Presence of boulders associated with an extreme wave event in the western Mediterranean (Cape Cope, Murcia, Spain): Possible evidence of a tsunami (2023)
Journal Article

The region of Murcia, in the southeast of the Iberian Peninsula, experiences moderate tectonic activity, with earthquakes of up to 6.2–6.9 Mw recorded. Even with seismic activity of this scale there is no geological or instrumental record of tsunamis...

An extreme wave event in eastern Yucatán, Mexico: Evidence of a paleotsunami event during the Mayan times (2017)
Journal Article

The Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico, has typically been considered a tectonically stable region without significant seismic activity, in contrast, the region is one that is regularly affected by hurricanes. A detailed survey of ca. 100 km of the eastern Yu... Read More about An extreme wave event in eastern Yucatán, Mexico: Evidence of a paleotsunami event during the Mayan times.

Extreme wave events in the southeastern Iberia coast: Blocks and megablocks as an indicator of tsunamis or extreme storms (2017)
Journal Article

Whilst the SW coast of the Iberian Peninsula has a significant record of extreme wave events (EWE), mostly associated with tsunamis, the Mediterranean coast offers a smaller record of these events, although some historical tsunamis with limited impac...

Evolution of the pollution in the Piedras River Natural Site (Gulf of Cadiz, southern Spain) during the Holocene (2016)
Journal Article

© 2016, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. The Piedras River marshland and El Rompido spit bar is a Natural Site in close proximity to two of the most polluted rivers in the world: the Tinto and Odiel Rivers. The aim of this study is to determine the... Read More about Evolution of the pollution in the Piedras River Natural Site (Gulf of Cadiz, southern Spain) during the Holocene.

Devensian Late-glacial environmental change in the Gordano Valley, North Somerset, England: A rare archive for southwest Britain (2008)
Journal Article

The Late-glacial and Holocene environmental history of the Gordano Valley, North Somerset, UK has been reconstructed using pollen, sediment particle size and mineralogical analyses and radiocarbon dating. A Devensian sediment ridge across the valley... Read More about Devensian Late-glacial environmental change in the Gordano Valley, North Somerset, England: A rare archive for southwest Britain.

Particle size characterisation of Holocene back-barrier sequences from North Atlantic coasts (SW Spain and SE England) (2002)
Journal Article

In this paper, we present the results of bivariate plots of grain size parameters (mean against sorting) in the reconstruction of Holocene environmental change in coastal environments where barrier formation has had an important control on sedimentat...
