Datos Estadísticos ................................................................................. 285 4 PRESENTACIÓN El Instituto de Investigación en Ciencias Ambientales de Aragón de la Universidad de Zaragoza (IUCA) camina hacia su quinto año de funcionamiento, de ahí la redacción de esta memoria de actividades y producción científica 2008-2011 que servirá de base para su evaluación quinquenal por parte del Gobierno de Aragón. El IUCA, nacido en un momento (finales de 2008) en el que ya se vislumbraban dificultades económicas, lo que sin duda ha provocado la escasa inversión institucional realizada en él, ha demostrado en estos cuatro años que conseguir un alto nivel de excelencia, con fortalezas y calidad demostrada por los indicadores objetivos de producción científica que se exponen en esta memoria, no depende directamente de la inversión recibida. Es el trabajo callado, cotidiano, continuo e intenso de sus grupos de investigadores, lo que en gran medida permite compensar esa falta de financiación básica general. Esta dirección del IUCA ha defendido siempre que los organismos de investigación deberían publicar sus ratios de rendimiento, medido en producción científica contrastada, no en noticias populistas en mass media, referenciada esa producción, con los fondos consumidos, y con el retorno a la sociedad en forma de transferencia de tecnología. Es seguro que la percepción comparada del rendimiento obtenido nos depararía bastantes sorpresas. El IUCA, nucleado por sus 17 grupos de investigación reconocidos por el Gobierno de Aragón, presenta en esta memoria una producción científica 2008-2011 de 386 publicaciones indexadas en el ISI WOK con un índice de impacto medio de 2,199, lo que significa que están todas ellas en revistas del primer cuarto del correspondiente subject del JCR Science Edition y en el primer 20 % del JCR Social Sciences Edition. Además, teniendo en cuenta el muy importante peso de las áreas estratégicas de Territorio, Patrimonio y Jurídico-Económica en el IUCA, con sus especiales características en cuanto a estrategia de publicación, se han realizado otras 344 publicaciones de gran interés y amplia difusión en este contexto, así como 223 libros o capítulos de libros, además de defenderse 43 tesis doctorales. La organización y/o colaboración en el desarrollo de Congresos Internacionales de máximo prestigio y gran número de participantes, la coordinación de seminarios internacionales, la cooperación con otros institutos extranjeros, va abriendo el camino a una internacionalización progresiva de nuestras actividades. Otro de los indicadores objetivos son los fondos captados tanto por proyectos de investigación en convocatorias competitivas, como en contratos con empresas y organismos públicos y privados. En este último caso se han firmado en el periodo 2008-2011 un total de 211 contratos por un montante total de 4.892.466,69 euros, y 213 proyectos competitivos autonómicos, estatales o europeos por un total de 14.954.983,70 euros. Parece que ha sido un acierto la configuración del IUCA en base a grupos de investigación reconocidos por el Gobierno de Aragón, de esta forma las sinergias e interacciones que se producen son más intensas y frecuentes. La celebración anual de Jornadas multidisciplinares entre los distintos grupos va propiciando poco a poco la colaboración entre grupos. El Instituto mantiene también un programa propio de becas de inicio a la investigación con objeto de ayudar a la incorporación de jóvenes investigadores a sus grupos. El IUCA, además de apostar por una fuerte internacionalización de sus actividades, está fuertemente conectado al entramado social y productivo aragonés, Los convenios que se han desarrollado en estos cuatro años con el Departamento de Medio Ambiente del Gobierno de Aragón, con la Confederación Regional de Empresarios y el hecho de que la mayoría de los 211 contratos de investigación por casi cinco millones de euros lo hayan sido con empresas e instituciones de Aragón prueban la importancia del impacto del IUCA en el desarrollo científico y tecnológico de Aragón y su implicación con líneas prioritarias del Plan Autonómico de investigación vigente, a las que el Instituto presta una especial atención dentro de sus especialidades. El Instituto de Investigación en Ciencias Ambientales de Aragón es sensible a la actual situación económica general, sin embargo si queremos que esta estructura de investigación de excelencia tenga vocación de futuro y una larga proyección en el tiempo, incrementando el muy alto nivel de calidad que ya tiene, y alcanzando la necesaria estabilidad institucional, es imprescindible, cuanto antes, dotarlo de una sede que permita optimizar todos sus recursos, y darle visibilidad física ante la sociedad.

