Descripción: The coastline position in Claromecó, Buenos Aires province was determined, featuring character elements identified in relation to the position of the shoreline. In comparison on the determination of coastline and shoreline, it appears that the first results of the geomorphologic interpretation, while the position of the shoreline is subject to a number of uncertainties if there are no long-term measurements. The nomenclature for the coastal areas is not always clear, hampering the interpretation of the processes occurring in the coast and shore. The correct identification is important technical, scientific and legal. Current legislation states that the boundary between public and private territory corresponds to the shoreline. The use of plant species in the determination of the coastline and shoreline, by itself is not determinative if not accompanied by the geomorphologic reconnaissance of the area. The exact determination of shoreline and coastline is essential in the implementation of geological surveys of major importance for the proper planning and development of the coastal area. In the task of delimitation of the coastal area beach ridges were found; one located about 5 m a.s.l has an age of 4,370 years BP.

Descripción: In previous works, we presented 2-D and 3-D magnetotelluric modelling methods based on Rayleigh-Fourier expansions. These methods are an alternative to finite-element and finite-difference techniques and are especially suitable for modelling multilayered structures, with smooth irregular boundaries. Here we generalize the 2-D method for the calculation of the electromagnetic response of 2-D structures to arbitrary, spatially non-uniform 2-D and 3-D inducing magnetic fields. These fields are characteristic of low- and high-latitude regions. We calculate the response to different 2-D and 3-D sources, of a 2-D structure representative of the conductivity distribution which could be found at a coastline, which includes deep conductive anomalies in the lower crust and upper mantle. Then, we investigate source effects, comparing these responses to that obtained for a uniform source. These effects become noticeable for periods greater than approximately 6 h and increase with the period of the source. They are highly dependent on the morphology of the source and also on the orientation of the external field relative to the strike direction of the structure. In various cases, they totally mask the uniform source response.

Descripción: The coast of Lobería and Necochea is characterized by cliffsand narrow beaches. The inlet of the Quequén Grande river used to alter the coastline. The construction of jetties related to the Quequén Harbour induced huge accumulations of sand towards Necochea, and a critic erosive process of cliff and beach to the east. Beach width reduces from 300 m at the west to 40-60 m to the east. Considering regional sand scarcity, the eastern beaches are characterized by more sand variability. Greater variations in the sand balance were assigned to human activity. Waves coming from the E, SE and S deliver more energy along this eastern sector. On the other hand, submerged zones of these beaches have less availability of sand. Greater availability of fine sand was recognized towards Necochea. The Quequén Grande river has much effect on the estuarine dynamics during ENSO-triggered floods, although sedimentation is dominated by silt supply.
