Descripció des d'un punt de vista geològic d'una font subterrània descoberta en construir-se la nova variant de la carretera de Sant Feliu de Guíxols a Girona l'any 1972, entre els punts quilomètrics 31 i 32

Las formas graníticas de los macizos de les Gavarres i de Begur (Girona)

In the present paper the granite landforms of the Les Gavarres and Begur massifs (Girona) are described. Also the relationship between this landforms and the lithology are analysed

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

Las fuentes naturales del término municipal de Sant Feliu de Guíxols (Girona)

The behaviour of 21 natural springs in a granític massif is studied in this survey. Geomorphological features of the zone are described as well as water circulation and rising 25 parametres of each of them are analysed ans conclusions are withdrawn regarding geological conditions of rising, course, chemism and potability

Morfogénesis del valle de Sant Miquel de Campmajor

A series of circumstances which converge in a little valley in the province of Girona, result in a peculiar type of morphogenetic evolution and a quite singular mechanical instability of its buttons. Very recent tectonic movements as well as dissolution phenomena of its subsoil due to pressurized underground water have played an important role in the morphogenesis. Such conditions have resulted in a fast morphological evolution which a progressive lowering of the valley floor as well as peculiar morphological features which favour the existence of numerous pits caused by sudden collapses distributed in altitude and time

El modelat del massís de Begur

In the present paper, the diverse morphologies observed in the Begur Mountain Range are described and the controlling development factors and their relationships are analized. Finally, a systematics of the different rock types macro and microforms is presented

Contribución al estudio morfolitológico del sector costero central del macizo de Begur (Girona)

This paper makes a contribution to the knowledge of the coastal fringe morphology of the ‘Macizo de Begur’. A lithological study, macro and microscopic, has been carried out of a variety of a series of metamorphic, plutonic, phyllonianic and effusive rocks

Formas graníticas asociadas a megalitos en el nordeste de Cataluña

The landforms that appears in granite slabs of the megaliths, that localize in the NW part of Catalonia, had studied for quantify their increase values. The results allow of distinguish between pre and postmegalithical landforms. Some premegalithical gnammas are 5000 years old or more and has developed actually. Had been calculate 1cm/1000 yaers deepening rates for gnammas and between 0,4 and 3 com/1000 years for the alveoles according to postmegalithical ladforms sizes. The size cannot be used for age approach in another postmegalithical landforms (pitting, ‘pseudorejones’ and speleothems)

Rockfall monitoring by Terrestrial Laser Scanning ¿ case study of the basaltic rock face at Castellfollit de la Roca (Catalonia, Spain)

This case study deals with a rock face monitoring in urban areas using a Terrestrial Laser Scanner. The pilot study area is an almost vertical, fifty meter high cliff, on top of which the village of Castellfollit de la Roca is located. Rockfall activity is currently causing a retreat of the rock face, which may endanger the houses located at its edge. TLS datasets consist of high density 3-D point clouds acquired from five stations, nine times in a time span of 22 months (from March 2006 to January 2008). The change detection, i.e. rockfalls, was performed through a sequential comparison of datasets. Two types of mass movement were detected in the monitoring period: (a) detachment of single basaltic columns, with magnitudes below 1.5 m3 and (b) detachment of groups of columns, with magnitudes of 1.5 to 150 m3. Furthermore, the historical record revealed (c) the occurrence of slab failures with magnitudes higher than 150 m3. Displacements of a likely slab failure were measured, suggesting an apparent stationary stage. Even failures are clearly episodic, our results, together with the study of the historical record, enabled us to estimate a mean detachment of material from 46 to 91.5 m3 year¿1. The application of TLS considerably improved our understanding of rockfall phenomena in the study area.
