Abstract

Deposition hazard and risk in the Aveiro lagoon is here presented on the basis of reading one chapter of the PhD thesis of the Portuguese geographer Amorim Girão written 85 years ago. Different moments of the lagoon evolution are explained with well known climate changes since the cold times of Würm period until today. Previewed end of the lagoon is now strengthened with man-made acceleration of some natural processes.
