To What Extent Are the Type Localities of Minerals Part of Geological Heritage? A Global Review and the Case of Spain as an Example Open
Currently, approximately 6000 mineral species have been identified, and every year, approximately 100 more are discovered. The discovery of a new mineral has a close relationship with geological heritage. It involves the definition of both…

Monitoring snow depth by Integrating in an optimal way citizen science and other techniques Open
The snow depth (SD) is an excellent indicator of climate, yet a poorly monitored variable in many mountain ranges. A novel integrated approach is proposed for optimal monitoring of SD dynamics in the 5 National Parks located in Alpine (NPA…

Surface Mechanical Effects of Wildfires on Rocks in Climbing Areas Open
Wildfires are widely recognized as a cause of mechanical damage to rocks. Nevertheless, previous research has neglected how wildfires might impact sport climbing areas. In Spain, two large wildfires affected two climbing areas between 2020…

Fluvial stream dynamics and morphology on Byers Peninsula (Livingston Island, Antarctic Peninsula region): a model of landscape evolution in deglaciated areas Open
<p>Surface fluvial systems are very scarce in Antarctica and they are located in ice-free areas linked to deglaciation processes. In areas with recent deglaciation, the fluvial network development is connected with glacial retreat as…
