The demographic dynamics of urban areas is highly relevant for urban and regional planning, in a global context marked by rapid socioeconomic changes and growing competition between cities. Demographic and economic decline ...
Influence of catchment processes on fluvial morphology and river habitats
(AIL, 2011)
Fluvial morphology is conditioned by three basic elements: flow regime, sediment yield and valley characteristics. These
elements are controlled by factors operating at different spatial and time scales, within and outside ...
The IHG index for hydromorphological quality assessment of rivers and streams: updated version
(AIL, 2011)
[EN]An updated version of the IHG index is presented. The index is based on three appraisal parameters: 1) the functional quality of the fluvial system, including a) flow regime naturalness, b) sediment supply and mobility, ...
A life-stage approach for decomposing spatiotemporal population changes along an urban-rural gradient: implications for regional planning
(Taylor and Francis, 2021-04-14)
The study of population changes across space and time of cohorts at different life stages is relevant for regional planning, but it is often not taken into account. We focus on a case study along the urban-rural gradient ...

Isotopic evidence for the reconstruction of diet and mobility during village formation in the Early Middle Ages: Las Gobas (Burgos, northern Spain)
(Springer, 2017-07-10)
Strontium, carbon, and nitrogen isotopes of human bone and tooth remains have been used to reconstruct residential mobility and diet of early medieval populations at Las Gobas from the sixth to eleventh centuries. Most ...
Shell midden people in northern Iberia. New data from the mesolithic rock shelter of J3 (Basque Country, Spain)

(Cambridge University Press, 2023-07)
Upper Palaeolithic archaeological sites in the Basque Country have been excavated for over a century. They have yielded a rich palaeoenvironmental record with zoological and botanical remains that have been obtained in ...
Revisiting the concept of the ‘Neolithic Founder Crops’ in southwest Asia