  • Lower and Middle Paleozoic Stratigraphic Successions
    CHAPTER 2 LOWER AND MIDDLE PALEOZOIC STRATIGRAPHIC SUCCESSIONS Middle Arenigian quartzite beds (upper Armorican Quartzite) in the Estena river section, Cabañeros National Park Gutiérrez-Marco, J.C. Rábano, I. Liñán, E. Gozalo, R. Fernández Martínez, E. Arbizu, M. Méndez-Bedia, I. Pieren Pidal, A. Sarmiento, G.N. It has already been explained how the formation of the Iberian Massif, where the Iberian Peninsula base- ment crops out, is closely linked to the development of the Late Paleozoic Variscan orogeny. The result was the intense shortening and deformation of the marine sediments previously deposited along the vast Gondwana continental margins during the Early and Middle Paleozoic. The Iberian Massif contains the most extense and fossiliferous exposures in the European Variscan orogenic chain. Its different struc- tural and paleogeographic zones include important stratigraphic successions from the Cambrian to the Devonian periods (García-Cortés et al., 2000, 2001; Gutiérrez-Marco, 2006), making up one of the key geological frameworks to understand the latest Precambrian and Paleozoic evolution of the Iberian Peninsula and Western Europe, and with an abundant record of geological and biological global events.

It is now generally known that the youngest stages of trilobites found as fossils are minute ovate or discoid bodies, not more than one millimetre in length, in which the head por­ tion greatly predominates. Altogether they present very little likeness to the adult form, to which, however, they are trace­ able through a longer or shorter series of modifications. Since Barrande2 first demonstrated the metamorphoses of trilobites, in 1849, similar observations have been made upon a number of different genera by Ford,22 Walcott,34':*>':t6 Mat­ thew,28- 27' 28 Salter,32 Callaway,11' and the writer.4.5-7 The general facts in the ontogeny have thus become well estab­ lished and the main features of the larval form are fairly well understood. Before the recognition of the progressive transformation undergone by trilobites in their development, it was the cus­ tom to apply a name to each variation in the number of tho­ racic segments and in other features of the test.

  • Ptychopariid Trilobites in the Middle Cambrian of Central Bohemia (Taxonomy, Biostratigraphy, Synecology)
    Ptychopariid trilobites in the Middle Cambrian of Central Bohemia (taxonomy, biostratigraphy, synecology) VRATISLAV KORDULE A revision of ptychopariid trilobites from the Middle Cambrian of central Bohemia is presented. With a few exceptions, they were previously referred only to Ptychoparia striata. Three genera are recently distinguished: Ptychoparia Hawle & Corda, 1847, Ptychoparioides Růžička, 1940, and Mikaparia gen. nov. Seven species are described: three are revised, four are new, and two is left in open nomenclature; their stratigraphical ranges and significance are discussed. A new stratigraphical subdivision of the Middle Cambrian of the Skryje-Týřovice area is suggested, including three assemblage zones and three barren zones. Four substrate and bathymetrically controlled trilobite associations are recognized in the Skryje-Týřovice area. • Key words: Bohemia, Middle Cambrian, trilobites, new taxa, biostratigraphy.

As in the previous paper, only published species are considered because illustrations are not possible. Most of the text is arranged in alphabetical order according to genera, exceptions being made in a few cases where several members of a family are kept together. ALBERTELLA Walcott, 1908 Four species were described by Walcott as belonging to Alhertella, viz, the genotype A. helena, and A. bosworthi, A. levis, and A. pa- cifica. The last named, which comes from Asia, is in reality an inde- terminate fragment and must await the finding of further material before its proper generic assignment can be made. Several new spe- cies of Albertella are in hand beside those recognized below in the disr cussion of the three previously described American species.

  • A New Way to Confirm Meteorite Impact Produced Planar Features in Quartz: Combining Universal Stage and Electron Backscatter Diffraction Techniques
    A new way to confirm meteorite impact produced planar features in quartz: combining Universal Stage and Electron Backscatter Diffraction techniques M.H. Voorn MSc Thesis August 2010 Utrecht University - Earth Sciences department Structural Geology and Tectonic research group Abstract As recognised from the geological record, meteorite impact events can have a severe influence on (local) geology, climate and life. Solid evidence for these events is therefore important to obtain. The most convincing evidence comes from microstructures in quartz. Upon impact, Planar Fractures (PFs) and Planar Deformation Features (PDFs) form parallel to specific crystallographic planes in quartz. Non-impact formed (tectonic) Deformation Lamellae (DL) may be hard to distinguish qualitatively from PFs or PDFs with the optical microscope, but do not form parallel to crystallographic planes. Quantitative methods using the Universal Stage (U-Stage) on the optical microscope have therefore been applied widely to (dis)confirm this parallelism. With the method, the quartz c-axis and poles to planar features are measured and plotted. An improved technique requires so-called indexing of the measured orientations using a stereographic projection template. Even when these techniques are applied, some proposed impact structures remain debated. An important reason for this is the U-stage can not provide the full crystal orientation of quartz. The goal of this thesis was to check the classical U-stage techniques for quantitatively confirming impact planar features in quartz, and to see whether the addition of Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD, on the Scanning Electron Microscope: SEM) and Cathodoluminescence (CL, on the SEM) can provide more solid evidence. Six previously confirmed impact and three non-impact samples were studied.
