Abstract:
AbstractPlateau icefields occur commonly in glacierized areas and not uncommonly in glaciated mountains. We report on a glacierized area of plateaux and valleys centred round the highest peak Jiehkkevárri (1833 m) in the maritime Lyngen Alps, North Norway. Some valley glaciers are fed by steep, narrow plateau glacier outlets and/or ice avalanching from the plateaux over precipitous cliffs. Plateaux must therefore be considered as “contributing areas”, if they supply ice to valley systems below. Equilibrium line altitudes (ELAs) are calculated for the valley glaciers during the Little Ice Age (LIA), accounting for both input and no input of ice from plateaux above. The results show that ELAs may be at significantly higher altitudes when plateau/x are contributing ice mass. The response of plateau glaciers to climate amelioration since the end of the LIA is somewhat different to that of valley glaciers, which appear to be retreating markedly. These findings have significant implications for the interpretation of moraine systems, glacier dynamics, the construction and reconstruction of present and former ELAs, and palaeoclimates in glacierized and glaciated mountain plateau areas.

Abstract:
A Corophium-bed characterized by a mosaic of emerged areas and tidal pools during low water was established on an intertidal flat in the southern part of the Danish Wadden Sea. In spring 1990, the plateaux harboured relatively high densities of the amphipod Corophium volutator, whereas the amphipods were almost absent in the pools. Following a parasite-induced mass-mortality in the population of Corophium, summer 1990, the plateaux of the bed were subjected to sediment erosion. The heterogeneous plateau-pool structure disappeared, accompanied by increased median particle diameter and decreased silt content in the former plateau sediment. These events were accompanied by increased chlorophyll-a concentrations in the sediment of both plateau and pool areas.The results suggest Corophium volutator to be the single most important organism stabilizing the plateau sediment, and hence, the heterogeneous topographic structure of the Corophium-bed. It is proposed that the stabilizing effect of Corophium burrows also in deeper sediment strata may outweigh the surface stabilizing influence of epipelic diatoms, as well as the negative effect of amphipods eating the diatoms, in non-cohesive coarser sediments.

Abstract:
The unruled development of construction land, along with the disordered planning and deteriorating living environment, etc. has long been prevalent in those small towns in the Qinghai- Tibet Plateau. This paper, thus, conducts some on-the-spot investigations and analyses of Tanggula town. The paper departs from the disparities between the current conditions of Tanggula town and the standards of eco- demonstration zone, proposing some strategies in the aspects of development direction, land use layout, facility layout, architecture and the town's features, aiming to exert positive influence upon the planning of small towns in plateaux.

Abstract:
We studied the pattern of distribution of the common genet (Genetta genetta) in areas in mountains and plains of central Spain, in the middle of the range of the species. We evaluated the role of temperature, rainfall, and habitat features in determining the ecological limits of genet distribution. Genets were very scarce on plateaux and the upper parts of the mountains, but were widely distributed in lower mountain areas. Genets were present in areas with abundant shrub cover, high mean of the mean minimum temperature and high mean of mean winter temperatures. Survey routes at the same altitude (<1000 m) in the mountains (genets abundant) and on the plateaux (genets very scarce) also differed in some of these variables, with low values on the plateaux for shrub cover, mean of the mean minimum temperatures, mean of the mean winter temperatures, and annual rainfall. Genets originated in Africa, therefore they are probably ill-adapted (morphologically and physiologically) for the cold conditions predominating in most of central Spain. Their preference for shrubby habitats may be linked to a greater availability of food and low risk of predation. Intermediate levels of rainfall may be correlated with higher temperatures, the key factor hypothesized to affect the distribution of this species. The distribution of the common genet fits a multimodal model, with peaks (presence) and valleys (absence) in the middle of its range, indicating that location in a particular part of the range is not a prior indicator of habitat suitability for the species.

Abstract:
The objective of this study was to evaluate the nutritional status of children under 5 years old in the households of farmers, fishermen and fish farmers in the areas of Sangha, Cuvette, Cuvette-Ouest and Plateaux. The correlation between the nutritional status of the children and the main activities of the households was established by the anthropometric measurements of nutritional status from the weight/age/height indices. The results showed that the prevalence of the three types of malnutrition in children from 0 to 59 months were 9.8% for underweight, 19.2% for stunting and 8.9% for wasting. Nevertheless, they presented spatial variations in the studied areas. The malnutrition incidence was higher in girls in Cuvette, Cuvette-Ouest and Plateaux, compared to boys. In contrary to this, in Sangha the malnutrition incidence was detected higher in boys than in girls. The children of the households surveyed were victims of the three types of malnutrition. Overall, the main activity of the household surveyed had an influence on the nutritional status of the child. However, this influence varied according to the type of malnutrition.

