This document considers as well national regulations within the Ministry of Defense, the General State Administration and the Government of Canary Islands for the management of the COVID-19 crisis. Starting November 23, new requirements came into force for people, who want to cross the border to Spain. As a new requirement, people from high-risk countries must present proof of a negative COVID-19 test taken no more than 72 hours before entry. Canary Islands President approved Decree-Law 17/2020, of October 29, on extraordinary measures in tourism to face the effects of the health crisis applicable while the health crisis caused by COVID-19 persists and until the competent health authority declares its unnecessariness. In accordance with said regime, to access tourist accommodation establishments it will be necessary to demonstrate the completion of the active infection diagnostic test established by the health authorities. It is part of the current situation of a state of alarm throughout the national territory approved by Royal Decree 926/2020, of October 25, which declares the state of alarm to contain the spread of infections caused by SARS-CoV -2 (and successive modifications and extensions of the alarm status). Failing to comply with the aforementioned MANDATORY measures will be considered a serious offense against the Spanish Law, which would be brought to the attention of the competent Health authorities in this matter and would surely have serious consequences.

  • Changes Detected at Corralejo Dune Field from 1994 to 2014
    CHANGES DETECTED AT CORRALEJO DUNE FIELD FROM 1994 TO 2014 ENRIQUE VAREA LOAYZA MASTER INTERUNIVERSITARIO EN OCEANOGRAFÍA TRABAJO DE FIN DE MASTER LAS PALMAS DE GRAN CANARIA, 2016 MASTER INTERUNIVERSITARIO EN OCEANOGRAFÍA UNIVERSIDAD DE LAS PALMAS DE GRAN CANARIA CHANGES DETECTED AT CORRALEJO DUNE FIELD FROM 1994 TO 2014 Tesis de Máster presentada por ENRIQUE VAREA LOAYZA Dirigida por Dr. IGNACIO ALONSO BILBAO Dra. MARÍA JOSÉ SANCHÉZ GARCÍA LOS DIRECTORES EL TESINADO Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, 11 de julio de 2016 ABSTRACT Understanding coastal dune field evolution is a challenge because of their complex dynamic nature. This work has been carried out by means of photointerpretation of 5 orthophotos covering the period 1994-2014. A geographical information system has been developed, including information of the three geomorphological landforms (sand sheets, dune areas, and deflation surfaces) present in the area, as well two additional information layers (vegetation and artificial structures) that interact with the previous ones. The GIS also includes information of the dune crests movement over the same period, which has been correlated with gust wind data. Average migration rates are 8 m/y in the S-SSE direction. Geomorphological evolution indicates that dune areas are decreasing in the north and increasing in the south, as a result of the southward displacement of the mobile dunes. The opposite patter is found for the sand sheet unit. On the other hand, both vegetation and deflation surfaces shows a continuous increment in surface coverage, which in both cases is explained as a result of the lack of sediment supply into the dune system.

  • Los Gentilicios En Fuerteventura: Causas De Su Escasez Y Criterios Para Remediarla
    LOS GENTILICIOS EN FUERTEVENTURA: CAUSAS DE SU ESCASEZ Y CRITERIOS PARA REMEDIARLA Marcial Morera Universidad de La Laguna [email protected] RESUMEN En la isla canaria de Fuerteventura, solamente la isla y su antigua capital, Santa María de Betan- curia, disponen de denominaciones gentilicias propias, en tanto que el resto de sus pueblos carecen enteramente de ellas. Las razones de semejante deficiencia son ciertamente diversas: el tradicional régimen señorial de la isla, su crónica penuria económica y la escasa población que ha tenido siempre este trozo de tierra insular a lo largo de todos los tiempos. PALABRAS CLAVE : Lingüística, semántica, gramática, lexicología e historia. ABSTRACT «Demonyms in Fuerteventura: Causes for its Paucity and Criteria to solve the problem». In the Canarian island of Fuerteventura, just the island and its ancient capital, Santa María de Betancuria, have their own demonyms or family names, while the rest of the villages lack it. The reasons for such a deficiency are diverse: the traditional feudal estate of this Canarian island, its chronic economic penury and the scarce population that it has had along history . 3 KEY WORDS : Linguistics, Semantics, Grammar, Morphology and History. 7 3 2 9 3 - De acuerdo con los procedimientos morfológicos de la lengua española, a 3 7 3 todos los pueblos del mundo, y hasta a los del extramundo (piénsese en las denomi - .

