Resumo
The present study provides an overview of the development of coastal systems of the southwest coast of Portugal over the last ∼7500 years. A well-supported chronology provides an accurate time estimation of sedimentary gaps and changes in sedimentary accumulation rates. Stratigraphic analysis shows that elevation was the main factor controlling the origin and evolution of each coastal system type.
