A convite do Departamento de Línguas e Culturas da Universidade de Aveiro, formulado em finais de 2007, cerca de três dezenas de especialistas de diferentes áreas de conhecimento aceitaram escrever um ensaio cada, para integrar este volume que se destina a assinalar os 500 anos do nascimento de Fernando Oliveira, também conhecido por Fernão de Oliveira (c. 1507– – c. 1582), um Humanista genial cujo nome está intimamente associado a Aveiro. A escolha do adjectivo “genial” que figura no título e que serve para qualificar a extraordinária e multifacetada produção oliveiriana, espelho dos seus múltiplos interesses, não sendo consensual, foi intencional. Com ele pretende-se homenagear também Luís de Albuquerque, outro grande vulto da cultura e da ciência portuguesas, que, não receando as palavras, escreveu um ensaio sobre o autor intitulado «Fernando Oliveira. Um Português genial, aventureiro e insubmisso»1. Também a escolha da grafia do nome do autor foi devidamente ponderada. Seguindo as mais recentes práticas, já muito discutidas e fundamentadas2, decidimo-nos por Fernando Oliveira, por ser a forma onomástica mais moderna, inscrita no frontispício da Arte da Guerra do Mar e em todas as outras obras, com excepção da Grammatica da Lingoagem Portuguesa, onde aparece Fernão doliveyra. Respeitámos, no entanto, as opções dos autores, sobretudo dos que se dedicaram ao estudo do tratado gramatical, que ora escreveram Fernão de Oliveira, ora Fernão d’Oliveira, consentindo assim que a oscilação da grafia do nome fosse aflorando ao longo deste volume, à semelhança do que acontece no conjunto de escritos do autor.

This dissertation introduces several methodological approaches which integrate a proposed coastal management model in an interdisciplinary perspective. The research presented herein is displayed as a set of publications comprising different thematic outlooks. The thesis develops an integrated coastal geoengineering approach which is intrinsically linked to the studied maritime environments. From sandy coasts and marine works to rocky platforms and sea cliffs, this study includes field work between Caminha – Figueira da Foz (NW Portugal) and Galicia (NW Spain). The research also involves an analysis and geological-geotechnical characterisation of natural rock (armourstone) and artificial units (concrete blocks) applied to coastal structures. The main goal is to contribute to the characterisation and re-evaluation of georesources and to determine armourstone suitability and availability from its source (quarry). It was also important to diagnose the geomaterials in situ concerning their degradation/deterioration level on the basis of the current status of the coastal protection works in order to facilitate more efficient monitoring and maintenance, with economic benefits. In the rocky coast approach the coastal blocks were studied along the platform, but also the geoforms were studied from a coastal morphodynamics point of view. A shoreline evolution analysis was developed for sandy coasts through Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) extension. In addition, the spatial and statistical analysis applied to sea cliffs allowed the establishment of susceptibility zones to erosion and hazardous areas. All of these studies have different purposes and results however, there is a common denominator – GIS mapping. Hence, apart from the studied coastal environment, there is an integrated system which includes a sequence of procedures and methodologies that persisted during the research period. This is a step forward in the study of different coastal environments by using almost the same methodologies. This will allow the characterisation, monitoring and assessment of coastal protection works, rocky coasts, and shore platforms. With such data, it is possible to propose or recommend strategies for coastal and shoreline management based on several justifications in terms of social, economic, and environmental questions, or even provide a GIS-based planning support system reinforced by geocartographic decisions. Overall the development of the applied cartography embraces six stages which will allow the production of detailed maps of the maritime environment: (1) high-resolution aerial imagery surveys; (2) visual inspection and systematic monitoring; (3) applied field datasheet; (4) in situ evaluation; (5) scanline surveying; and (6) GIS mapping. This thesis covers fundamental matters that were developed over the course of scientific publication and as a consequence they represent the results obtained and discussed. The subjects directly related to the thesis architecture are: (i) cartography applied to coastal dynamics (including an art historical analysis as a tool to comprehend the coastal evolution and the littoral zone); (ii) georesources assessment (the role of cartography in georesources zoning, assessment and armourstone durability); (iii) coastal geoengineering applications and monitoring (Espinho pilot site in NW Portugal as an experimental field); (iv) rocky coast and shore platform studies and characterisation; (v) sandy and mixed environment approaches; (vi) coastal geosciences GIS mapping and photogrammetric surveying (coastal geoengineering); and (vii) shoreline change mapping and coastal management strategies (the CartGalicia Project as an example – NW Spain). Finally, all of these thematic areas were crucial to generate the conceptual models proposed and to shape the future of integrated coastal coastal geoengineering management.