AbstractThe appearance of a diurnal hysteresis in snow albedo is a widely reported phenomenon. This note discusses the relative importance of two separate effects: surface morphosis and surface irregularities (sastrugi). It is concluded that surface morphosis is the more important effect of the two in the region of the marginal cryosphere. Surface irregularities probably are the dominant influence only on permanent cryospheric areas such as the Greenland and Antarctic plateaux.

We measure the IQHE on macroscopic (1.5 cm × 1.5 cm) "quick and dirty" prepared III–V heterostructure samples with van der Pauw and modified Corbino geometries at 1.3 K. We compare our results with (i) data taken on smaller specimens, among them samples with a standard Hall bar geometry, (ii) results of our numerical analysis taking inhomogenities of the 2DEG into account. Our main finding is a confirmation of the expected robustness of the IQHE which favors the development of wide plateaux for small filling factors and very large samples sizes (here with areas 10 000 times larger than in standard arrangements).

Abstract:
The thermal regime of Algeria and Tunisia and its relation to hydrodynamics is studied by means of available geological and geothermal, and petroleum data. Heat flow densities in the area range from [Formula: see text] to [Formula: see text]. Several Paleozoic to Tertiary aquifers have been identified, together with potential recharge and discharge areas. The area is a transition zone between the African and European plates. The more tectonically active northern Alpine domain does not exhibit an obvious geothermal trend, and high heat flow anomalies that occur there may be related to structure rather than hydrodynamics. The more stable southern Saharan tectonic domain, with background heat flow of approximately [Formula: see text], exhibits anomalous zones correlated to the hydrodynamic regime with low values in recharge areas (Algerian Tinrhert and High Plateaux) and values in discharge areas (Tunisian Jeffara and Algerian Tademait). The hydrodynamic perturbation to the normal heat flow is estimated to be as great as [Formula: see text] in recharge and discharge zones.

Full text
Abstract:
Diurnal and nocturnal habitat use was determined from walk transect counts in a 40 000 ha study area in SE Queensland containing 3 land systems: (a) alluvial flats mainly clear of natural vegetation; (b) hills extending from the alluvial flats with open forest; and (c) plateaux with grassy and shrubby open forest. Habitat utilization was examined in relation to 3 vegetation variables (shrub density, live tree density and dead tree density) and 3 topographic variables (altitude, aspect and slope). Utilization was most consistent between day and night for live tree density and slope, being biased toward areas of moderate live tree density and against flat areas at both times. A preference for areas with moderate shrub density was more pronounced during the day than at night. Areas with moderate dead tree density were strongly preferred over areas with low dead tree density during the day, but at night there was no strong bias for or against areas with dead trees. M. parryi avoided very low altitudes at all times. Utilization of higher areas varied day and night, a diurnal preference for higher altitudes being ameliorated by some apparent downhill movement to lower slopes at night. A preference during the day for north and west aspects was not evident at night.

Abstract:
The lithostratigraphy and Pliensbachian ammonite fauna of a sequence of Pliensbachian to Bajocian sedimentary rocks, informally referred to here as the Spatsizi Group, from the Spatsizi map-area (104 H) in north-central British Columbia are examined in this thesis. Twenty Five species of ammonites representing fifteen genera from Pliensbachian rocks of the Spatsizi Group are described and their stratigraphic ranges in the thesis area determined. The Spatsizi fauna is comprised primarily of ammonites of Tethyan aspect and also contains elements endemic to the East Pacific faunal realm. The Spatsizi fauna is located on the northern half of the Stikine terrane of the western Cordilleran eugeocline, and is surrounded by biogeographically related faunas containing ammonites of Boreal affinity in addition to Tethyan and East Pacific forms, indicating that northern Stikinia occupied a position within the mixed Boreal/Tethyan zone of the eastern Pacific region during the Pliensbachian. Subsequent tectonic displacement of Stikinia transported it northward to its present position. The Spatsizi Group is informally defined and is divided into five informal formations; the Joan, Eaglenest Gladys, Groves, and Walker Formations. Each formation reflects deposition in a different sedimentary environment affected by varying degrees of volcanic (epiclastic or pyroclastic) input Rocks of the Spatsizi Group represent the basinward sedimentary equivalents to the coeval Toodoggone volcanics that formed along the southern flank of the Stikine Arch. Facies transitions from the Stikine Arch in the north to the sedimentary basin in the south are best developed in sediments deposited during Pliensbachian and Early Toarcian times, when epiclastic sands and conglomerates accumulating on the southern flank of the arch graded southward into silts and muds in the basin. Two phases of non-coaxial deformation folded and faulted the rocks in the thesis map area. Deformation was probably related to interaction between the Stikinia and the North American continental margin during accretion.

