Anàlisis, caracterització i dinàmica de les formes erosives Blowout en sistemes dunars de Mallorca i Menorca (Illes Balears)

Abstract

Conservation state of coastal dune systems has an important role as for the social and economic interests of places that, such as Balearic Islands, most of their economic activity develops over coastal areas. In this sense it is important enhance the knowledge about the mechanisms that determine the conservation state of these environments, as well as of those that can induce their erosion patterns. This thesis has as a main purpose determine the conservation state of some dune systems from Mallorca and Menorca (Balearic Islands) through the characterization of the blowouts existing along the first line of dunes. Moreover it aims increase the knowledge about the aeolian and sedimentary dynamics on these environments under different energy intensities to be able to determine which are the patterns of sediment transport from the beach to the innermost of the dune complex.
