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...
The results of a preliminary hydrogeological study of the river Zêzere catchment upstream of Manteigas (Serra da Estrela Natural Park, Central Portugal) are presented. In this mountain region, different types of groundwater and surface water (used in several economic activities) occur. The methodology adopted in this study emphasizes the way how Geology, Geomorphology, Geophysics, Geochemistry, Soil Science and...
Os climas das áreas de montanha são mal conhecidos devido à ausência de observações meteorológicas em posições topográficas diferenciadas. Esta lacuna foi colmatada nos Altos planaltos da Serra da Estrela com a instalação de uma rede de postos termométricos automáticos que registaram a temperatura instantânea do ar em intervalos de 2 horas durante o ano 2000. com uma classificação k-means foi possível agrupar ...
LANDSCAPE ANALYSIS AND CLASSIFICATION METHODOLOGIES. THE EXAMPLE OF THE ESTRELA PROJECT. Landscape ecology studies experience at the moment an increase of interest by researchers, developers and end-users. However, the subject matter is still too dispersed, not only in methods used but also in objects of analysis as well as space and time-scales. Progress on quantitative methods and the use of Geographical Info...

The Serra da Estrela is part of the Iberian Central Cordillera and isthe highest mountain in Portugal (1,993 m ASL). The Torre-Penhas Douradas and Alto da Pedrice-Malhada Alta plateaus with altitudes between 1,400 and 1,993m, which are separated by the Alforfa and Zêzere valleys dominate the highest part of the range. The central massif is dissected by several glacially sculpted valleys thatoriginate reliefs fr...

LOW-COST DATA LOGGERS FOR AIR, SOIL AND ROCK TEMPERATURE MONITORING -Tiny Talk II data loggers were adapted in the laboratory of the Centro de Estudos Geográficos for air, soil and rock temperature monitoring. The loggers are single-channel 8 bit devices with a 2K EEPROM memory that allows the registration of 1,800 temperature records at user-defined intervals. Temperatures are measured by NTC100 thermistors se...