Abstract:
This study explores how students in rural areas of Tennessee's Cumberland Plateau area perceive engineering as a future career. This area is a portion of the greater Appalachian region, which has historically, faced disproportionate economic struggles when compared to other areas of the United States. However, little research on career choice exists outside of the coal producing areas of Central Appalachia. This research, in contrast, focuses on rural counties without interstate access, situated along the Cumberland Plateau in Tennessee, an area with an economy historically based in manufacturing. This research focuses on understanding students' perceptions of engineering as a future career and on factors that support and inhibit the development of these perceptions. To understand these perceptions, the study used qualitative, semi-structured interviews, situated in a Social Constructivist worldview, informed by the Future Possible Selves framework. Participants include 27 high school students, 7 college engineering students, and 5 college students who had exposure to engineering through a formal program but are currently enrolled in another major. Results of the study show that without access to formal programs or professionals to expose them to engineering, participants did not have a clear perception of engineering, and were not likely to pursue this career. Exposure through a formal program seemed to spark the start of engineering future possible self development by aligning engineering with activities participants enjoy. However, these participants often also believed that they lacked some key "ability" needed to become an engineer. Participants who had access to both formal programs and professionals were able to provide a clear description of potential engineering careers, aligning such careers with activities they enjoyed and, importantly, with desired attributes of their future. In addition, participants typically described relationships with professionals as mitigating the fear that an engineering career was beyond their "ability." These results provide evidence, that in this study area, printed materials and programs are not enough; people clearly make the difference in helping students develop a clear perception of engineering as a viable future career choice. This result has multiple implications for engineering educators and industries interested in K-12 outreach.

Abstract:
Une demande mondiale grandissante en gaz naturel pousse à exploiter des ressources de plus en plus acides (concentration des gaz acides pouvant atteindre 20% en volume). Le procédé de traitement de gaz par des solutions d'amines, existant depuis plus de 50 ans, est le plus répandu pour éliminer les composants acides (CO2, H2S, mercaptans…). Ce procédé comporte deux unités principales : une colonne d'absorption gaz liquide à contre-courant pour la séparation des composants acides du gaz et une colonne de régénération du solvant chargé. On recherche une optimisation du design, en particulier de l'absorbeur, en vue de réduire les couts et d'augmenter l'efficacité. Dans la colonne d'absorption, le transfert de matière s'avère limitant par rapport à la thermodynamique. Ainsi l'optimisation du design de cette unité passe par une maitrise des paramètres hydrodynamiques et de transfert des contacteurs utilisés dans les colonnes. Plusieurs études existantes sur unités pilotes proposent des corrélations majoritairement empiriques pour les paramètres critiques de dimensionnement. Par ailleurs leur extrapolation à l'échelle industrielle montre une divergence importante entre les différentes corrélations. Une meilleure compréhension des phénomènes physiques ainsi qu'une identification des paramètres importants pour l'extrapolation est donc requise. Dans ce contexte, la présente thèse a comme objectif principal la compréhension de l'effet de changement d'échelle sur les paramètres hydrodynamiques et l'aire interfaciale d'échange dans le cas des plateaux à clapets. La méthodologie employée dans cette étude se base sur une complémentarité entre une étude expérimentale et le potentiel offert par les outils de simulation numérique. L'étude expérimentale s'est effectuée sur deux colonnes pilotes rectangulaires transparentes ayant deux longueurs de passe différentes. Des mesures de pertes de charge, de hauteur de l'émulsion, de rétention liquide et d'aire interfaciale d'échange ont été réalisées. Des mesures innovantes de profils de l'émulsion gaz-liquide sur un plateau sont également présentées. Les différents résultats expérimentaux ont permis la proposition d'un diagramme hydrodynamique ainsi qu'une compréhension et une analyse phénoménologique cohérente de l'écoulement sur une large gamme de vitesses liquide et gaz. La comparaison entre les deux colonnes a permis, en premier lieu, l'identification des vitesses liquide et gaz pertinentes pour l'extrapolation. Des similitudes de comportement ont été trouvées pour certains paramètres (rétention liquide moyenne, perte de charge clapets, aire interfaciale) offrant ainsi la possibilité de proposer des corrélations basées sur une description phénoménologique dépendant essentiellement de deux nombres adimensionnels que sont le nombre de Froude (comparant l’inertie gaz au poids liquide sur le plateau) et le paramètre de l’écoulement (comparant les deux inerties liquide et gaz). En revanche une influence notable de la longueur de passe est relevée. En particulier des profils de l'émulsion nettement différents entre la petite et la grande colonne ont été observés. Des risques d'extrapolation sont par conséquent pointés dans cette thèse notamment pour des paramètres tels que la hauteur de liquide clair ou la hauteur moyenne de l’émulsion. Dans une deuxième partie, l'intérêt a été porté sur la simulation numérique des écoulements sur les plateaux. L'importance et la complexité de la modélisation du terme d'interaction entre les deux phases sont soulignées. Une approche proposée dans la littérature a été testée et montre la possibilité de l'emploi des simulations CFD comme outil pour une meilleure compréhension des comportements locaux. En outre une approche de modélisation nouvelle est proposée dans une optique de valorisation des outils numériques pour l'extrapolation.

