In this research, a methodology for the analysis of accessibility conditions for people with
physical disabilities was developed. The analysis is based on an assessment of the …

This study examines the mode of foredune development along~ 3,500 km of the west African
and the Canary Islands coasts. Foredune modes are classified into either continuous and …

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 …

This study examines the role of sediment supply in controlling the formation and the spatial
patterns of nebkha, numbers and sizes, present in foredunes fronting coastal dunefields of …

The coastal areas of the Canary Islands are particularly sensitive to changes, both from a
natural perspective and for their potential socio-economic implications. In this paper, the …

Rapid urban development has been widespread in many arid regions of the world during
the Anthropocene. Such development has the potential to affect, and be affected by, local …

Coastal areas are exposed to high levels of human occupation, which has led to their
degradation. Coastal dunes have been greatly altered by different historical and current land …

Coastal areas worldwide are undergoing major changes and degradation due to a set of
combined natural and anthropogenic stressors. In arid aeolian sedimentary systems these …

In this study, an arid dune vulnerability index (ADVI) is developed using a system of
indicators to evaluate the geomorphological vulnerability of beach-dune systems of arid …

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 …
