Ignacio Alonso Bilbao

Ignacio Alonso Bilbao is Professor at University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, investigating coastal processes in island environments. His research examines sedimentary dynamics and erosion management strategies.

Alonso's work focuses on beach-dune interactions, sediment transport pathways, and shoreline evolution in volcanic island settings. Recent publications develop methods using radionuclide tracers to quantify sediment movements and analyze multi-decadal shoreline changes. His coastal management research evaluates nature-based solutions for erosion control in tourist destinations.

Collaborative projects investigate sediment budgets for Canary Island beaches and develop predictive models for coastal evolution under changing climate conditions. Alonso's field studies measure hydrodynamic forces on mixed sediment beaches and document storm impacts on coastal morphology.
