Silica sand slope gllying and mining in Central Spain: erosion processes and geomorphic reclamation of contour mining

A Characterization and quantification of the geomorphic activity of three scenarios of silica sand slops of Central Spain (Segovia and Guadalajara province), is being carried out: (a) silica sand slope gullies; (b) Non reclaimed (abandoned) silica sand mines; (c) abandoned silica sand mines reclaime...
