Variabilité de la température entre 1951 et 2014 en Allemagne associée à l’évolution de la floraison des pommiers.
2018
Apple tree bloom onset in Germany has advanced by 2 days/decade in 1951-2014 and by 3 days/decade in 1988-2014, behaving similarly in respect to its evolution since 1951 and its sensitivity to temperature to other species’ phenological spring phases. The evolution however was not linear; by conducting a split moving-window dissimilarity analysis (SMWDA) we were able to detect the “break-period” 1987-1989 which coincides with a breakpoint that has been identified in the phases of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). We observed distinct spatial patterns with apple bloom advancing from southwest to northeast and, most interestingly, a longitudinal gradient in the trend of apple bloom onset r…
CAROLS campaigns 2009: First Results
2010
International audience; The CAROLS, L band radiometer, is built and designed as a copy of EMIRAD II radiometer of DTU team. It is a Correlation radiometer with direct sampling and fully polarimetric (i.e 4 Stockes). It will be used in conjunction with other airborne instruments (in particular the C-Band scatterometer (STORM) and IEEEC GPS system, Infrared CIMEL radiometer and one visible camera), in coordination with in situ field campaigns for SMOS CAL/VAL. The instruments are implemented on board the French research airplane ATR42. A scientific campaign with thirteen flights is realized over south-western France, Valencia site and Bay of Biscay (Atlantic Ocean) in spring 2009. In order to…
Sport and Quality of Life
2022
Negli ultimi trent’anni lo sport ha assunto un significato molto rilevante nella vita delle persone e, seppure con notevoli differenze, sia nei paesi a sviluppo economico avanzato, sia in quelli in via di sviluppo. A livello individuale, esso ha costituito un’area di investimento identitario quando ha assunto la forma di sport spettacolo del quale fruire, alimentando la pratica del tifo e il fandom o costituendo il modello di uno stile di vita vincente; ma anche quando ha assunto la forma di pratica del tempo libero attraverso la quale tenersi in forma, facendo crescere, in questo caso, la diffusione di una cultura della salute e del benessere. Si tratta di due modalità di approcciare al co…
Integrated stratigraphy of the Oxfordian global stratotype section and point (GSSP) candidate in the Subalpine Basin (SE France).
2014
44 pages; International audience; An integrated biostratigraphic approach, based on ammonites, calcareous nannofossils, dinoflagellates, combined with sedimentology, carbon-isotope and physical stratigraphy, is proposed for the Subalpine Basin (Thuoux and Saint-Pierre d'Argençon sections). Within the expanded marl deposits of the Terres Noires Fm., the Callovian-Oxfordian boundary is particularly well defined by ammonite taxa from different families (i.e. Cardioceratidae, Oppeliidae, Aspidoceratidae and Perisphinctidae), calcareous nannoplankton (first occurrence of large-sized Stephanolithion bigotii) and dinoflagellate cysts (first occurrence of Wanaea fimbriata). This precise biostratigr…
Sedimentological and diagenetic influences on low permeability properties of the Middle Jurassic limestones (Paris Basin, France)
2009
A detailed sedimentological, geochemical and mineralogical study is carried out on the Early Bajocian to Early Callovian (Middle Jurassic) limestones of the Paris Basin. Deposits include 18 lithofacies which are stacked into 10 third-order depositional sequences. Our geochemical study including a compilation of bibliographic data allows us to refine the existing sea surface palaeotemperature pattern. A cooling from the latest Early Bajocian to the Late Bajocian and a subsequent warming from the earliest Callovian to the Early/Middle Callovian transition are described using a proxy of sea surface temperatures. Together with δ13C and mineralogical data, our new δ18O values suggest a palaeo-cl…

Mesures continues du flux d'érosion éolienne sur les champs de Mil traditionnels au Sud-Ouest du Niger : Impacts des résidus de culture.
2010
International audience; Au Sahel, l'effet des résidus de culture sur l'érosion éolienne, a été essentiellement étudié avec des taux de recouvrement supérieurs à la réalité. La présente étude vise à déterminer l'impact sur l'érosion des couverts réellement rencontrés en milieu paysan. Pour cela, des suivis continus de flux d'érosion éolienne ont été effectués pendant trois campagnes agricoles sur deux parcelles de même taille (1,5 ha) présentant des états de surface contrastés: PA avec une surface nue et PB cultivée traditionnellement en mil. Sur le champ traditionnel, les résidus de cultures empêchent toute érosion au coeur de la saison sèche et diminuent de plus de trois fois le flux horiz…
Six années de suivi du flux d'érosion éolienne sur un sol sableux cultivé au Sahel : Impacts des résidus de culture et de l'encroûtement
2013
In the Sahel, wind erosion occurs particularly in cultivated fields. This work was leaded at Banizoumbou in Niger where wind erosion fluxes have been measured for six years. The aims of this study was i) to monitor crop residues cover on traditional field and to quantify its influence on wind erosion ii) to characterize the impacts of soils crusting on erosion flux, iii) to characterize the impact of herbaceous strips on wind flux. Results showed that crop residues efficiently prevent cultivated fields from wind erosion during the dry season (January to April) and considerably reduce erosion fluxes at the beginning of the rainy season (May to July). Under a minimal crop residues cover rate …

Évolution des structures spatiales récurrentes des températures quotidiennes en Bourgogne.
2011
6 pages; International audience; L’objectif est de définir, à partir de 24 stations météorologiques, différentes structures spatiales récurrentes de larépartition des températures minimales (Tn) et maximales (Tx) en Bourgogne. Après avoir désaisonnalisé les séries detempératures, une Classification Hiérarchique Ascendante (CHA) est utilisée pour regrouper les jours ayant des structuresspatiales similaires. Huit classes ont été définies, quatre pour les Tn et quatre pour les Tx. Pour les deux variables, ellesidentifient les cas de gradient thermique (i) Nord-Ouest/Sud-Est, (ii) Sud-Est/Nord-Ouest, (iii) altitudinal positif et (iv)altitudinal négatif. Les fréquences d’occurrences de ces struc…
