Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Des investigations sismiques et sédimentologiques ont été entreprises dans le but d'étudier l'évolution sédimentaire de la région au large de Nyon, en relation avec les processus lacustres et les changements climatiques qui ont eu lieu depuis le retrait du glacier du Rhône (18000 années BP) jusqu' à aujourd'hui. La source des sédiments a progressivement changé des eaux de fonte glaciaires aux cours d'eau locaux et un cône deltaïque, alimenté par les apports de la Promenthouse, de l'Asse et du Boiron, a commencé à se former dans la partie occidentale du Lac Léman. D'importants changements des apports sédimentaires ont eu lieu au cours de l'Holocène: six différents lobes deltaïques, progradant sur les sédiments tardiglaciaires, ont été reconnus au milieu du bassin par l'analyse séismostratigraphique. L'étude des propriétés magnétiques des séquences sédimentaires récoltées a fourni une courbe des variations séculaires du champ magnétique terrestre pour les derniers 16000 ans.

Book Synopsis Geochronological, Structural, Isotopes and Fluid Inclusion Constraints of the Polymetallic Domo de Yauli District, Peru by : Sébastien Beuchat
Download or read book Geochronological, Structural, Isotopes and Fluid Inclusion Constraints of the Polymetallic Domo de Yauli District, Peru written by Sébastien Beuchat and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'origine des gisements polymétalliques du Domo de Yauli est liée au magmatisme Miocène ayant affecté les Andes péruviennes. Cette étude met en évidence les relations géochronologiques et structurales entre les intrusions et les corps minéralisés, ainsi que les caractéristiques des fluides hydrothermaux. Les âges obtenus sur les intrusions et les minéralisations indiquent un système pulsé et répétitif durant 9 Ma, alors que les contraintes associées à la formation des gisements montrent un champ hétérogène probablement lié à l'influence de linéaments crustaux. Les rapports isotopiques de Sr, Pb, O et H associés à l'étude des inclusions fluides, par microthermométrie, spectroscopie Raman et LA-ICP-MS, révèlent l'influence d'au moins trois fluides d'origines et de caractéristiques différentes. Leur mélange a conduit à la formation des gisements, alors que les éléments économiquement intéressants ont uniquement été apportés par le fluide s'étant séparé du magma.

Download or read book The Aral Sea written by Philip Micklin and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-22 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is structured into six core parts. The first part sets the scene and explains how the use of Aral basin water resources, primarily used for irrigation, have destroyed the Aral Sea. The team explains how spheres and events interact and the related problems. Part 2 examines the social consequences of the ecological catastrophe and the affect of the Aral Sea desiccation on cultural and economic conditions of near Aral region. Part 3 explores the scientific causes of the destruction using detailed analyses and data plus some of their own research spanning aquatic biology, terrestrial biology, hydrology, water management and biodiversity. They also share some of the latest archaeological discoveries and paleobotanical analysis to delineate past levels and characteristics of the Aral Sea. There is particular focus on modern remote sensing and GIS techniques and how they can monitor the Aral Sea and the environment. Part 4 discusses regional and international initiatives to mitigate human and ecological problems of the Aral Sea and the wider political and economic consequences. With thorough insight of the total environment cost, the final chapters of the book will provide lessons for the future. There are insightful case studies throughout. Multidisciplinary by nature, all titles in our new reference book series will explore significant changes within the Earth’s ecosystems and to some extent, and will tackle ways to think about our changing environment.
Book Synopsis The Spanish Coastal Systems by : Juan A. Morales
Download or read book The Spanish Coastal Systems written by Juan A. Morales and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 809 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph presents the state of art of the geologic knowledge about the Spanish coast obtained through scientific research in the last 30 years.From a general point of view, coasts are the most quickly changing systems of the Earth. This is critical, since many human resources, such as the main part of economic and social activities, are located in the coastal areas. Especially in the case of Spain these coasts include cities, wide industrial areas (including harbor complexes), important ecologic systems, and our main economic resource: tourism. Understanding the dynamic functioning of each element of this coast is vital for correct future coastal management, so as to solve problems derived from bad plans developed in the last decades of the twentieth century. This is a valuable text for advanced graduate students and coastal researchers, which connects the specific dynamic functioning of the main Spanish coastal environments and their relationships with human activities.
Book Synopsis Wetland Carbon and Environmental Management by : Ken W. Krauss
Download or read book Wetland Carbon and Environmental Management written by Ken W. Krauss and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-11-23 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explores how the management of wetlands can influence carbon storage and fluxes. Wetlands are vital natural assets, including their ability to take-up atmospheric carbon and restrict subsequent carbon loss to facilitate long-term storage. They can be deliberately managed to provide a natural solution to mitigate climate change, as well as to help offset direct losses of wetlands from various land-use changes and natural drivers. Wetland Carbon and Environmental Management presents a collection of wetland research studies from around the world to demonstrate how environmental management can improve carbon sequestration while enhancing wetland health and function. Volume highlights include: Overview of carbon storage in the landscape Introduction to wetland management practices Comparisons of natural, managed, and converted wetlands Impact of wetland management on carbon storage or loss Techniques for scientific assessment of wetland carbon processes Case studies covering tropical, coastal, inland, and northern wetlands Primer for carbon offset trading programs and how wetlands might contribute The American Geophysical Union promotes discovery in Earth and space science for the benefit of humanity.Its publications disseminate scientific knowledge and provide resources for researchers, students, and professionals.
