Ce que j'ai fait. Arne Saknussenun. » Extrait de Voyage au centre de la Terre Jules Verne Tout d'abord, je tiens particulièrement à remercier mon directeur Ross Stevenson pour m'avoir fait confiance dans ce projet et m'avoir fait découvrir le monde obscur des isotopes radiogéniques. Je tiens également à lui exprimer toute ma reconnaissance pour sa patience et ses conseils afin que ce projet aboutisse, sans pour autant m'imposer ses idées. Je voudrais également remercier mon co-directeur Daniele Pinti pour m'avoir initié au monde des gaz rares (aussi obscur que les isotopes radiogéniques) et m'avoir permis de me diversifier dans mon travail de thèse. Il a toujours su m'aider dans les moments les plus importants. Je souhaiterais le remercier pour m'avoir permis de participer au Programme JSPS à l'été 2009. Ce voyage au Japon a été une vraie chance pour moi, par le fait de travailler dans un laboratoire étranger d'une part, et pour la magnifique expérience personnelle et humaine d'autre part. Je souhaiterais remercier Jean David pour ses discussions scientifiques très enrichissantes, son enseignement de la chimie du plomb, et pour m'avoir soutenu quand le moral était au plus bas. IV Yairnerais remercier Yuji Sano, ORl, Tokyo, ainsi que toute son équipe pour m'avoir accueilli pendant 3 mois dans son laboratoire et m'avoir permis de travailler avec lui. « Arigato Gozaimasu. » Un gros merci à Raynald Lapointe pour son aide précieuse pour tous les problèmes au TIMS. Et il y en a eu . Je ne peux oublier ici toutes les personnes du GEOTOP qui m'ont accompagnées tout au long de ma thèse et principalement: Jenny, Jean Baptiste, Quentin, Olivia, Olivier, Laurence, Christelle, Benoit, Chantal, Josée, Brice et tous les autres. Encore un merci à mon « office­ mate» de fin de thèse, Quentin, pour m'avoir supporté à la fin, même quand le téléphone sonnait toutes les 2 minutes.. J'ai une pensée particulière pour la « PS DREAM TEAM » que j'ai rencontrée sur les pentes du Vésuve durant fété 2003, et avec qui j'ai partagé ma passion pour les volcans en gravissant autant que possible les volcans italiens. Merci pour avoir supporté mes joies et mes peines durant ces 4 années. Un merci particulier à Mika qui m'a rejoint dans ce grand pays du pôle nord et que je porte dans mon cœur ; ainsi qu'à Snef pour nos éternelles conversations à distance. Je ne veux surtout pas oublier ma famille pour leur soutien continuel même à distance. Merci aussi à mes amies Nadège et Céline, ainsi que Coralie et Céline qui, même de fautre coté de fAtlantique, ont su me rassurer. Et le meilleur pour la fin!!!! Un énorme merci à Nicolas pour sa patience, son soutien perpétuel et sa sagesse même lorsque J~étais devenue un petit démon.

    Sacro e profano ROMA e la Ciociaria dal 18 al 22 agosto 2021 Un viaggio in Ciociaria rappresenta una meta ideale per chi vuole riscoprire le antiche tradizioni, in una terra con un grande passato e tanti tesori nascosti che ne testimoniano la ricchezza culturale e naturalistica, abbazie e residenze papali, cinte murarie pelasgiche e borghi medioevali in un incantevole paesaggio naturale gustando piatti e prodotti tipici e tradizionali. Un angolo del Lazio dove il tempo sembra essersi fermato. E poi Roma, una città che riserva sempre meravigliose scoperte come il nostro itinerario sull’Aventino e sull’isola Tiberina, alla ricerca di quella magia che ha stregato i viaggiatori di tutto il mondo!!! 1° GIORNO: SUBIACO – FIUGGI Nella prima mattinata incontro dei partecipanti e partenza per il Lazio. Arrivo a Subiaco e tempo libero per il pranzo. Visita dei monasteri benedettini di Santa Scolastica e il Sacro Speco. Il primo era in origine il più antico di tutti i monasteri benedettini e conserva al suo interno pregevoli opere d’arte che rendono particolarmente prezioso questo complesso monastico in cui nel 1465 furono pubblicati i primi libri a stampa in Italia. Il Sacro Speco fu eretto nel luogo in cui per due anni il giovane Benedetto si ritirò come eremita. La singolarità del santuario sta nella mirabile successione di ambienti collegati alle pareti rocciose del Monte Taleo impreziositi da affreschi di scuola romana, senese e umbro-marchigiana. Composto da due chiese sovrapposte e da cappelle e grotte interamente affrescate in epoche diverse, costituisce un monumento unico per bellezza e spiritualità. Trasferimento a Fiuggi, cittadina situata alle pendici dei Monti Ernici, circondata da una ricca vegetazione di boschi di I Tuoi Viaggi T.O.

