Secuencias marino-continentales cuaternarias en el litoral del Alentejo portugués

A detailed geomorphological map allowed to define the complex relationships between the morphostructural framework and the development of sedimentary units both marine and terrestrial along the Quaternary in the littoral area of the Alentejo (Portugal). Outcrops along Riba do Morgadel and River Mira allowed to reconstruct a sequence of up to fourteen staircased marine terraces. In the beach of Pessegueiro Fort, a beach-dune sequence has been attributed to MIS5 in basis of OSL, 14C and U-series dating, with the beach being located at +0.5m. At Praia da Pegada, another beach deposit located at +2-4 m, has been attributed to MIS5. This chronology postdatesprevious chronological interpretations