Abstract:
Cette étude repose sur l’observation de la mise en oeuvre, sous l’égide du Centre social de l’AMA (Association Montargoise d’Animation), d’un projet participatif dans une zone urbaine sensible.Après avoir rappelé les origines de la politique de la ville en France, et décrit les différents dispositifs qui la constituent, l’auteure analyse le déroulement de ce projet, dans lequel elle a joué un rôle de conseillère méthodologique. Elle montre comment les personnes qui ont choisi d’y participer sont parvenues à former un groupe de recherche en vue de réaliser une enquête sur la réussite scolaire, et comment elles ont su tirer partie des données recueillies pour aboutir à la rédaction d’un livret de 82 pages dans lequel elles exposent leurs conclusions.L’auteure montre enfin que la mise à distance de la réalité sociale qu’implique une démarche d’enquête a permis à ces personnes de surmonter les effets de la stigmatisation sociale dont elles se sentent les victimes pour assumer pleinement leur statut de citoyen.Loin de résulter de la transmission d’un savoir, ce changement d’attitude a été la conséquence du nouveau rôle qu’elles ont ainsi été amenées à jouer. En ce sens, une telle expérience relève de l’éducation populaire, c’est-à-dire d’un modèle d’éducation dans lequel l’enseignant accepte de partir, non pas de son propre savoir, mais de celui des « apprenants »
This study is based on the observation of a citizen project that was implemented in an underprivileged area of Montargis, under the aegis of a « Social center » called AMA (Association Montargoise d’Animation).First, the author traces the origins of French urban policy, and describes its various administrative and operative levels. Then, she relates how some of the underprivileged citizens of this area joined the particular AMA project she has studied and in which she acted as a methodological consultant. She goes on describing how, together, they decided to conduct a survey with the aim of identifying factors which determine successful results at school, and how they wrote and published an 82 pages booklet in which they develop their findings. She makes it clear that she just recommended some research methods, without directly interfering in the survey itself.Finally, she shows that through the research they themselves conducted, the people involved in the project learned to take a step back from immediate social reality. This allowed them to overcome the effects of social stigmatization and to fully assume their citizen status. Far from submitting to transmitted knowledge, that change of attitude is an outcome of the new part they were induced to play in society. In that sense, such an experiment becomes an experience which belongs in the domain of people’s education (éducation populaire), that is to say a bottom-up education process in which teaching relies on learners’ knowledge instead of relying exclusively on teachers’ knowledge

