Evolución ambiental de los estuarios del Geoparque de la costa Vasca durante el Holoceno y el Antropoceno

Abstract

In order to reconstruct the environmental evolution of the estuaries in the Basque Coast Geopark at different temporal scales (millennial, centennial, decadal), different long and short cores and surface samples were retrieved and studied. Their multiproxy analysis (metals, foraminifera, pollen and radioisotopes) shows their temporal transformation in response to regional sea-level variations and, more recently, an evident local human imprint corresponding to the industrial development of the area.
