The present study identifies the staircase development of shore platforms at Montedor - Viana do Castelo, using the data obtained by the method of Communicating Vessels and GPS. It was found that both devices provide identical results and operation time. There were identified four different shore platforms above the actual (0,4/1,8 meters), at 2,8/3,4 - 4,5/5,5 - 6,6/7,4 and 8,5/9,2 meters. A tectono-eustatic o...

An integrated multidisciplinary approach will be adopted in order to carry out a broad characterisation of the groundwater in the Porto urban area and Serra da Estrela mountain region (Iberian Massif, Northern and Central Portugal). Such an approach will contribute to improve groundwater management and protection, under the sustainability framework. Research will include the following main tasks: a) presentatio...

This one is generally covered with several outcrops of the so-called Plio-Pleistocene deposits. Till the eighties this platform has been interpr...
