Rock coasts are one of the most common elements of the world's littoral zone, and they are
often important sources of sediment for estuaries and beaches. Economic development …

There have been considerable advances in rock coast research in the past decade, as
measured in terms of the number of active researchers and in the number of research …

Coastal Geomorphology, Second Edition is a comprehensive and systematic introduction to
this subject and demonstrates the dynamic nature of coastal landforms, providing a …

A mathematical model was used to investigate the development of wave-cut shore platforms
with constant sea level. The model considered the effects of deep water wave height …

Active periglacial processes are currently marginal in the Iberian Peninsula, spatially limited
to the highest mountain ranges. However, a wide variety of periglacial deposits and …

The Schmidt hammer is a relatively cheap, portable, sturdy instrument with proven value

We review research done on environmental changes in northwest (NW) Iberia spanning
from the beginning to the late Holocene (7000–500cal. BC). The type of archives (peat bogs …

The role of rocky coasts as depositional environments has been generally neglected by rock-
and depositional-coast workers. Although rock coasts can be hostile sedimentary …

Analysis of different sediments in NW Spain suggests that a series of abrupt climatic
changes occurred between 3500 and 1000 BC. These involved some episodes of cooling …

The Schmidt Rock Test Hammer was used to study the effect of abrasion on shore platforms
in Galicia, northwestern Spain. On platforms where tidally-induced weathering (salt, wetting …
