Oscilaciones del nivel del mar de largo y corto plazo: indicadores morfosedimentarios en zonas costeras

Abstract

Sampling for dating coastal units anci quantdying processes 15 ollly possible and rewarding after detailed mapping and morphosedimentary analysis. The study of Last and Present Interglacial deposits in the Iberian Peninsula reveals that there are short-term sea-level oscillations superimposed to longerterm periodicities. Although short-term periodicities, as those observed in spit-bar units, are vital for coastal management, longer-term changes should not be discarded.
