high-resolution, radiocarbon dated, late-glacial pollen record and an inferred paleoclimatic reconstruction from the site of Quintanar de la Sierra, in the Iberian cordillera of north-central Spain. The strong affinity
