Overview

Analysis of erosion and coastal changes in Valencia and Sagunto, revealing impacts of urban development and climate change.

Key Points

  • This research investigates the changes in shoreline evolution between Valencia and Sagunto due to human and natural influences.
  • Analyzed shoreline evolution from 1957 to 2024
  • Utilized geographic information systems, including QGIS and DSAS
  • Calculated shoreline change indicators including EPR, LRR, NSM, SCE, and WLR
  • Examined five distinct zones and three temporal scales (long, medium, short)
  • Extracted data from orthophotos and satellite images.
  • Arenas–Malvarrosa–Patacona area shows long-term accretion but recent erosion (LRR = +0.88 m/year, NSM = +58 m)
  • Port Saplaya shows moderate erosion (LRR ≈ 0.27 m/year)
  • Pobla de Farnals is undergoing strong erosion (LRR = −0.57 m/year, NSM = −44 m)
  • Puzol appears stabilized recently (2015–2024; LRR ≈ +0.06 m/year)
  • Marjal dels Moros shows a short-term retreat of −0.53 m/year.
