The study will establish a chronological sequence for the various processes that led to the Ria’s formation and will also compile a history of the antropic involvement – the exploitation of natural resources by Mankind – that has accompanied its formation.
The project is being funded by the national foundation for science and technology, and will run until 2014. Intriguingly, Portugal’s largest lake system is little known by scientists.
