Stacked Bar Chart Maker
Beach and Dune Profile Creator
Our Beach Profile Creator quickly constructs a beach profile from cumulative beach surface distance and slope angle data. In the process it calculates the beach elevations, horizontal dimensions and cross sectional area and shows the data calculations. Other beach profile makers using different data collection methods are available on our website.

Our River Cross Section Maker creates river cross sections from river fieldwork data, calculating the cross sectional area, wetted perimeter, hydraulic radius and discharge. The whole process takes less than five minutes, transforming a previously awkward and often difficult task into a quick and easy one.
Enter river width and depth measurements and your cross section and data are created for download.

The Barcelona area offers a range of settings for geography fieldwork unrivalled in Europe.

Field studies in the unspoiled National Parks that surround the city include coastal management, river processes, dune ecosystems, limestone and volcanic landscapes.
