A detailed snow avalanche susceptibility map of the eastern hillside in the Aramo Range (Cantabrian Mountains) is presented at a scale of 1:25,000. The Aramo Range is one of the major middle-altitude mountains of the Asturian Central Massif. Although it has of moderate height (maximum altitude of 1791 m a.s.l.), its eastern slope presents unusual snow avalanche activity. Specifically, a hundred of snow avalanche tracks have been mapped based on meticulous fieldwork and supported by interviews with local people, searches in newspaper archives, photointerpretation, and calculations based on the digital terrain model and geographic information system. As a result, a susceptibility map has been elaborated, which shows the suitability of combining fieldwork and geographic information technology. The composition consists of two maps that detail how the susceptibility mapping is obtained. The section analysed is limited to the eastern slope of the Aramo Range, whose total surface area is 1555.62 ha.
Se efectúa una valoración del patrimonio geomorfológico del Parque Natural de Arribes del Duero, concretamente, en un sector de la comarca zamorana del Bajo Sayago que tiene una extensión de unas 6.000 ha, a partir de la aplicación de varios métodos relacionados con el análisis de Lugares de Interés Geomorfológico (LIGm) en espacios naturales protegidos. Como resultado se han identificado nueve geomorfositios de los cuales tres, esto es, Peña Gazón y valle de Peña la Galga, Las Barrancas y finalmente Cerro de San Miguel, alcanzan una valoración global sobresaliente. A partir de la evaluación de los valores científicos, culturales y de uso y gestión de cada LIGm se establecen propuestas orientadas a su gestión, que pasan mayoritariamente por la interpretación del patrimonio geomorfológico enfocado al aprovechamiento geoturístico y educativo. La buena accesibilidad, el excelente estado de conservación y el escaso riesgo de degradación convierten dichos Lugares de Interés Geomorfológico en recursos patrimoniales útiles para el desarrollo local sostenible.
A detailed geomorphological map of the Campo de Calatrava Volcanic Field (CCVF) is presented at a scale of 1:50,000. The Campo de Calatrava, located on the southeastern edge of the Hercynian Massif, is one of the most unusual volcanic areas of the Iberian Peninsula. The volcanic activity develops chronologically from Upper Miocene to Holocene, with a wide range of styles and eruptive dynamics that have created a variety of forms and types of volcanoes, the abundance of maars being outstanding. Thus, this map represents both the landforms of volcanic origin and the interferences that volcanic activity has caused in other processes and forms, offering the reader the key to understanding the origin and fundamental features of the landscape of the territory. Also shown is the crucial role geomorphological mapping can play as a basic tool in the conservation of natural heritage and in territorial planning. The mapping system applied is the French CNRS RCP 77, although various local adaptations have been incorporated. The map legend consists of 80 elements arranged in 10 sections, in which a wide variety of morphostructures, forms and deposits produced under various types of both relict and active morphogenetic systems are identified.
El Saladar de Bristol tiene valores naturales y paisajísticos de interés científico, educativo, turístico y, por ende, económico. Es de especial relevancia su patrimonio vegetal con una asociación vegetal única en Fuerteventura, Sarcocornietum perennis, y especies catalogadas por su singularidad para Canarias. Sin embargo, sufre una intensa degradación por la presión urbanística (Corralejo) y las amenazas generales que pesan sobre los humedales y zonas litorales turísticas. Por esta razón, se analizan y cartografían sus comunidades vegetales y se proponen medidas para una adecuada conservación y gestión ambiental.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
