(e-mail: [email protected]) Carlos Pirmez Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria Ltd., Plot 461, Constitution Avenue, Central Business District, Abuja, Nigeria (e-mail: [email protected]) ABSTracT The slope morphologies of the Magdalena deepwater fan exhibit a series of channel-levee complexes (CLCs), recording the evolution of the Magdalena delta. Detailed morphologi- cal analysis of the seafloor expression of the channels and their lateral relationship allows the reconstruction of the history of Pleistocene fan development. The Magdalena deepwater fan was deposited on the northern offshore Colombia accretionary wedge (Caribbean Sea), initiated during the late Miocene. Fan evolution is closely related to the Magdalena River delta migration and reflects control by tectonic processes occurring from Pliocene to present. Major delta shifts toward the southwest (Canal del Dique) and northeast (Cienaga de Santa Marta region) create a submarine fan that migrated with the river, becoming younger toward the southwest. The main fan was abandoned during the Holocene, focusing deposition on the Barranquilla region to the northeast with modern active sedimentation. -

Multipurpose Port Puerto Bahía, Cartagena, Colombia. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Puerto Bahía is a large-scale multifunctional port with capacity to handle dry and liquid products in bulk. Located at the southern part of Mamonal in Cartagena Bay, between the Dique Canal and Bahía Honda swamp on the island of Barú, the port is the most advanced in Colombia and the region for handling, storing, and exporting oil. -

Urbanisation induces land use and land cover (LULC) changes in the city and its hinterland affecting the region’s climate and biodiversity. This paper aims to identify the trends of land use and land cover changes in the hinterland of Barranquilla corresponding to 13 municipalities in the north of the Department Atlántico. Landsat TM/ETM/OLI imagery from 1985 to 2017 was used to map and analyse the spatio-temporal development of land use and land cover changes.