Abstract Most hotspots, kimberlites, and large igneous provinces (LIPs) are sourced by plumes that rise from the margins of two large low shear-wave velocity provinces in the lowermost mantle. These thermochemical provinces have likely been quasi-stable for hundreds of millions, perhaps billions of years, and plume heads rise through the mantle in about 30 Myr or less. LIPs provide a direct link between the deep Earth and the atmosphere but environmental consequences depend on both their volumes and the composition of the crustal rocks they are emplaced through. LIP activity can alter the plate tectonic setting by creating and modifying plate boundaries and hence changing the paleogeography and its long-term forcing on climate. Extensive blankets of LIP-lava on the Earth’s surface can also enhance silicate weathering and potentially lead to CO2 drawdown (cooling), but we find no clear relationship between LIPs and post-emplacement variation in atmospheric CO2 proxies on very long (>10 Myrs) time- scales.

    Template for Submission of Scientific Information to Describe Areas Meeting Scientific Criteria for Ecologically or Biologically Significant Marine Areas Title/Name of the area: Canyons and Seamounts of the Northwest Atlantic Ocean within and beyond national jurisdiction Presented by: Lisa Speer, Director, International Oceans Program, Natural Resources Defense Council Peter Auster, Senior Research Scientist, Sea Research Foundation and Research Professor Emeritus, University of Connecticut. Introduction: Submarine canyons and seamounts off the Atlantic coast of the United States and Canada provide foraging, breeding, and/or nursery habitats for hundreds of fish and crustacean species, including swordfish, tuna, and sharks; marine mammals including endangered sperm whale, beaked whales, and dolphins; and isolated invertebrate communities including those dominated by deep sea corals and sponges. Location: Submarine canyons off the Atlantic coast of the United States and Canada occur mostly within the zones of national jurisdiction. Four of the New England Seamounts are within the jurisdiction of the United States. The remaining New England Seamounts and all of the Corner Rise Seamounts are located in ABNJ. See maps (links below). Feature description of the proposed area The varied seafloor topography and complex oceanographic influences of canyons and seamounts combine to create unique habitat for many species of corals, sponges and other invertebrates on the benthos and fish, marine mammals and birds in the pelagic realm. Deepwater canyons are a striking feature of the continental margin off the east coast of the United States and Canada. There are 15 major canyons in the United States alone, ranging in depth from about 200 meters to about 3,500 meters.

    Conférence Régionale Des Élus De La Montérégie

    1 Conférence régiionalle des éllus de lla Montérégiie Est Portrait de la Montérégie Est Une région concertée et engagée! La région de la Montérégie Est est bordée au nord par le fleuve St-Laurent, au sud par les États de New York et du Vermont, à l’est par l’Estrie et le Centre-du-Québec et enfin à l’ouest par l’agglomération de Longueuil et les MRC de Roussillon et des Jardins-de-Napierville. Réparti en neuf (9) MRC (dont trois (3) sont incluses, en tout ou en partie, dans le territoire de la CMM soit la MRC de Lajemmerais, la MRC de la Vallée-du-Richelieu et la MRC de Rouville) et 108 municipalités, le territoire de la Montérégie Est représente environ 8 % de la population totale du Québec, soit 587 842 habitants et s’étend sur une superficie de 7 125 km². Ainsi, la CRÉ Montérégie Est est, en termes de population, la troisième plus importante du Québec après celle de l’Île de Montréal et de la Capitale Nationale. La Montérégie Est se caractérise par des milieux urbains et ruraux bien structurés, lesquels sont caractérisés par trois situations géopolitiques bien distinctes. Tout d’abord, on retrouve la banlieue immédiate de Montréal, qui est composée des MRC de Lajemmerais et de La Vallée- du-Richelieu. En second lieu, la Montérégie Est présente une couronne de quatre (4) villes satellites, soit Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Granby, Saint-Hyacinthe et Sorel- Tracy. Chacune de ces villes dessert de vastes superficies agricoles et joue un rôle majeur dans l’économie régionale.