Abstract:
Une étude paléoparasitologique a été menée sur des échantillons provenant de 30 sites archéologiques du Moyen-Orient afin de fournir de nouvelles données sur les parasites dans cette région. Une grande partie des échantillons étudiés se sont avérés négatifs. Cependant, le site archéologique de Chehrabad en Iran a fourni d’importants résultats. Des embryophores de Taeniidae, ainsi que des œufs d’Ascaris sp., de Trichuris sp., d’Enterobius vermicularis, et d’Oxyuris equi ont été identifiés, dans deux couches datées des périodes Achéménide et Sassanide. Ces résultats exclusifs pour la région du plateau iranien, prouvent le potentiel d’étude dans certains contextes sédimentaires de cette région du globe à dominante semi-aride. L’analyse de coprolithes humains et animaux issus du site égyptien de Hierakonpolis a également révélé une diversité parasitaire importante. Des œufs de plusieurs familles de trématodes, cestodes, nématodes, et acanthocéphales ont été mis en évidence dans 2 zones du site datées de 3700-3500 av. JC, et 3900-3600 av. JC. Ces résultats fournissent de nouvelles données sur l’Egypte ancienne, et prouvent l’importance de l’étude parasitologique des coprolithes en contextes d’hyper aridité comme les sites de la Vallée du Nil. Les résultats de cette étude complètent les données paléoparasitologiques pour le Moyen-Orient, et apportent des informations inédites sur la vie des populations anciennes, de leur alimentation, de leur maladie, ainsi que sur les échanges de pathogènes liés à leurs déplacements. Ces résultats contribuent également à mieux appréhender l’histoire des maladies parasitaires et du parasitisme dans cette région du globe
A paleoparasitological study has been carried out on 30 archaeological sites located in the Middle East to provide new information on ancient parasites of the region. Many samples examined during our analyses were negative. However, the site of Chehrabad (Iran) provided significant positive results. Taeniids, Ascaris sp., Trichuris sp., Enterobius vermicularis, Oxyuris equi and strongyle were the identified taxa in this site dated to Achaemenid and Sassanid periods. These results showed for the first time, the potential of paleoparasitological studies on the Iranian Plateau to improve our knowledge on ancient parasitism of the oriental areas of the Middle East region. The analyses of coprolites from the site of Hierakonpolis (Egypt) also revealed a diversity of human/animal parasitic markers consisting of trematodes, cestodes, nematodes and acanthocephalan eggs. Oocysts of Eimeria sp. were also identified in this site. Findings in Hierakonpolis came from two localities at the site dated to 3700-3500 BC and 3900-3300 BC. These results provided new information on parasites in ancient Egypt and showed the importance of paleoparasitological analyses of coprolites which could be well preserved in the hyper-arid contexts. The results obtained in this work complete the previous paleoparasitological findings of the Near East. They shed a new light on several aspect of ancient human communities’ everyday life; diet and feeding practices, diseases and sanitary conditions and also on possible pathogens exchanges as a result of mobility and migration. These results contribute also to a better understanding of the history of parasitic diseases and parasitism in the Middle East region

Extensive analyses of faunal material recovered from the sites of Bailey Ruin and Pottery Hill have yielded data useful to understanding the causes and consequences of shifting settlement organization in the Silver Creek region during the 13th and 14th centuries. The faunal records of the larger, aggregated site of Bailey Ruin (200 rooms) and the smaller, earlier site of Pottery Hill (50 rooms) indicates that population aggregation was accompanied by changing patterns of faunal exploitation. Questions of changes in species diversity and abundance during this transitional period are also discussed.

