Investigaciones Geológicas en la Costa de Huelva: balance y perspectivas

Abstract

Research results of works developed along the Huelva coast, s. w. Spain, are commented. The concept of coast is Introduced within the Interdisciplinary contributions of its studies from the classic antiquity. It Is concluded with a perspective of future research lines centered on: (1) the modeling of high-resolution seismic reflections of the Holocéne infilling; (2) increase of radiometric dating (l4C,210Pb, etc.) of coastal sequences as related to recent sea-level fluctuations; (3) increase of the vibracoring networt on Holocene sediments; (4) determination of the origin and evolution of the geochemical composition ofthe Holocena sediments; and (5) modelling of the sedimentary transfer continent/ocean along the Gulf of Cadix
