  • Assessing Qualitative Long-Term Volcanic Hazards at Lanzarote Island
    1 Assessing qualitative long-term volcanic hazards at Lanzarote 2 Island (Canary Islands) 3 4 Laura Becerril1, Joan Martí1, a, Stefania Bartolini1, Adelina Geyer1 5 1. Institute of Earth Sciences Jaume Almera, ICTJA-CSIC, Lluís Solé i Sabarís s/n, 08028 Barcelona, 6 Spain 7 a. Now at the Institut des Sciences de la Terre d’Orleans (ISTO, CNRS), Université d’Orleans, Campus 8 Géosciences, 1A rue de la Férolerie, F45071, Orleans Cedex 2. 9 10 11 Correspondence to: Laura Becerril ([email protected]) 12 13 Abstract. Conducting long-term hazard assessment in active volcanic areas is of primordial importance 14 for land-use planning and to define emergency plans able to be applied in case of a crisis. Definition of 15 scenario hazard maps helps to mitigate the consequences of future eruptions by anticipating to the events 16 that may occur. Lanzarote is an active volcanic island that has hosted the largest (>1.5 km3 DRE) and 17 longest (6 years) eruption, the Timanfaya eruption (1730-36), on the Canary Islands in historical times 18 (last 600 years). This eruption brought severe economic losses and forced local people to migrate. In spite 19 of all these facts, no comprehensive hazard assessment neither hazard maps have been developed for the 20 island. In this work, we present an integrated long-term volcanic hazard evaluation using a systematic 21 methodology that includes spatial analysis and simulations of the most probable expected eruptive scenar- 22 ios. 23 24 1 Introduction 25 26 Active volcanic areas require conducting long-term hazard assessment in order to ensure a rational land 27 planning and to elaborate precise emergency plans that can be applied in case of a crisis.

CRUZ Y SAAVEDRA RESUMEN La reconstrucción teórica de un edificio —del cual no queda nada en pie—, es un instrumento a disposición del investigador para dar a conocer a la comunidad científica y mantener vivo en el recuerdo, aquellos inmuebles que, como éste, al encontrarse en las afueras del núcleo urbano, su estruc- tura fue objeto del pillaje y la demolición años después de su desamortiza- ción. Por ello resulta una causa difícil, además de arriesgada, pero que cons- tituye todo un reto para quien la utiliza. Ante la ausencia de documentación gráfica, los archivos y los ejemplos de la arquitectura conventual existentes en Canarias, se convierten en herramientas básicas para recomponer con se- riedad el convento que la Orden Franciscana decidió fundar en esta jurisdic- ción.

(2017). Las “palabras dulces” que hubo en el español de Canarias y lo que ellas queda en la toponimia. Anuario de Estudios Atlánticos, nº 63: 063-019. http://anuariosatlanticos. casadecolon.com/index.php/aea/article/view/9925 Resumen: El cultivo de la caña de azúcar en las Islas Canarias y la consiguiente industria para la obtención del azúcar tuvo su florecimiento en los siglos XVI y XVII, y con ello el nacimiento y la implantación de un vocabu- lario específico relacionado con esos dos procesos. La caída de esas actividades hasta su total desaparición fue paralela a la caída y casi total olvido de ese vocabulario en el habla popular de las islas. Pero muchas de aquellas palabras perdidas quedan en la toponimia como testimonio de aquella actividad y de los lugares en que se ubicaron los ingenios. Palabras clave: léxico, azúcar, toponimia, Islas Canarias Abstract: The cultivation of sugar cane in the Canary Islands and the consequent industry for the production of sugar had its flowering in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and thus the birth and implementation of a specific vocabulary related to these two processes. The fall of these activities until their total disappearance was parallel to the decline and almost total neglect of that vocabulary in popular speech of the islands.

No similar coarsening events are indicated in investigations of the sedimentological record for the last 180 ka, a period showing several dramatic climate changes. Therefore a mobilisation of Holocene dust by anthropogenic activity in the northwest Sahara east of the Canary Islands is assumed. Although scarce archaeological data from the coastal area of that region does not point to strong anthropogenic activity during the early Holocene, a high density of unexplored archaeological remains is reported from the coastal hinterlands in the Western Sahara. Thus, the hypothesis of early anthropogenic activity cannot be excluded. Key words: Canary Islands, Saharan dust, geoarchaeology, early Holocene, Western Sahara, desertification. Introduction Sediments derived from aeolian dust can bear witness to past environmental changes occurring in dust mobilisation areas.