Full text
Abstract:
Le bilan d'énergie de surface du Plateau Antarctique est essentiellement contrôlé par les propriétés physiques des premiers centimètres du manteau neigeux. Or l'évolution de cette neige de surface est complexe car elle dépend de processus fondamentalement imbriqués: vitesse de métamorphisme, profils de température, pénétration du rayonnement solaire, précipitations, transport de neige par le vent, etc. L'objectif de ces travaux de thèse est d'étudier ces diverses composantes et leur couplage afin de simuler l'évolution de la densité de la neige et de la taille de grain (surface spécifique) sur le Plateau Antarctique. Pour représenter de manière physique l'absorption de l'énergie solaire à l'intérieur du manteau, un modèle de transfert radiatif à fine résolution spectrale (TARTES) a été implémenté dans le modèle de manteau neigeux détaillé Crocus. TARTES permet de calculer le profil vertical d'absorption d'énergie dans un manteau stratifié dont les caractéristiques sont connues. Parmi elles, la forme des grains, explicitement prise en compte dans TARTES, a été peu étudiée jusqu'à présent. C'est pourquoi une méthode de détermination expérimentale de la forme optique des grains est proposée et appliquée à un grand nombre d'échantillons de neige. Cette méthode, basée sur des mesures optiques, des simulations TARTES, et l'inférence bayésienne, a permis de déterminer la forme la plus adéquate pour simuler les propriétés optiques de la neige, et a mis en évidence le fait que représenter la neige par un ensemble de particules sphériques conduisait à surestimer la profondeur de pénétration du rayonnement d'environ 30%. L'impact de l'absorption en profondeur du rayonnement sur les profils de température dans le manteau et son métamorphisme est ensuite étudié par des approches analytique et numérique, mettant en valeur la sensibilité des profils aux propriétés de la neige proche de la surface. En particulier, la densité de la neige sur les premiers centimètres est cruciale pour le bilan d'énergie du manteau car elle impacte à la fois la profondeur de pénétration du rayonnement et la conductivité thermique du manteau. Puisque le modèle Crocus tient compte de ce couplage entre propriétés optiques et physiques du manteau, il est utilisé pour estimer l'influence des conditions météorologiques sur la variabilité temporelle des propriétés physiques de la neige de surface à Dôme C. Ces simulations sont évaluées au regard d'un jeu de données collectées lors de missions de terrain et de mesures automatiques de l'albédo spectral et de la pénétration du rayonnement dans la neige. Ces observations mettent en évidence le rôle primordial des précipitations dans les variations rapides de taille de grain en surface et l'existence d'un cycle saisonnier de cette taille de grain. Ces variations sont bien simulées par Crocus lorsque le forçage atmosphérique qui lui est imposé est adéquat. En particulier, l'impact du vent sur l'évolution du manteau est fondamental car il contrôle la densité de surface par le biais du transport de neige. Ce transport est aussi à l'origine de la variabilité spatiale des propriétés de la neige observée à Dôme C. C'est pourquoi une modélisation stochastique de l'érosion et du transport de neige dans Crocus est proposée. En plus d'expliquer la variabilité spatiale de la densité et de la taille de grain, elle permet de reproduire celle de l'accumulation annuelle ainsi que les variations rapides de hauteur de neige liées à des épisodes de vent. Ces travaux ont permis une meilleure représentation des processus physiques qui contrôlent les variations des propriétés de la neige de surface à Dôme C, tout en soulignant le rôle primordial du vent, dont l'impact sur le manteau est particulièrement complexe à simuler
The surface energy balance of the Antarctic Plateau is mainly governed by the physical properties of the snowpack in the topmost centimeters, whose evolution is driven by intricated processes such as: snow metamorphism, temperature profiles variations, solar radiation penetration, precipitation, snow drift, etc. This thesis focuses on the interactions between all these components and aims at simulating the evolution of snow density and snow grain size (specific surface area) on the Antarctic Plateau. To physically model the absorption of solar radiation within the snowpack, a radiative transfer model with high spectral resolution (TARTES) is implemented in the detailed snowpack model Crocus. TARTES calculates the vertical profile of absorbed radiation in a layered snowpack whose characteristics are given. These characteristics include snow grain shape, a parameter that has been seldom studied. For this reason, an experimental method to estimate the optical grain shape is proposed and applied to a large number of snow samples. This method, which combines optical measurements, TARTES simulations and Bayesian inference, is used to estimate the optimal shape to be used in snow optical models. In addition, it highlights that representing snow as a collection of spherical particles results in overestimation of the penetration depth of solar radiation. The influence of the penetration of solar radiation on the snow temperature profiles is then investigated with analytical and numerical tools. The results point out the high sensitivity of the temperature profiles to surface snow physical properties. In particular, the density of the topmost centimeters of the snowpack is critical for the energy budget of the snowpack because it impacts both the effective thermal conductivity and the penetration depth of light. To simulate the evolution of snow physical properties at Dome C by taking into account their interdependence with snow optical properties, the model Crocus is used, driven by meteorological data. These simulations are evaluated against a set of data collected during field missions as well as automatic measurements of snow spectral albedo and penetration depth. These observations highlight the influence of weather conditions on the temporal variability of surface snow properties. They show the existence of a slow decrease of snow grain size at the surface during summer. Rapid changes are also observed, essentially due to precipitation. These variations are well simulated by Crocus when forced by an appropriate atmospheric forcing. In particular, the impact of wind on the evolution of the snowpack is crucial because it controls the surface density through snow transport. This transport is also responsible for the spatial variability of snow properties observed at Dome C. That is why a stochastic representation of snow erosion and transport in Crocus is proposed. It explains well the observations of the spatial variability of density and grain size, and reproduces the variability of the annual accumulation as well as rapid changes in snow height resulting from drift events. This study improves our understanding of the physical processes which drive the properties of snow close to the surface on the Antarctic Plateau, and also points out the critical role of wind, the impact of which is very difficult to account for in models yet

Abstract:
The alluvial forms of the rivers that drain the Colorado Plateau are a product of the water and sediment load that tributaries deliver to the trunk streams. Where the Green and Colorado Rivers cross structural barriers, narrow canyons have been incised. In the steep terrain adjacent to many of these canyons debris flows occur in the catchment basins of tributaries and deliver coarse sediment to the mainstem river corridor. Over time, debris flow deposits have aggraded in trunk stream valleys and created landforms known as debris fans. The sizes of these debris fans are related to the accommodation space available for fan formation. Lithologic variation in the layer-cake stratigraphy of the Colorado Plateau has led to varying valley widths. Tributary catchment, debris fan, depositional site, and mainstem river characteristics are examined over the 156-kilometer reach of the Green River through Desolation and Gray Canyons. Desolation and Gray Canyons provide some of the widest valley widths and resultant debris fan areas on the Colorado Plateau.

