Arid transgressive coastal dune fields experience significant changes over short time
periods. They are ideal systems to analyze environmental changes induced by human …

Aeolian sedimentary systems in the Canary Islands differ from other European and African
systems due to climate, vegetation and isolation. In turn, they experience high human …

The research hypothesis considered in this study is that decisions adopted on beach use
and management in arid environments can result in significant changes in the …

Urban and tourist developments can have long-lasting impacts on coastal environments and
fundamentally alter the evolution of coastal dune systems. This is the case of the …

The main objective of this study was to determine the nature and relative importance of
environmental factors that shape the distribution of dune vegetation in the Maspalomas …

The impacts of urbanised zones on aeolian dynamics are little understood, particularly
within arid areas. This study examines the large-scale influence of a growing tourist resort in …

A system of indicators has been developed to evaluate beach geomorphological
vulnerability (GVI) through: intrinsic susceptibility, the agents that model them, and their …

Foredunes in arid zones have been little studied, being significantly different than tropical
and temperate foredunes. In the case of the foredune of the arid Canary Islands' dune …

The impact of ecological light pollution involves alteration of periods of natural light, a fact
that has proven effects on ecosystems. Few studies have focused on the impact of this …

The aeolian sedimentary systems of the Canary Islands have certain natural and socio-
economic characteristics that make them differentiated environments, both in the context of …
