Modelo matemático de los procesos intermareales de acreción y erosión en playas arenosas

In this work, accretion and eros ion processes in intertidal strips of sandy beaches are modelled. With that aim the following steps have been made: 1.- Topographic monitoring of a beach in the Island of Gran Canaria (Spainl. 2.- Development of a mathematical modelo 3.- And interpretation of a significative time serie of records of sedimentary volumes. RESUMEN Se pretende modelizar los procesos de acreción y erosión en franjas intermareales de playas arenosas. Para ello: 1. Se ha hecho el seguimiento de los cambios topográficos de una playa de Gran Canaria (España). 2. Se desarrolla un modelo matemático. 3. y se interpreta una serie temporal de balances sedimentarios

Sedimentary budget on Las Canteras Beach, Gran Canaria (Canary Islands, Spain)

[EN]This paper deals with sedimentary balances and how the sediments move in function of the waves in a beach with special boundary conditions. For this purpose, the topography of the beach was done with a total station and two prism. Topography data were analyzed with SIG software. Wave data were taken from deepwater buoys. Two parameters were calculated, the Dean’s parameter and Larson’s (1988) parameter, to know the type of the beach. Balances show an accretion of sand on the beach even though in some periods there were big losses of sand on the beach. The parameters calculated are not good to estimate the type of the beach due to the boundary conditions of this particular beach

New insights into POC dynamics in the subtropical northeast Atlantic Ocean

[EN]The capacity of the ocean to sequester atmospheric carbon (CO2) depends to a large extent on the dynamics of biogenic carbon in the water column. However, most current global and regional estimates of carbon balances are solely based on particles collected with drifting and moored sediment traps. As a consequence, construction of ocean carbon budgets has long been guided by the simplification introduced by sediment traps, which give a 1D vision of the whole picture. In this thesis we have assessed a quantitative analysis of the flux magnitude and the mechanisms of transport of the whole particle spectrum (suspended, slowly-sinking and sinking particles).
