Figure 1: a) Map of the Ría de Vigo (NW Spain) showing the study area; b) Location of the SS10 cores (green dot) together with the SSMPA (blue dot) and the C2 (pink dot) cores at San Simón Bay. Cores SSMPA and C2 were collected in previous studies [8-9]and they were used for comparison. Note that these cores are close to Pontesa, the former ceramic factory (white rectangle).
