During the first year, two different phases of sedimentary development were observed. Semester 7 (autumn and winter) showed a significant sand accumulation (>3500 m3) due to the dominant NW winds that reached an average velocity greater than 4 m/s. On the other hand, semester 2 (spring and summer) exhibited SE-dominant winds with average velocities between 7-2 m/s. Sand deposition was nill during this period. The final result has been the formation of a supratidal area of 6250 m2 with almost 8 m of maximum height (above national ordnance datum) on this sandy estuarine environment}, publisher = {Sociedad Geológica de España}, keywords = {Sand-dune regeneration}, keywords = {Estuarine environment}, keywords = {Biosphere Reserve}, keywords = {Urdaibai}, keywords = {Basque Country}, title = {Regeneración dunar en la Reserva de la Biosfera de Urdaibai (Bizkaia, País Vasco)}, title = {Sand-dune regeneration in the Biosphere Reserve of Urdaibai (Biscay, Basque Country)}, author = {Monge Ganuzas, M. and Iriarte, Eneko and Cearreta, Alejandro}, }
