Las formas graníticas del macizo de l'Ardenya

Granitic Landforms in the Ardenya Massif (Girona, Spain). In this paper the main characteristics of the granite landforms in the Ardenya massif (Girona) are described. The relationship between this landforms and the lithology are analysed

Costa Brava central y meridional

Esta excursión, centrada en el extremo septentrional de la costa mediterránea de la península ibérica, tiene como objetivo fundamental la visita de algunos elementos geológicos puntuales que destacan por su especial interés, y que constituyen parte del patrimonio natural de esta zona. Además, a lo largo del itinerario se ofrece una visión general de la constitución geológica de este sector costero

Avaluació dels recursos d'àrids disponibles en medis fluvials mitjançant tècniques geofisiques. Aplicació a la cubeta de Celrà (Riu Ter, Ne Catalunya)

The depth of the water table and the clay content are determinant factors for the exploitability of natural aggregates, such as the alluvial sands and gravels found on the fluvial domain of the Ter River. In this preliminary study, carried out in the Celri basin, we conclude that these variables can be determined by means of geophysical methods and recornmends the use of such methods in studies of regional character

Nota sobre la presencia de depósitos morrenicos en Port de Compte (Lleida)

Here we describe a series of recognized morainic deposits in the "Macizo del Port del Comte", which are the southern-most example of the eastern pre Pyrenees

Previsió d'impactes en el medi físic, derivats de l'explotació de les formacions geològiques d'interés per a la producció d'àrids, a la zona del curs mitjà del Riu Fluvià (La Garrotxa)

Potential mining of the pliocene and quaternary geological formations for the aggregate production along the medium course of the Fluvil river is likely to be carried out through gravel pits. The most significant environmental impacts are envisaged to occur during site preparation and extraction of aggregate. Several environmental impacts types have been considered: variation of water table, reduction of soil and vegetation, development of unbalanced land-forms and deterioration of landscape

Interpretación sedimentológica y paleogeográfica del nivel de areniscas eocénicas de Sarrià de Ter (Prov. de Gerona)

There is in this work a description of sedimentological characters of the medium Eocene sandstone level from Sarriá de Ter (Gerona province Spain) and an interpretation of their genesis and situation in the regional paleogeography. The conclusion is that these sandstones form a deltaic channel(delta front). To wards the E and NE the become fluvial deposits, to wards the W, Plana de Vic, they become clay and silstones considered as a prodelta

Morfogènesi de pilars de terra (earth Pillars, hoodoos). Exemples de la Riera de Gaià (Vallès Occidental, Barcelona) i del Bernal de Yátor (Las Alpujarras, Granada)

The origin and the primary features of the erosive earth pillar-like formations that develop in the Riera de Gaià (Barcelona) and in the Bernal de Yátor (Granada) are described. They are dynamic formations typical of areas subjected to strong water erosion

Unitats litològiques d'interès per a la producció d'àrids a l'àrea del curs mitjà del riu Fluvià (la Garrotxa)

Pleistocene and Quaternary sediments adjacent to the medium course of the Fluvià river are a source of aggregate in the Garrotxa. Four lithological units can be used directly, or with a minimal processing as coarse aggregate. They have been mapped in detail at the 1:5.000 escale. The stratigraphic analysis have made possible the four units to be ordered in relation to their suitibility for usage as aggregate. From high to low relative quality they are: the basaltic flow, fluviatile deposits, plio-quaternary conglomerates, and glacis deposits

El paleozoic del massís de Begur (Girona)

The Paleozoic materials of Massís de Begur are described from a stratigraphical point of view. We distinguish two units: the lower one, present phillites with carbonate layers ofcambro-ordovician age. The upper one is composed by volcanic rocks, carbonate schistsand black slates, bring from caradocian and ashgillian age

El paleogen del massís de Begur (Girona)

Stratigraphic series concerning the paleogenic materials of the 'Massis de Begur' are described. We note the presence of some diferences between its northem and westem margins

Possibles materials amb destinació a obres portuàries a la Costa Brava (Girona)

The metodology used in the research of materials destinated to port constructions in the Costa Brava is described. This metodology follows a set of work steps. The first three allow to do a selection of the stone quarries that exist in the zone. The other steps consists in studing the materials and the characteristics of the chosen quarries and the zones closed to them, as to order them according to their utility in port constmctions. Finally, the main results obtained are explained