H. von Suchodoletz 1*, H. Oberhänsli 2, D. Faust 3, M. Fuchs 1, C. Blanchet 4, T. Goldhammer 5 and L. Zöller 1 1Geography Department, University of Bayreuth, Universitätsstrasse 30, D – 95440 Bayreuth, Germany 2Helmholtz-Zentrum Potsdam, Deutsches Geoforschungszentrum, Telegrafenberg, D – 14473 Potsdam, Germany 3Institute of Geography, Dresden University of Technology, D-01062 Dresden, Germany 4IFM-GEOMAR, Sedimentology, D – 24148 Kiel, Germany 5MARUM, University of Bremen, Department of Geosciences, Klagenfurter Str. 1, D – 28359 Bremen Abstract: An overall Holocene increase of Saharan dust input to the Canary Islands and to the North Canary Basin is accompanied by a strong coarsening of Saharan dust in loess-like sediments deposited on Lanzarote from ~7–8 ka. No similar coarsening events are indicated in investigations of the sedimentological record for the last 180 ka, a period showing several dramatic climate changes. Therefore a mobilisation of Holocene dust by anthropogenic activity in the northwest Sahara east of the Canary Islands is assumed. Although scarce archaeological data from the coastal area of that region does not point to strong anthropogenic activity during the early Holocene, a high density of unexplored archaeological remains is reported from the coastal hinterlands in the Western Sahara. Thus, the hypothesis of early anthropogenic activity cannot be excluded. Key words: Canary Islands, Saharan dust, geoarchaeology, early Holocene, Western Sahara, desertification. Introduction Sediments derived from aeolian dust can bear witness to past environmental changes occurring in dust mobilisation areas.

  • Urban-Touristic Impacts on the Aeolian Sedimentary Systems of the Canary Islands: Conflict Between Development and Conservation
    Island Studies Journal, Vol. 11, No. 1, 2016, pp. 91-112 Urban-touristic impacts on the aeolian sedimentary systems of the Canary Islands: conflict between development and conservation Leví García-Romero Instituto de Oceanografia y Cambio Global (IOCAG) Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain [email protected] Antonio I. Hernández-Cordero Instituto de Oceanografia y Cambio Global (IOCAG) Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain [email protected] Elisabeth Fernández-Cabrera Instituto de Oceanografia y Cambio Global (IOCAG) Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain [email protected] Carolina Peña-Alonso Instituto de Oceanografia y Cambio Global (IOCAG) Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain [email protected] Luis Hernández-Calvento Instituto de Oceanografia y Cambio Global (IOCAG) Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain [email protected] Emma Pérez-Chacón Instituto de Oceanografia y Cambio Global (IOCAG) Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain [email protected] ABSTRACT : Aeolian sedimentary systems in the Canary Islands differ from other European and African systems due to climate, vegetation and isolation. In turn, they experience high human pressure from touristic development. This paper analyzes the impact of urban-touristic development in four aeolian sedimentary systems in the Canaries: Maspalomas, Corralejo, Lambra and Jable Sur. Spatial and surface change variables related to vegetation and geomorphology are obtained by photo-interpretation of historical aerial photography and current orthophotos. Results indicate that systems affected by urban-touristic development have witnessed significant environmental change. In contrast, the systems not impacted by building and construction of infrastructure show minor changes.
