GOMEZ-PAZO, Alejandro  and  PEREZ-ALBERTI, Augusto. Application of GIS in the morphological classification of types of coast: the example of Cíes Islands (Galicia, NW Iberian Peninsula). GOT [online]. 2016, n.9, pp.161-185. ISSN 2182-1267.  https://doi.org/10.17127/got/2016.9.008.

The concern for coastal regions has been very important throughout history. In recent years, with the evolution experienced by the SIG has emerged a great opportunity to deepen your understanding. This research has focused on search a semi-automatic methodological approach to the rocky shores that help to better characterize the rocky ecosystems. For this purpose, the Illas Cíes have been selected. It have used orthophotos and LIDAR data, from which it has generated information from the field of 0.5 m resolution. Their combination has allowed 10 types of coast singled out by his association with coastal platforms, accumulations of blocks in your base, or different topographic profiles, as well as framed in sectors cliffs or beach-dune systems.

Keywords : GIS; coast; coastal geomorphology; Cíes Islands.
