This waste was stockpiled in a stack 25 m high, covering 1200 ha of what was once a salt marsh. The weight of that enormous amount of waste produced active subsidence in the underlying sediment. Part of the sediment was injected into the marginal areas, where the load pressure is minor, causing significant vertical movement in the floor of the estuarine channel. This manuscript describes several surficial features using multibeam echosound. A crest formed by cones and a bulge area could be interpreted as injection structures. The evolution of the topographic position of the floor was also analyzed by comparing different records of the estuarine bed in the margins of the stockpile. The data in this work document the changes in the dynamics of the estuary in relation to these vertical movements. These changes in dynamicsled to erosion and deposition in various areas of the bed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs13214364","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,1]],"date-time":"2021-11-01T22:24:22Z","timestamp":1635805462000},"page":"4364","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Application of the Comparison of Multibeam Echo-Sound Records to the Study of Stability of a Toxic Waste Stockpile Located on the Margin of a Tidal System: Tinto Estuary, Huelva, SW Spain"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Berta M.","family":"Carro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Earth Sciences, University of Huelva, E-21007 Huelva, Spain"}]},{"given":"Alejandro","family":"Reyes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Earth Sciences, University of Huelva, E-21007 Huelva, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3148-7424","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juan A.","family":"Morales","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Earth Sciences, University of Huelva, E-21007 Huelva, Spain"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9","family":"Borrego","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Earth Sciences, University of Huelva, E-21007 Huelva, Spain"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Perillo, G.M.E.
