Melting of sediments in the deep mantle produces saline fluid inclusions in diamonds.
2019
We demonstrate the formation of highly saline mantle fluids by the reaction of subducted sediment with peridotite.

Fractal dimension versus density of built-up surfaces in the periphery of Brussels
2007
International audience; This paper aims at showing the usefulness of the fractal dimension for characterizing the spatial structure of the built-up surfaces within the periurban fringe. We first discuss our methodology and expectations in terms of operationality of the fractal dimension theoretically and geometrically. An empirical analysis is then performed on the southern periphery of Brussels (Brabant Wallon). The empirical analysis is divided into two parts: first, the effect of the size and shape of the windows on the fractal measures is empirically evaluated; this leads to a methodological discussion about the importance of the scale of analysis as well as the real sense of fractality…
Deux frères scientifiques de renom : Fernand et Robert de Montessus de Ballore
2011
National audience; Le premier des deux frères, Fernand " Bernard de Montessus de Ballore ", est l'un des précurseurs de la séismologie, selon le terme de l'époque : il a établi par des relevés rigoureux et nombreux que les tremblements de terre étaient en relation avec la géologie et non avec les phases de la lune ou les volcans souterrains comme on le supposait au début du XXe siècle. En 2006, le Laboratoire International Montessus de Ballore est créé entre le CNRS-INSU et l'Université du Chili à Santiago. Le second, Robert " Bernard de Montessus de Ballore ", a œuvré pour les mathématiques : il a reçu un Grand Prix de l'Académie des Sciences en 1906 pour ses travaux dans le domaine des fr…
Single crystal EXAFS at high pressure
2000
Abstract We present a new technique for structure characterization under high pressure conditions. The use of an undulator beam of the third-generation ESRF source of synchrotron radiation has enabled the first single crystal EXAFS experiments at high pressure using a diamond anvil cell as pressure generator. Taking advantage of the linear polarization of X-rays the technique becomes an orientation-selective probe of the local structure of materials. We describe the principle of the technique and some applications.
Geostatistical computing of acoustic maps in the presence of barriers
2009
Acoustic maps are the main diagnostic tools used by authorities for addressing the growing problem of urban acoustic contamination. Geostatistics models phenomena with spatial variation, but restricted to homogeneous prediction regions. The presence of barriers such as buildings introduces discontinuities in prediction areas. In this paper we investigate how to incorporate information of a geographical nature into the process of geostatistical prediction. In addition, we study the use of a Cost-Based distance to quantify the correlation between locations.
Ca-rich carbonates associated with ultrabasic-ultramafic melts. Carbonatite or limestone xenoliths? A case study from the late Miocene Morron de Vill…
2016
The volcanic products of the late Miocene Morron de Villamayor volcano (Calatrava Volcanic Field, central Spain) are known for being one of the few outcrops of leucitites in the entire circum-Mediterranean area. These rocks are important because aragonite of mantle origin has been reported as inclusion in olivine macrocrysts. We use petrographic observations, mineral compositions, as well as oxygen and carbon isotope ratios coupled with experimental petrology to understand the origin of carbonate phase in these olivine-phyric rocks. Groundmass and macrocryst olivines range from δ18OVSMOW of +4.8‰, typical of mantle olivine values, to +7.4‰, indicating contamination by sedimentary carbonate.…
