  • A Coastal Vulnerability Assessment Due to Sea Level Rise: a Case Study of Atlantic Coast of Portugal’S Mainland
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 27 December 2019 doi:10.20944/preprints201912.0366.v1 Peer-reviewed version available at Water 2020, 12, 360; doi:10.3390/w12020360 Article A Coastal Vulnerability Assessment due to Sea Level Rise: A Case Study of Atlantic Coast of Portugal’s Mainland Carolina Rocha 1, Carlos Antunes 1,2* and Cristina Catita 1,2 1 Faculdade de Ciências, Universidade de Lisboa, 1749-016 Lisboa, Portugal; [email protected] 2 Instituto Dom Luiz, Universidade de Lisboa, 1749-016 Lisboa, Portugal; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +351 21 7500839 Abstract: The sea level rise, a consequence of climate change, is one of the biggest challenges that countries and regions with coastal lowland areas will face in the medium term. This study proposes a methodology for assessing the vulnerability to sea level rise (SLR) on the Atlantic coast of Portugal mainland. Some scenarios of extreme sea level for different return periods and extreme flooding events were estimated for 2050 and 2100, as proposed by the European Union Directive 2007/60/EC. A set of physical parameters are considered for the multi-attribute analysis technique implemented by the Analytic Hierarchy Process, in order to define a Physical Vulnerability Index fundamental to assess coastal vulnerability. For each SLR scenario, coastal vulnerability maps, with spatial resolution of 20 m, are produced at national scale to identify areas most at risk of SLR, constituting key documents for triggering adaptation plans for such vulnerable regions. For 2050 and 2100, it is estimated 903 km2 and 1146 km2 of vulnerable area, respectively, being the district of Lisbon the most vulnerable district in both scenarios.

  • Title: Portuguese Population Over the Nineteenth Century: an Overview
    Title: Portuguese population over the nineteenth century: an overview. Authors: Cristiana Viegas de Andrade1 & Marco Cariglia2 In the last few decades, there has been particular interest in describing demographic patterns in the 19th century in Portugal. Parish-level research has made it possible to observe marriage, fertility, mortality and migration patterns all over the country (Amorim, 1983, 1992, 1998; Andrade, 2010a, 2010b, 2011; Brettell, 1986; O’Neill, 1987; Pereira, 1996; Faria, 1998; Faustino, 1998; Gomes, 1998; Scott, 1999; Castro, 2001; Solé, 2001; Juncal, 2004). However, few efforts were made to synthesise the findings in order to get a broader overview of the Portuguese demographic dynamics over the period (Livi-Baci, 1971; Rolland (1986)). Different parts of Portugal presented their particularities, which were mainly a consequence of regional socio-economic specificities associated with a larger context of demographic patterns (such as international migration streams). In order to fill this lack, this paper will present a review of the research findings at local and regional levels. It will also analyse data from the census of 1845, 1864, 1878, 1890 and 1900.The idea is to make a comparative analysis so regional e national patterns will be identified. In this extended abstract I will show some of the analysis of the paper, such as the Portuguese population increase according to the census data, the proportion of celibates and the mean age at first marriage. The analysis presented in this extended abstract is only a sample of what was already done in the full paper, which includes also the analysis of the crude birth, death, infant death and emigration rates by province, proportion of illegitimate childen, and total fertility rates by parish.

  • 1 Northwest Portuguese Seaport System in the Early Modern Age
    Northwest Portuguese Seaport System in the Early Modern Age. Results of a Research Project Amélia Polónia Faculty of Arts - University of Porto I. ANALYTICAL FRAME This paper aims to discuss the existence of a Portuguese seaport system in the Early Modern Age, centred on the analysis overtime of the evolving network of Northwest seaports and their connections with Lisbon, the main Portuguese seaport in the Early Modern Age. Some of the data and conclusions presented in this paper result from a research plan carried out by a Portuguese research team brought together in the HISPORTOS Project – A contribution to the history of NW Portuguese Seaports in the Early Modern Age 1. We shall work with some basic concepts such as seaport system and seaport hierarchies, seeking to understand the complex relations that developed within a port precinct, based on an approach that favours a micro-analysis of the issue. It is undeniable that in the last few decades, Early Modern European historiography has largely focused on the analysis of port systems and seaport networks, paying particular attention to the overseas traffic system. This perspective is based on a theoretical conception of the existence of international seaport hierarchies and tends accordingly to be centred on a macro- analysis. This type of approach underrates or even disregards the study of the internal dynamics and specific profiles of each seaport. In contrast, the Hisportos project selected the micro level and the local and regional scales as its methodological starting point to study the seaports in NW Portugal, aiming to discuss the existence or non-existence of seaport models.

First of all, I would like to thank my supervisor, Professor Raffaelle Romanelli, for his unfailing support, witticism, criticism and invaluable irony with which he saw fit to supervise this work, and myself. There were good times to be had and slightly rougher times to be sad, but his experienced advise was always there to file away the excess of anxiety and get things back to proportion.
