Environmental Evolution of the Basque Coast Geopark Estuaries (Southern Bay of Biscay) During the Last 10.000 Years
(Elsevier, 2021-07)
In order to reconstruct the environmental evolution of the Deba and Urola estuaries located in the Basque Coast Geopark at millennial, centennial and decadal timescales, four long boreholes, three short cores and twelve ...
Toward an Ice-Free Mountain Range: Demise of Pyrenean Glaciers During 2011-2020
(American Geophysical Union, 2021-09-28)
[EN]Pyrenean glaciers are the largest in southern Europe. Their survival is threatened by climate change, highlighting the significance of their study. This research presents an assessment of changes in the glacierized ...
The Anthropocene: Comparing Its Meaning in Geology (Chronostratigraphy) with Conceptual Approaches Arising in Other Disciplines
(American Geophysical Union, 2021-03)
The term Anthropocene initially emerged from the Earth System science community in the early 2000s, denoting a concept that the Holocene Epoch has terminated as a consequence of human activities. First associated with the ...
Relative Abundances of Benthic Foraminifera In Response to Total Organic Carbon in Sediments: Data from European Intertidal Areas and Transitional Waters
(Elsevier, 2021-04)
We gathered total organic carbon (%) and relative abundances of benthic foraminifera in intertidal areas and transitional waters from the English Channel/European Atlantic Coast (587 samples) and the Mediterranean Sea (301 ...
Extraordinary Human Energy Consumption and Resultant Geological Impacts Beginning Around 1950 CE Initiated the Proposed Anthropocene Epoch
(Springer, 2020-10-16)
Growth in fundamental drivers-energy use, economic productivity and population-can provide quantitative indications of the proposed boundary between the Holocene Epoch and the Anthropocene. Human energy expenditure in the ...
The Oyambre Coastal Terrace: a Detailed Sedimentary Record of the Last Interglacial Stage in Northern Iberia (Cantabrian Coast, Spain)
(Wiley, 2021-05-14)
A detailed study is presented of a 15.3-m-thick Pleistocene coastal terrace located on the Cantabrian coast (northern Spain). Stratigraphic, sedimentological, topographic and micropalaeontological information is combined ...
The Anthropocene perspective : a geological approach to climate change
(Universidad de Valencia, 2022)
The most recent division of geological time is based on climate events caused by variations in the Earth's orbit and axis of rotation on a scale of thousands of years. However, the magnitude of geological change caused by ...
U–Pb dating of carbonate veins constraining timing of beef growth and oil generation within Vaca Muerta Formation and compression history in the Neuquén Basin along the Andean fold and thrust belt
(Elsevier, 2021-10)
[EN]We combine structural analysis of fractures with 22 U–Pb dates measured in fracture-filling carbonate cements from bed-parallel fibrous calcite veins (beef), conjugated veins and faults within the Vaca Muerta Formation ...
Maritime-oriented foragers during the Late Pleistocene on the eastern costa del sol (Southeast Iberia): Cueva Victoria (Málaga, Spain)
(Elsevier, 2022-06)
[EN] The Mediterranean coast of Spain is marked by several clusters of Palaeolithic sites: to the south of the Pyrenees, in the area around the Ebro River, in the central part, and on the south coast, one of the southernmost ...
Mid-latitude alluvial and hydroclimatic changes during the Paleocene- Eocene Thermal Maximum as recorded in the Tremp-Graus Basin, Spain
(Elsevier, 2022-06)
A short episode (-170 kyr) of extremely high global temperatures that occurred-56 Ma, known as the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, is widely considered an ancient analogue of the ongoing anthropogenic warming. This ancient ...
