Detailed information on coastal storm impacts is crucial to evaluate the degree of physical and economic damage caused by floods, implement effective recovery actions for risk prevention and preparedness, and design appropriate coastal zone management plans. This article presents a new database containing information on extreme storm events that ge...
This work presents the approach used to estimate coastal flood impact, developed within the EU H2020 European Coastal Flood Awareness System (ECFAS) project, for assessing flood direct impacts on population, buildings, and roads along European coasts. The methodology integrates object-based and probabilistic evaluations to provide uncertainty estim...
El presente trabajo analiza la influencia de la presión antrópica en la evolución de la flecha de Palmones, situada en el interior de la Bahía de Algeciras. Para ello se han analizado los cambios a medio plazo a través de un estudio de fotografía aérea, y a corto plazo a través de un seguimiento topográfico consistente en la realización de perfiles...
En este trabajo se analizan los cambios recientes registrados en la playa de Sotogrande, situada en una flecha arenosa en la desembocadura del río Guadiaro, en el litoral mediterráneo de la provincia de Cádiz. A partir del estudio de fotografías aéreas (1956-2022) y de un seguimiento topográfico de campo (2015-2019) se ha cuantificado la fuerte ten...
Este estudio analiza la respuesta de la playa de Doñana después del temporal Emma, utilizando levantamientos topográficos desde 2018 hasta 2021 a lo largo de la playa del P.N. de Doñana. Se registró una recuperación generalizada a lo largo de la playa tanto en términos de volumen de arena como en términos de aumento de la pendiente. Esta recuperaci...
There is a relative lack of research, targeted models and tools to manage beaches in estuaries and bays (BEBs). Many estuaries and bays have been highly modified and urbanised, for example port developments and coastal revetments. This paper outlines the complications and opportunities for conserving and managing BEBs in modified estuaries. To do t...
The present study investigates different combinations and methods for estimating the extreme Total Water Level (TWL) and its implications for predicting flood extension caused by coastal storms. This study analyses various TWL components and approaches and assesses how different methodologies alter flood predictions, with implications for warning s...
The 10th International Symposium Monitoring of Mediterranean Coastal Areas: problems and measurements techniques was organized by CNR-IBE in collaboration with Italian Society of Silviculture and Forest Ecology , and Natural History Museum of the Mediterranean and under the patronage of University of Florence, University of Catania, Accademia dei L...

This article presents a new database containing information on extreme storm events that generated damage...
La decimotercera edición del Geolodía en la provincia de Cádiz se centra en el islote de Sancti Petri y su entorno, donde el patrimonio geológico, histórico y natural se unen para dar lugar a uno de los principales hitos paisajísticos del Parque Natural Bahía de Cádiz. Durante la jornada, que se desarrollará en el citado islote, previo desplazamien...
Over recent years, processes related to marine storms, sediment shortages and human intervention have caused the global retreat of many coastal systems and the degradation of their dunes. In this context, changes in the dune toe are commonly used as a proxy to study the interannual shoreline evolution, and it is usually analyzed using orthophotogra...
The definition of the shoreline position from satellite imagery is of great interest among coastal monitoring techniques. Understanding the reality mapped by the resulting shorelines and defining their accuracy is of paramount importance. The assessment described in this paper constitutes a validation of the shorelines obtained by using the novel t...
The accuracy and robustness of the shoreline definition from satellite imagery on different coastal types are crucial to adequately characterising beach morphology and dynamics. However, the generic and widespread application of satellite-derived shoreline algorithms is limited by the lack of robust methods and parameter assessments. This work cons...

Coastal flooding is recognized as one of the most devastating natural disasters, resulting in significant economic losses. Therefore, hazard assessment is crucial to support preparedness and response to such disasters. Toward this, flood map databases and catalogues are essential for the analysis of flood scenarios, and furthermore they can be inte...

Beach behaviour and evolution are controlled by a large number of factors, being susceptible to human-derived pressures and the impacts of climate change. In order to understand beach behaviour at different scales, systematic monitoring programs that assess shoreline and volumetric changes are required. Video-monitoring systems are widely used in t...
During the last decades many salt marshes worldwide have suffered important losses in their extent and associated ecosystem services. The salt marshes of San Vicente de la Barquera estuary (N Spain) are a clear example of this, with a drastic reduction in vegetation surface over the last 60 years. This paper provides insights into the main factors...
Coastal storms constitute a key factor controlling shoreline position changes. They may deeply modify the beach morphology and contribute to erosive processes. Earth observation data as the images from the Sentinel satellites of ESA's Copernicus program and the Copernicus Contributing Missions offer potential information for characterizing beach ch...
The short-term site fidelity of intertidal fish species was studied in a rocky intertidal zone in southern Portugal using visible implant elastomer tagging. Eleven fish species were caught, tagged and released, seven of which were recaptured. The larger tide pool with the highest complexity level and located at a lower position in the shore level d...
Measuring the nearshore bathymetry is critical in coastal management and morphodynamic studies. The recent advent of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), in combination with coastal video monitoring techniques, allows for an alternative and low cost evaluation of the nearshore bathymetry. Camera calibration and stabilization is a critical issue in bath...
Montes, J.; Benavente, J.; Silva, R.; Plomaritis, T.A., and Del Río, L., 2020. Simplified method for the identification of erosion and flooding hazard hotspots on sandy beaches. In: Malvárez, G. and Navas, F. (eds.), Global Coastal Issues of 2020. Journal of Coastal Research, Special Issue No. 95, pp. 1206–1210. Coconut Creek (Florida), ISSN 0749-0...
The coast of Cadiz province (SW Spain) constitutes a complex system with a wide variety of hydrodynamic and geological-geomorphological conditions. Morphodynamic behaviour of beaches in this area shows more dissipative states in the Atlantic coast and more reflective states in the Mediterranean coast. Recent shoreline trends indicate a relatively s...
This chapter examines the origin, evolution and present state of the coastal dunes along the South Atlantic Spanish coast around the Strait of Gibraltar. Wind regime in the zone is strongly affected by the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). Low or negative NAO index values give rise to the prevalence of westerly humid winds, while during periods wit...
In this study a video-monitoring system was used to analyze the presence of mesoforms during a time period of five years in the urban beach of La Victoria, Cádiz, Spain. This technique allowed the generation of plan views using an improved version of ULISES software. The presence and spatiotemporal variability of the most common mesoforms, such as...
