This paper analyses some aspects of the genesis of xeralfs in southern Spain (Andalusia), using: a) micromorphological and mineralogical features, b) numerical estimators of evolution based on morphological, analytical and mineralogical features
Classification ; Commercial harbour ; Harbour ; Harbour traffic ; Port infrastructure ; Spain ; Transport
The hierarchy of Spanish ports is very heterogeneous and the traffic generated is very low compared with other European countries. The main reasons are Spain's lower rate of economic development, the lower population density and the absence
Political geography around the world IX : Academic geography in Spain and Franco's regime, 1936-55
Geographic school ; Geopolitics ; History of geography ; Ideology ; Lobby;Pressure group ; Political geography ; Spain
Contemporary academic Geography in Spain begins in the 1940s with the educative reform carried out by Franco's regime. However, this geography dit not present any Fascist trend; for instance, German geo-politico did not achieve any relevance
The evolution of potholes in granite bedrock, W Spain

Spectacular bed forms, eroded by flood flows, are a feature of the bare rock terraces and channels of some rivers cut into granitic rock in the districts of Salamanca, Cáceres and Badajoz, W Spain. The bed forms comprise a range of pothole types
Soils, regoliths and their parent materials were investigated in relation to the developement of badlands (in the Pre-Pyrenees, in NE Spain) on Late Cretaceous mudrocks under a mountain Mediterranean Climate.
In order to evaluate the soil loss in a burnt forest and the role played by slope orientation in erosion, a study has been carried out in the Montserrat area (NE Spain) affected by a fire in summer 1986.
Microscopic study of twelve weathering profiles developed on granitic rocks in Galicia (NW Spain) showed that, in most cases, the transformation of the parent rock into saprolite occurs with pseudomorphic alteration of the plagioclases
In this paper the question of chronological and genetical relationship between the terrestrial erosion and accumulation processes caused by the late Pliocene uplift of the Vera basin and the Raña and glacis formations known from central Spain
This article examines the geographical mobility and potential wage gain of immigrants within Spain. First, it studies the determinants of such a mobility and, second, analyses estimates of an individual's opportunity wage as a mover or a stayer
In this work, 3 approaches are used to interpret climatic and environmental changes since the Pliocene in Spain : a study of species richness of 2 subfamilies of rodents (Murinae and Arvicolinae), an analysis of a faunal sequence with the cenogram
The magnetobiostratigraphy study of the 130-m-thick Zújar section (Negratín clays unit, Guadix-Baza Basin, Spain) provides a remarkable opportunity to improve the correlation of European mammal biostratigraphy to the Geomagnetic Polarity Time Scale
The data from the Zújar section (Guadix-Baza Basin, southeastern Spain) provides a biostratigraphic, magnetostratigraphic, and cyclostratigraphic framework for studying the evolution of the Pliocene terrestrial ecosystems in the western
Shore platform abrasion in a para-periglacial environment, Galicia, northwestern Spain

This paper uses surface rock hardness variations to identify present and past abrasional activity on shore platforms in northwestern Spain, and to show how spatial and temporal in abrasion efficacy have resulted from the exhumation and inheritance
This paper is a combined study on the medium and short-term evolution of the littoral between Chipiona and Rota (SW Spain). The analysis of coastal evolution over a period of 24 years was carried out using 6, well temporally spaced, photogrammetric
This paper examines talus flatiron sequences, mainly in relation to the global morphogenetic influence of Upper Pleistocene-Holocene cold events. These triangular slope facets in central and northern Spain are the only dated ones known to the AA.
The Upper Nalón River Basin (Cantabrian Mountains, NW Spain) exhibits a variety of slope processes and deposits including landslides, rockfall and soil creep. Geomorphic maps were used to quanitatively ascertain the relationships between
