- Abstract
One of the most dynamic parts of the earth system is where terrestrial processes interact with marine processes on the coast. Changes in relative sea level, coastal evolution and extreme events such as storms and tsunamis are of local and global interest. Such events hinder individual well-being and intensify/enhance environmental degradation. In a changing world, in which climate and sea-level change impact on human habitats, geoarchaeological research is highly relevant. The way past cultures coped with environmental change and natural hazards provide important lessons for human responses to future environmental changes. Geomorphological, palaeoenvironmental and sedimentological approaches in geoarchaeological studies frequently lack the integration of archaeological and historical data. This special issue of the journal "Cuaternario y Geomorfología" therefore aims to provide a multidisciplinary platform to define the present state of geoarchaeological science throughout the Iberian coast of the Gulf of Cádiz. All the contributions will stimulate the debate on new approaches to study human-environmental interaction and address research themes such as 'palaeo-geohazards' (e.g. tsunami, earthquake and coastal and fluvial flooding).
