Utilización de la mineralogía de arenas en la interpretación paleoambiental de las llanuras aluviales costeras: El Empordà, NE de la Península Ibérica

Abstract

Sand beach nourishment in NE Spain (Emporda basin)is characterized by the sand river supply and its redistribution due to dominant winds and longshore currents. The differences in heavy mineral composition of these sands allow us to propose a model for the origin of fossil and subfossil dunes in this basin.
