Abstract

This study is an analysis about morphological problems, due to anthropic or other causes. We carried out the behavior and evolution of ten beaches on the North Coast of Spain, in order to see if climate change was involved. To do this, it was necessary to consider data from Cantabrian sea buoys during fifteen years. Besides we made use of, maps, nautical charts and bathymetric records. We applied a kind of parameters to measure the energy including on each beach, so to be able to compare therm.
