Dissolved Organic Matter in the Gulf of Cadiz: Distribution and Drivers of Chromophoric and Fluorescent Properties [PDF]
The Gulf of Cadiz (GoC) connects the Mediterranean Sea with the Atlantic Ocean through the Strait of Gibraltar. Particular hydrographic processes take place in the GoC, such as riverine discharges and surface circulation marked by wind-induced seasonal ...

Chronology of the sedimentary processes during the postglacial sea level rise in two estuaries of the Algarve coast, Southern Portugal [PDF]
Four profiles of estuarine sediments obtained from boreholes drilled in the Algarve, Southern Portugal were studied in order to reconstruct the process of sediment accumulation driven by the postglacial sea level rise. In addition to the sedimentological

Structural features of humic acids from a sedimentary sequence in the Guadiana estuary (Portugal–Spain border) [PDF]
29 pages, 3 figures, 6 tables, 63 references. The structural characteristics of humic acids (HAs) from two different depths of a sedimentary sequence representing the last 13 kyr in the valley of Guadiana river estuary (SW Portugal/Spain border) have been approached using a combination of spectroscopic techniques, wet chemical degradation methods ...

A subida do nível do mar durante o Holocénico no Golfo de Cadiz – tendência regional e diferenças locais [PDF]
In Guadiana River Estuary, the Holocene sequence is underlain by pebbly delta fan formed in two stages, prior to 5E and 3 highstands. The Holocene sedimentary sequence was lain either directly on gravels or on top of fluvial sands deposited between 11000

Determination of refractory organic matter in marine sediments by chemical oxidation, analytical pyrolysis and solid-state 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy [PDF]
Seeking to quantify the amount of refractory organic matter (ROM), which includes black carbon-like material (BC), in marine sediments, we have applied a two-step procedure that consists of a chemical oxidation with sodium chlorite of the demineralized ...

Habitats of the Guadiana River estuary
The Guadiana River estuary is the most important estuarine system in southern Portugal. The estuary’s variety of habitats supports a great diversity of species. Some of these species have only recently been discovered and are found nowhere else on Earth.

An analysis of the impacts of climatic variability and hydrology on the coastal fisheries, Engraulis encrasicolus and Sepia officinalis, of Portugal [PDF]
The notion that climate change may impact coastal fish production suggests a need to understand how climatic variables may influence fish catches at different time scales.

Effects of inter-annual freshwater inflow shifts on the community structure of estuarine decapods [PDF]
The objective of this study was to evaluate how inter-annual changes in freshwater inputs have affected the decapod assemblages in the Guadiana estuary. Three major areas in the estuary were sampled during the summer, in 2001 (high inflow year and before

The continental shelf off the Guadiana estuary
The Continental shelf is the seafloor area around a large land mass where the sea is relatively shallow compared with the open ocean.This major physiographic domain is comprised between the shoreline and the shelf break located at variable water depths (generally, around 200 m water depth) and variable extensions (average width of about 80 km).
