Evidence of aerial volcanic activity during the Valanginian along the northern Tethys margin.
2009
7 pages; International audience; Stratigraphic measurement and sampling on three sections (Vergol, La Charce, and Montclus) through Valanginian deposits from the Vocontian Basin (southeastern France) reveals the occurrence of centimetre thick ochre-coloured layers, which can be correlated from one section to another. At least twelve of these are identified in sediments dated from the Pertransiens to Furcillata ammonite Zones. These horizons appear similar to previously described Oxfordian and Aptian bentonites, also from the Vocontian Basin. Clay-mineralogical and geochemical data are similar in the Valanginian ochre horizons and their enclosing marls except in one of these that shows a cla…
Astrochronology of the Valanginian Stage from reference sections (Vocontian Basin, France) and palaeoenvironmental implications for the Weissert Even…
2013
12 pages; International audience; High-resolution gamma-ray measurements performed on five biostratigraphically well-dated reference sections from the Vocontian Basin (south-eastern France) are used to develop a new astrochronology of the Valanginian Stage and its subdivisions (i.e. ammonite and calcareous nannofossil zones and subzones). Spectral analyses show a pervasive dominance of 405-kyr eccentricity cycles with the expression of 100-kyr eccentricity, obliquity and precession. Previous rough estimates of Valanginian Stage duration ranged from 3.9 to 6.5 myr but were generally based on less reliable or indirect methods. This study provides a precise duration of 5.08 myr, tuning the ser…
Community replacement of neritic carbonate organisms during the late Valanginian platform demise: a new record from the Provence Platform.
2012
24 pages; International audience; The Valanginian is marked by amajor platform demise inducing a hiatus in the northern Tethyan neritic carbonate record from the top of the lower Valanginian to the lower Hauterivian. New biostratigraphic and chemostratigraphic data from the Ollioules section (Provence Platform, southern France) are presented here, demonstrating that a large part of the upper Valanginian is preserved in an inner platform environment. The thick, upper Valanginian, aggrading carbonate succession is observed in an aborted rift domain, implying relatively low subsidence. In this context, a relatively long-term sea-level rise was required to sustain a keep-up style of carbonate p…
Variations morphologiques des Toxaster (Echinoida : Spatangoida) en regard des fluctuations spatiales (Arc de Castellane, SE France) et temporelles (…
2006
Resume L'impact du milieu sedimentaire sur l'installation, la croissance et la morphologie de spatangues primitifs du Cretace inferieur, est analyse chez le genre Toxaster dans le Valanginien et l'Hauterivien de l'Arc de Castellane au Nord de la plate-forme provencale. Les analyses concernent la dimension spatiale a partir de l'etude comparative de six populations isochrones de Toxaster granosus kiliani de la biozone a Verrucosum distribuees le long d'un gradient proximo-distal, puis la dimension temporelle a partir de l'etude d'une coupe de reference (Carajuan) couvrant l'intervalle stratigraphique Valanginien superieur–Hauterivien superieur et concernant principalement les especes T. gran…
The Valanginian isotope event: a complex suite of palaeoenvironmental perturbations.
2011
17 pages; International audience; The Valanginian records a severe crisis of carbonate systems, both on platforms and in the pelagic realm. This crisis is roughly concomitant with the Weissert Event, characterized by a positive δ13C excursion of about 2‰in marine carbonates. However, it is unclear if the response of these two carbonate systems to the global perturbations is contemporaneous, or if they react differently. For this purpose, accumulation rates of pelagic carbonates produced by nannofossils and of platform-derived carbonates have been quantified in a hemipelagic environment (the Vocontian Basin, SE France) that has the potential to record the reaction of both shallow-water and p…
Competition between marine mammals and fisheries in contemporary harvested marine ecosystems
2019
Competitive interactions between marine mammals and fisheries represent some of the most complex challenges in marine resource management worldwide. The development of commercial fisheries and recovering marine mammal populations have contributed to a decrease in fish availability. Whilst ecosystem-based fisheries management (EBFM) can counteract this decrease, achieving the EBFM objectives faces certain major obstacles including insufficient or unreliable data, inapplicable assessment models, as well as inadequate management decisions that do not account for fisheries-induced morphological alterations (FIMA) and marine mammal management. Despite a body of evidence addressing various aspect…
Monitoring of ticks and tick-borne pathogens through a nationwide research station network in Finland.
2020
In 2015 a long-term, nationwide tick and tick-borne pathogen (TBP) monitoring project was started by the Finnish Tick Project and the Finnish Research Station network (RESTAT), with the goal of producing temporally and geographically extensive data regarding exophilic ticks in Finland. In the current study, we present results from the first four years of this collaboration. Ticks were collected by cloth dragging from 11 research stations across Finland in May September 2015-2018 (2012-2018 in Seili). Collected ticks were screened for twelve different pathogens by qPCR: Borrelia afzelii, Borrelia garinii, Borrelia valaisiana, Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto, Borrelia miyamotoi, Babesia sp…
La acción del viento sobre la distribución microtopográfica de las comunidades vegetales de las montañas próximas al litoral levantino
1985
Se comenta la variación de los vientos con respecto de los macizos de Javalambre (2020 m) y Peñagolosa (1814 m), así como la seriación altitudinal en las laderas Nordeste y Este del Javalambre relacionándola con los vientos procedentes del mar. También se presentan esquemas de la estructura interna del Junipero sabinae-Pinetum sylvestris Rivas Goday & Borja 1961, en las zonas cacuminales del Javalambre y del Erodio-Erinaceetum. Variation winds regard to Javalambre (2020 m) and Peñagolosa (1814 m) mountains, as soon as altitudinal series on the Javalambre Norheast and East slope are commented. Also, Junipero sabinae-Pinetum sylvestris Rivas Goday & Borja 1961, on the Javalambre top, and Erod…
Modelos y algoritmos de predicción fuzzy
2019
En un mundo tan globalizado la complejidad macro-económica, la volatilidad en los mercados y la estabilidad político-social de un país, afectan directamente a las cotizaciones de los valores bursátiles del país de referencia y añaden complejidad a la toma de decisiones. La riqueza de un análisis o inferencia sobre las cotizaciones de valores en mercados bursátiles tiene que servir como soporte para la toma de decisiones, por lo que no sólo han de basarse en una predicción puntual, de ahí radica la gran relevancia de las series temporales difusas. Ya que las series temporales difusas pueden tratar entornos donde hay incertidumbre en los datos (comportamientos o relaciones entre los datos) y/…
Ferromagnetic coupled μ-phenoxo-μ-carboxylato heterodinuclear complexes based on the Cr(salen) moiety: Structural and magnetic characterization
2009
The synthesis, crystal structure, and magneto-chemical characterization of two new unprecedented μ-phenoxo-μ-carboxylato heterodinuclear complexes based on the Cr(salen) moiety (salen = N,N′-bis(salicylidene)ethylenediamine), [MII(O2C(CH3)3)(OH2)2(μ-O2C(CH3)3)(μ-salen)CrIII(O2C(CH3)3)], M = Ni (2), Co(3) are reported. The dinuclear complexes were obtained starting from the mononuclear trans-[Cr(salen)(CN)2]PPh4 (1), whose crystal structure is also reported. They show a trans arrangement of the Cr(salen) unit, bridging through the phenolate O atoms to a second metal center. An additional μ2-O2-carboxylato bridge and a further monodentating carboxylate ligand complete the roughly octahedral C…