Abstract:
This book presents the results of the survey conducted by the University of Florence, in the years 2008-2012, at the site and in the surrounding territory of U&#351;akl&#305; Höyük on the central Anatolian plateau in Turkey. Geological, geomorphological, topographic and geophysical research have provided new information and data relating to the environment and the settlement landscape, as well as producing new maps of the area and indicating the presence of large buried buildings on the site. Analysis of the rich corpus of pottery collected from the surface indicates that the site and its territory were continuously settled from the late Early Bronze Age through the Iron Age and down to the Late Roman and Byzantine periods. A few fragments of cuneiform tablets with Hittite texts, a sealing with two impressions of a stamp seal, and pottery stamps illustrate the importance of U&#351;akl&#305; Höyük and support the hypothesis of its identification with the town of Zippalanda, known from the Hittite sources as a seat of the cult of the Storm God.

Abstract:
This article presents data on the Hittites, who, during the second millennium BCE, established the first empire in what was later called Anatolia and then Asia Minor. From the beginning, the Hittite kings followed an active settlement policy on the Anatolian plateau. Sites in disparate areas show a remarkable uniformity in architecture and material culture, and thus document a strong system, with well-organized structures of production and distribution. Basically inland oriented, the Hittite state maintained close connections to the coast only in southern Asia Minor, which meant access to the trade routes in the eastern Mediterranean and the northern Levant. The loss of these trade routes, together with various other factors, seems to have led to the collapse of the empire around or shortly after 1200 BCE and the abandonment of many (if not all) Hittite settlements on the central Anatolian plateau.

The stratigraphic research has revealed part of a house, remains of burials and some sections of the fortification wall. The walls, built during the Archaic period, was restored and reinforced during the Hellenistic Age, perhaps because of an imminent threat. Thanks to the special focus on the new archaeological data from the Li Schiavoni settlement, we can highlight some aspects related to the settlement system on the Ionian coast of the Salento (Puglia, Southern Italy).

Full text
Abstract:
ABSTRACT We have reprocessed, re-imaged, and interpreted 10000+ km of legacy 2D seismic data in the Seychelles, particularly in the western part of the Plateau. Seychelles data have been difficult to image, particularly for the Mesozoic section: volcanics are a major attenuator of low frequency signal, and a hard water bottom contributes to signal problems. Enhanced low frequency techniques were applied to improve the signal fidelity in the 4 to 20 Hz range, and to remove spectral notches of shallow geologic origin. These efforts have allowed a reasonable view of the structure of the Plateau to a depth equivalent to about 3.5 sec TWT, and permit a comparison of areas atop the Plateau to the south coast where the three 1980's Amoco wells were drilled. It is clear that the main Plateau area of the Seychelles (excluding the outlying territories) is comprised of several separate basins, each with similar Karoo, Cretaceous, and Cenozoic sections that relate to the East African and West Indian conjugate margins, but the basins each have nuanced tectono-stratigraphic histories. The previously recognized Correira Basin in the SE and the East and West South Coast Basins face the African conjugate margin; other unimaged ones complete the periphery of the Plateau. The interior of the Plateau is dominated by the Silhouette Basin to the west of the main islands and the Mahé Basin to the east. The co astal basins have harsh tectono-thermal histories comparable to other continental margins around the world; they are typically characterized by stretching, subsidence and breakaway from their respective conjugate margins. In contrast the interior basins are comparable to ‘failed’ rift systems such as the North Sea or the Gulf of Suez. The South Coastal Basins, for example, tend to be more extended which complicated interpretation of the Amoco wells, but they have significant upside, as exemplified by the Beau Vallon structure. The interior basins, on the other hand, have typically simpler structure: the Silhouette Basin contains a system of NW-trending linked normal faults that could easily harbor North Sea-sized hydrocarbon traps with a variety of rift-related reservoir possibilities. Bright, reflective, hard volcanic horizons are less common than usually presumed, but most of the basins may contain considerable pyroclastic material in parts of the section. All of the basins appear to be predominantly oil prone, with considerable upside prospectivity.

