The recently entry into force of the revision of the Spanish Hydraulic Public Domain Regulation (RDPH) includes several references to geomorphological features such as criteria for delimiting certain elements defined within the Hydraulic Public Domain, such as the natural channel or flood prone areas, and the possibility of augmenting the “restrain...

Flood mapping requires the combination and integration of geomorphological and hydrological-hydraulic methods; however, despite this, there is very little scientific literature that compares and validates both methods. Two types of analysis are addressed in the present article. On the one hand, maps of flood plains have been elaborated using geomor...

We propose a methodology to determine critical areas for brown bear (Ursus arctos) in the Cantabrian Mountains (Spain), considered as shelter areas in which there are concentrations of winter dens and groups of resting sites. We assessed a function which enabled a precise spatial distribution model to be constructed. This function helps to explain...

Using multiple linear regression and Geographic Information System techniques, we modelled the spatial distribution of mean monthly precipitation for the seasonal and annual periods in a mountainous region of 10,590 km2, located in the central area of the Cantabrian Coast, Spain. We used precipitation data measured at 117 stations for the period 19...
