- Abstract Book 15th Geoparks ConferencePublication . Castro, Emanuel; Firmino, Gisela; Gomes, Hugo; Cezar, Lucas; Sá, Artur; Silva, Elisabeth; Fernandes, Magda; Vieira, Gonçalo; Loureiro, Fábio; Patrocínio, Filipe; Castel-Branco, João; Azevedo, PatríciaThe UNESCO Global Geoparks (UGGps) are territories of science, education and culture. These develop holistic approaches to sustainable development aiming to create new tools that can reinforce endogenous values and empower local communities. The Estrela Aspiring Geopark was created and implemented based on this reality and principles. Since the beginning, sustainable development of the territory was a priority, considering the uniqueness of the Estrela Mountain area and the importance of the protection and valorisation of its endogenous potential, with emphasis on the geological heritage.
- Aspiring Estrela Geopark: Estratégia Para a Valorização e Desenvolvimento do Território da Serra da EstrelaPublication . Fernandes, Gonçalo; Castro, EmanuelThe creation of geoparks is a new paradigm in the way how it disseminates Geosciences, the territories, heritage (tangible and intangible) and ways of life of their communities. The management strategy of a Geopark is not only the geological heritage as well as biodiversity, archeology and other aspects of cultural legacy. Thus geosciences gained public visibility and asset size. Geopark bet on the network of social responsibility, as well as the strategic partnerships that promote the strengthening of the territory, with regard to their quality of life, based on economic activities and supported in products and services with high added value trying to increase the levels of knowledge and income. The diversity of glacial marks, the richness of its heritage and character of its landscape make the Serra da Estrela a unique geography, which his structured approach will create a strong brand, with tourist potential and recognized heritage and cultural value.

- Avaliação de recursos hídricos através de modelação hidrológica: aplicação do programa VISUAL BALAN v2.0 a uma bacia hidrográfica na Serra da Estrela (Centro de Portugal)Publication . Espinha Marques, Jorge; Samper, Javier; Pisani, B. V.; Alvares, D.; Vieira, Gonçalo; Mora, Carla; Carvalho, C.; Chaminé, Helder; Marques, J. M.; Sodré Borges, F.Numerical models are needed to evaluate complex hydrological systems. VISUAL BALAN v2.0 is a lumped hydrological code which performs daily water balances in the soil, the unsaturated zone and the aquifer requiring a small number of parameters. VISUAL BALAN has been used to model the river Zêzere catchment upstream of Manteigas (Serra da Estrela, Central Portugal), in order to assess its water resources. Modelling started with the definition of sub-basins based on hydrogeomorphological units. Then, daily temperature and precipitation data from Manteigas meteorological station were extrapolated to each sub-basin considering vertical gradients. Finally, modelling with VISUAL BALAN was performed in four stages: (i) physical characterisation of each sub-basin; (ii) preliminary calculations of the daily water balance; (iii) model calibration by means of flow measurements in the river Zêzere; (iv) result analysis. This basin exhibits complex patterns in hydrometeorological variables such as rainfall and temperature. Several sub-basins have been defined in order to account for the spatial variability in hydrometeorological and geomorphological variables. The model reproduces observed flowrates while its results are coherent with the conclusions of previous studies in similar basins.
- Combined numerical and Geomorphological reconstruction of Serra da Estrela plateau icefield, Portugal.Publication . Vieira, GoncaloThe paper focuses on reconstruting a plateau icefield susface from field geomorphoçogical data and a physical-based glaciar model. The results allow the analysis of the patterns of glacial erosion and estimation of the palaeo-Equilibrium Line Altitudes (ELA). The study area is the Serra da Estrela, a plateau in Central Portugal rising to ~2000 m ASL. The glaciated area during the Last Maximum of the Serra da Estrela Glaciation (LMGSE) was ~66km2. The reconstrution of the topography of the icefield and vlley glaciers in the LMGSE is based on the Schiling and Holin model.
- Communicate Science in UNESCO Global GeoparkPublication . Patrocínio, Filipe; Castro, Emanuel; Loureiro, Fábio; Firmino, Gisela; Vieira, Gonçalo; Gomes, Hugo; Fernandes, MagdaUNESCO territories are spaces of Education, Science and Culture, but also of Communication. Today, communication is an imperative of these territories, both as dissemination strategies and as a way of positioning in different development domains. In any case, knowing how to communicate its resources, differentiating elements or defining strategies, constitutes a competitive advantage that cannot be neglected at the present time. In other perspective, communication translates a strategy defined by the territories, visible in the way it communicates and in what is communicated. However, it’s not always easy to convey the values we want, much less when we speak about Science. The UNESCO Global Geoparks, as well-defined spaces where a community development strategy based on geology is built, are also areas of science. As such, communicating scientific knowledge, heritage resources, tangible and intangible values and culture itself are part of the daily life of a Geopark. Assuming the old maxim that we can only value what we know, the development of instruments, strategies and processes is fundamental, allowing the interpretation and dissemination of the geological heritage, but also of what is intended to be achieved with its valorisation, not only promoting greater attractiveness, but also a greater involvement of their communities, leading them to contribute in their own development. At Estrela Geopark, an aspirant to the UNESCO Global Geoparks network, communication plays a prominent role in its transverse development strategy. In each of its vital axes, tourism, science, education and sustainability, communication seeks to achieve three essential objectives: first, greater awareness of the Geopark brand and its own concept; secondly, greater dissemination of the territory; and thirdly, greater attractiveness, with more tourists, residents and investors. However, it`s not always easy to communicate science and scientific research. How to convey knowledge in an accessible, interesting and appealing way to the general public, whether visitors or residents? Aware of this difficulty, the Estrela Geopark betted early on interpretation as a central strategy for the whole communicative process. To interpret is the sine quo non condition for spreading knowledge, promoting geoconservation, achieving new forms of education and fostering our sense of belonging and pride. Throughout the last four years, several communication measures have been adopted, among which we highlight the "Portas do Geopark ", which are points of information and dissemination of heritage, and provide an entry into the territory. These "Portas" are the materialization of a dissemination strategy for the values of the Geopark throughout the 9 municipalities that compose this Aspiring with more than 2 thousand km2. Thus, 9 "Portas" and a tenth in the highest point of Continental Portugal, the Torre of Serra da Estrela, a place that receives approximately 2 million visitors per year, were created. In fact, communicating is much more than a simple way of transmitting knowledge, it`s a methodology that leverages the whole strategy of the Geopark, so that Estrela truly becomes a territory of Science, Education, Culture and Communication.
