Abstract
Benthic foraminiferal assemblages of two long boreholes and one short core drilled in the Deba estuary were studied for environmental interpretation of its sedimentary record. Additional geochemical analyses in the short core, together with the microfaunal and geochemical analysis of eight surface samples along the estuary were also performed. The results allow for the reconstruction of the Deba estuary environment during the Holocene and Anthropocene. The Holocene record is mainly controlled by the relative sea-level rise, whereas the surface samples and the short core exhibit human influence in the most recent sediments.