Full text
Abstract:
A fundamental responsibility of the National Park Service (NPS) is to ensure that park resources are preserved, protected, and managed in consideration of the resources themselves and for the benefit and enjoyment by the public. Through the inventory, monitoring, and study of park resources, we gain a greater understanding of the scope, significance, distribution, and management issues associated with these resources and their use. This baseline of natural resource information is available to inform park managers, scientists, stakeholders, and the public about the conditions of these resources and the factors or activities which may threaten or influence their stability. There are several different categories of geologic or stratigraphic units (supergroup, group, formation, member, bed) which represent a hierarchical system of classification. The mapping of stratigraphic units involves the evaluation of lithologies, bedding properties, thickness, geographic distribution, and other factors. If a new mappable geologic unit is identified, it may be described and named through a rigorously defined process that is standardized and codified by the professional geologic community (North American Commission on Stratigraphic Nomenclature 2005). In most instances when a new geologic unit such as a formation is described and named in the scientific literature, a specific and well-exposed section of the unit is designated as the type section or type locality (see Definitions). The type section is an important reference section for a named geologic unit which presents a relatively complete and representative profile. The type or reference section is important both historically and scientifically, and should be available for other researchers to evaluate in the future. Therefore, this inventory of geologic type sections in NPS areas is an important effort in documenting these locations in order that NPS staff recognize and protect these areas for future studies. The documentation of all geologic type sections throughout the 423 units of the NPS is an ambitious undertaking. The strategy for this project is to select a subset of parks to begin research for the occurrence of geologic type sections within particular parks. The focus adopted for completing the baseline inventories throughout the NPS was centered on the 32 inventory and monitoring networks (I&M) established during the late 1990s. The I&M networks are clusters of parks within a defined geographic area based on the ecoregions of North America (Fenneman 1946; Bailey 1976; Omernik 1987). These networks share similar physical resources (geology, hydrology, climate), biological resources (flora, fauna), and ecological characteristics. Specialists familiar with the resources and ecological parameters of the network, and associated parks, work with park staff to support network level activities (inventory, monitoring, research, data management). Adopting a network-based approach to inventories worked well when the NPS undertook paleontological resource inventories for the 32 I&M networks. The network approach is also being applied to the inventory for the geologic type sections in the NPS. The planning team from the NPS Geologic Resources Division who proposed and designed this inventory selected the Greater Yellowstone Inventory and Monitoring Network (GRYN) as the pilot network for initiating this project. Through the research undertaken to identify the geologic type sections within the parks of the GRYN methodologies for data mining and reporting on these resources was established. Methodologies and reporting adopted for the GRYN have been used in the development of this type section inventory for the Northern Colorado Plateau Inventory & Monitoring Network. The goal of this project is to consolidate information pertaining to geologic type sections which occur within NPS-administered areas, in order that this information is available throughout the NPS...

Abstract:
This map is situated in the Hyland Plateau, west of the Mackenzie Mountains, southeast Yukon. The area was inundated by the Cordilleran Ice Sheet during the Late Wisconsinan glaciation. Ice advanced east to northeast across the rolling bedrock terrain, producing dense networks of sometimes cross-cutting bedrock flutings and drumlinoid ridges. During deglaciation, ice flow became increasingly topographically constrained, shifting to more northward flow along major valleys. Meltwater flowing north initially crossed the divide into the Nahanni River basin. Later, as ice retreated south and eastwards, ice-contact deltas and kame terraces formed along the retreating margins. The area is largely covered by till veneer, with bedrock exposed along most ridge crests and glacially-incised valley walls. Shale units within the Besa River and Mattson formations appear prone to failure, and large rotational landslides are common.

Full text
Abstract:
The southeast Ramparts River map area (NTS 106-G/SE) covers part of the northern Mackenzie Mountains and Peel Plateau, Northwest Territories. Bedrock exposures in the area include carbonate and siliciclastic strata ranging from Neoproterozoic (Tonian) to Cretaceous age. These strata were deformed in Cretaceous to Eocene time by folding and contractional faulting associated with Cordilleran deformation. Major structures include the Deadend fault, Tawu anticline, Stony anticline, and Shattered Range anticline. A set of minor pre-Cordilleran extensional faults is preserved within Neoproterozoic strata of the Mackenzie Mountains Supergroup, and are locally associated with diabase or gabbro dykes assigned to the Gunbarrel magmatic event (~780 Ma). Truncation of Neoproterozoic units beneath the sub-Cambrian unconformity indicates tilting or folding of strata before Cambrian time. A second major unconformity between Devonian and Cretaceous strata is marked by low-angle truncation of Paleozoic strata beneath Cretaceous units.
