Purpose Universities are continually transforming its structure and governance in response to the new social, environmental and economic challenges. Particularly, there has recently been a growing academic interest for measuring sustainable practices of higher education institutions (HEI) aiming to monitor and reduce their carbon emissions, as well as transform them into more sustainable organizations. More recent studies began to focus also on the sustainable performance of distance education Universities. So it became crucial to evaluate their sustainability practices through sustainability assessment tools with the aim of improving their sustainability performance and boosting their role as agents of academic, social and economic change. The purpose of this study is to assess and compare holistically sustainability implementation in two similar distance learning universities and to evaluate their advantages and disadvantages. Design/methodology/approach One of the most rigorous and internationally used sustainability assessment tools was used – the Sustainability Tracking, Assessment and Rating System, to evaluate and compare sustainability implementation in two distance universities, one from Spain and another from Portugal: the Madrid Open University and Universidade Aberta. Indicators of both universities were compared and ways of improvement in both universities were widely discussed. Findings The results of this research show that there is a similar pattern in both universities. Both have low performance in campus operations and low levels of community participation but good performance in sustainability courses and programmes offer. The results of both institutions were compared and allowed a learning process for improvement. Originality/value This research hopes to contribute to the continuous research about the usefulness of sustainability assessment tools in particular when applied to distance universities at the time that offers new paths to carry out improved sustainable practices in crucial areas of interest such as research, administration, education and resource-saving. This research also highlights the value of distance learning universities and their ability to be more sustainable after the advent of COVID-19.

The complexities of coupled environmental and human systems across the space and time of fragile systems challenge new data-driven methodologies. Combining geographic information systems (GIS) and artificial neural networks (ANN) allows us to design a model that forecasts the erosion changes in Costa da Caparica, Lisbon, Portugal, for 2021, with a high accuracy level. The GIS–ANN model proves to be a powerful tool, as it analyzes and provides the “where” and the “why” dynamics that have happened or will happen in the future. According to the literature, ANNs present noteworthy advantages compared to the other methods that are used for prediction and decision making in urban coastal areas. In order to conduct a sensitivity analysis on natural and social forces, as well as dynamic relations in the dune–beach system of the study area, two types of ANNs were tested on a GIS environment: radial basis function (RBF) and multilayer perceptron (MLP). The GIS–ANN model helps to understand the factors that impact coastal erosion changes, and the importance of having an intelligent environmental decision support system to address these risks. This quantitative knowledge of the erosion changes and the analytical map-based frame are essential for an integrated management of the area and the establishment of pro-sustainability policies.

Este estudo trata da caracterização multitemporal de barras e ilhas fluviais no baixo curso do rio Jaguaribe, particularmente no segmento a jusante da barragem do açude Castanhão, em anos secos e chuvosos. Metodologicamente, recorreu-se à determinação de anos-padrão secos e chuvosos, à utilização das ferramentas de sensoriamento remoto, através do uso de fotografias aéreas, imagens de satélite e softwares de geoprocessamento, para o mapeamento das diferentes tipologias de barras e ilhas fluviais. Os resultados indicaram que, embora haja especificidades nos dados morfológicos de quantidade e área para as diferentes tipologias de barras fluviais e ilhas, em geral, a formação destas feições reflete as variações de vazão no baixo curso do rio Jaguaribe, como comprovam os dados do coeficiente de correlação linear de Pearson e do coeficiente de determinação. Ou seja, nos anos considerados secos, observou-se uma redução das feições devido à ausência de fluxos significativos para promover o transporte de sedimentos, ao passo que, em anos chuvosos, verificou-se um incremento de barras fluviais, sobretudo pela ação cíclica dos processos erosivos e sedimentares, que promoveram a distribuição e redistribuição dos sedimentos no canal. Em adição, verificou-se que a correlação é mais expressiva quando se considera a posição da barra no canal (lateral ou central), em detrimento da forma/geometria (pontal), cuja formação está diretamente associada a outros fatores geomorfológicos.

Hydrodynamic forces over the beach sediments are the main driving factors affecting the frequency and magnitude of morphological changes in beach systems. Most of the time, these driving factors act in a foreseeable way and do not represent any danger either to the coastal systems or to their population. However, hydrodynamic forces are also capable of inducing high morphodynamic behaviour on the beach profiles and very often in a short period of time; this endangers people and property and leads to system retreat. The most common consequences of the occurrence of this type of phenomena over the landforms are costal inundation and erosion. Still, many coastal systems, especially beach systems, have recovery mechanisms. Resilience levels have a very important role in the beach morphodynamic status and exposure to potential damaging event assessments. The Portuguese West coast has a high wave energetic environment during winter, where waves with 5 year recurrence period can reach 9.2m and storms are frequent. This research aims to access beach hazard and susceptibility to inundation and erosion. Three beach systems were selected and monitored applying sequential profiling methodology over a four year period (2004 -2007). Sta. Rita, Azul and Foz do Lizandro beaches are representative systems of the coastal stretch between Peniche and Cascais, which is a cliff dominated coast. Results from the monitoring campaigns are presented, including volume budgets, beach face slope changes, berm occurrence and heights and planimetric coastline dynamics. A hazard and susceptibility assessment diagram and zonation are proposed, including the parameterization of local flood (i.e. mean sea level, maximum spring tides, and surge and run -up levels) and erosion potentials (i.e. volume budget and beach planimetric dynamics).

DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATION OF A TRAVERSING MICRO-EROSION METER FOR SHORE PLATFORMS – The study of the shore platforms specific environmental conditions requires accurate equipment to measure erosion rates. In this paper, the construction details of a Traversing Micro-Erosion Meter (TMEM) is described. This TMEM adds some improvements to previous devices that aim to increase the data set collected, both in quality and in quantity. The installation and measurement procedures are described, as well as the advantages and limitations of this equipment. An experimental survey was carried out within the tidal range of the limestone shore platform of Tombadoiros, in a sector of the Portuguese western coast. For a 96 days period in the autumn/winter of 2000/2001, the mean rate of erosion at the site was 0,153mm/year. However, this result includes disturbances associated with the settlement of the black lichen Verrucaria maura in 58 % of the measuring points. It was found that the mean rate of erosion in the clean rock surface was 2,5 higher when compared to the area colonized by the lichen.

Vertical lowering (downwearing) of shore platform surfaces is a very important mechanism in their morphological evolution albeit much remains incompletely understood. The efficacy of mechanical and chemical weathering acting on a given substrate, together with erosional processes, influences downwearing rates. In order to determine the relationship between lithotypes and downwearing rates, data collected from a Transverse Micro-erosion Meter were obtained for shore platforms of three different calcareous lithotypes (biocalcarenite, calcarenite and carbonated siltstone) along the central Algarve coast (Southern Portugal). Downwearing rates ranged between 0.096 mm year− 1 and 1.676 mm year− 1 in biocalcarenite and weakly cemented calcarenite, respectively. In addition, physical properties of the rocks comprising the platforms were measured, including uniaxial compressive strength (as determined by the Point Load Test), porosity, and calcium carbonate content. The results show that downwearing depends primarily on the intrinsic properties of the substrate. Porosity, in particular, acts in two ways: (i) it tends to weaken the substrate; and, (ii) it controls the downward extent of the water percolation and therefore the depth of the weathering mantle subject to erosion by waves and currents.
