RAMONA MARIA FERNANDES GRADUATED IN LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE- LAND LANDSCAPE AND HERITAGE

My fascination with design has been apparent since childhood—the manifestation of shapes, the vitality they acquire, the intricate mechanics of structures, and the interconnectedness of all things.

As a recent Landscape Architecture graduate, I approach my work with an open mind, always seeking new possibilities. It would be an honor to expand my knowledge, interact with individuals from diverse backgrounds, and refine my understanding of contemporary and future design practices. I am ready to take on any assigned task, committed to learning, and dedicated to contributing effectively to projects. +39 3202634160 / +33 754533444

DRAWING SOFTWARE (AUTOCAD)

MAPPING SOFTWARE (QGIS)

To assist the landscape architecture and urban planning team, I contributed by creating a range of visuals, including maps, CAD drawings, and digital collages. These visuals aimed to demonstrate diverse strategies for coastal climate change adaptation. Key focal points included landscape architecture design tools, coastal resilience, urban climate adaptation strategies, and green infrastructure. These visuals were presented at an exhibition, sparking insightful discussions among residents and city officials.

Climate Change Vulnerability on the Coast of the Region of Murcia Intervention Proposal Construction of a perpendicular dike and dynamic regeneration

Vulnerability to coastal climate change in the Region of Murcia, Spain

- Reclamation of land occupied by unprotected structures on dunes to restore the Maritime Terrestrial Public Domain.

- Construction of a 120-meter support dike along Saladero Avenue for sediment barrier and stabilization of El Mojón's coastal line.

- Dynamic regeneration, supported by the dike, triggered when the beach width falls below 10 meters, ensuring a minimum sustainable width of 30 meters.

- Proactive regeneration of 150,000m3 presently to secure the minimum beach width by mid-century, considering climate scenarios, especially the RCP8.5 scenario with a 50% percentile sea-level rise.

Structures for Sediment Control Coastal zones represent highly dynamic ecosystems subject to continuous transformations influenced by both natural processes and human activities.

- In an extreme scenario (H++), an additional 143,000m3 is foreseen by 2045.

- Calculations derived from meticulous numerical modeling, considering sediment transport dynamics based on five climate models.

- The integrated approach monitors a numerical risk indicator, beach width, over time, triggering regenerations when exceeding predefined thresholds.

- Implementing these measures reduces flooding during a 100-year return period by 22%.

- Increases dry beach surface by 27%, crucial for enhancing coastal resilience to climate change impacts.

La Manga del Mar Menor is a coastal stretch situated in the southeastern part of the Iberian Peninsula, within the Region of Murcia. Stretching approximately 20 kilometers in length and varying in width from 100 to 1,200 meters, it spans from Cape Palos to the Salinas and Arenales of San Pedro del Pinatar.

This geographical feature is instrumental in the formation of the Mar Menor, Spain's largest coastal lagoon. La Manga and the Mar Menor together constitute a distinctive geomorphological and ecological entity, facing pressures from urban development and tourism-related activities.

Consequently, it stands as a vulnerable element exposed to coastal impacts such as erosion and flooding arising from climate change.

In response to these challenges, efforts have been undertaken to disseminate knowledge regarding the repercussions of climate change, detailing the ongoing initiatives and proposed measures.

These endeavors are part of a collaborative initiative between the Autonomous Community of Murcia and the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Food, operating under the framework of the Plan to Promote the Environment for Adaptation to Climate Change (PIMA Adapta Costas).

Coastal Defense Structures In vulnerable coastal areas, constructing coastal defenses stabilizes the land-sea border, reducing flood risk amid climate change impacts.

Restoration of ecosystem services Beach ecosystem service restoration, crucial amid human activity and storms, involves controlled sediment recharges to preserve functions like summer recreation.

SKILLS ACQUIRED

Tools for Reducing Exposure Exposure reduction tools include recovering the Maritime Terrestrial Public Domain within a controlled partial abandonment strategy.
