Cretaceous Transition in Mount Lebanon
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by I-Revues Carnets Geol. 16 (8) Some steps toward a new story for the Jurassic - Cretaceous transition in Mount Lebanon Bruno GRANIER 1 Christopher TOLAND 2 Raymond GÈZE 3 Dany AZAR 3, 4 Sibelle MAKSOUD 3 Abstract: The stratigraphic framework of the Upper Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous strata of Lebanon that dates back to DUBERTRET's publications required either consolidation or full revision. The preliminary results of our investigations in the Mount Lebanon region are presented here. We provide new micro- paleontological and sedimentological information on the Salima Oolitic Limestones, which is probably an unconformity-bounded unit (possibly Early Valanginian in age), and the "Grès du Liban" (Barremian in age). Our revised bio- and holostratigraphic interpretations and the new age assignations lead us to em- phasize the importance of the two hiatuses in the sedimentary record below and above the Salima, i.e., at the transition from the Jurassic to the Cretaceous. Key Words: Tithonian; Valanginian; Barremian; hiatus; unconformity; Salima Oolitic Limestones; "Grès du Liban"; amber; Balkhania. Citation: GRANIER B., TOLAND C., GÈZE R., AZAR D. & MAKSOUD S.

Informing Targeted Host Community Programming in Lebanon
INFORMING TARGETED HOST COMMUNITY PROGRAMMING IN LEBANON SECONDARY DATA REVIEW SEPTEMBER 2014 Host Community Vulnerabilities in Lebanon: Secondary Data Review – September 2014 SUMMARY As the Syria conflict enters its fourth year, the number of refugees settling in neighbouring countries continues to rise. According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), an estimated 1,055,393 registered refugees from Syria reside in Lebanon.1 The influx of refugees from Syria, which constitutes 20 per cent of the total population living in Lebanon, has had a tremendous impact on the demographic, socioeconomic and security situation in the country. The 2014 Syria Regional Response Plan (RRP6) reported that 86 per cent of refugees have relocated to communities hosting 66 per cent of the most vulnerable Lebanese populations.2 The presence of refugees has affected the resilience of host communities, particularly in terms of accessing basic services and public infrastructure, as well as social cohesion within communities already affected by sectarian divisions. This secondary data review report was conducted during the inception phase of an assessment carried out by REACH Initiative in partnership with the United Nations Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) in 2014. This larger study aims to inform host community programming in Lebanon through the participatory identification of vulnerabilities and factors that undermine community resilience and social cohesion. In terms of information management, this assessment hopes to fill a major information gap in regards to community vulnerabilities as they pertain to refugee and host community populations. This report provides a review of secondary data and information available on the social, economic and political impact of the refugee influx on host communities with a specific focus on the principal vectors of tension within these communities in the context of the Syria crisis. -

Lebanon: Aid Security Insight October 2020
Lebanon: Aid Security Insight October 2020 In the afternoon of 4 August 2020, two explosions occurred at Beirut’s seaport causing over 180 deaths and injuring more than 6,000 people. The blast destroyed several major hospitals, some 20 clinics, and over 120 schools. The blast happened against a background of a deep political, financial, and economic crisis. The coping capacity of services were already stretched, compounded by the spread of COVID-19. Today, there are a wide range of humanitarian needs in Lebanon, a country where refugees make up 30% of the population. The number of daily COVID-19 infections rose sharply at the end of August and has been steadily climbing since then. This document provides information on safety and security concerns aid agencies responding to the wide range of needs in the country should consider in their duty of care responsibilities towards their staff and local partners. The analysis is based on security incidents and concerns shared by ten aid agencies through the Aid in Danger project. It provides a unique insight into the environment in which aid agencies work. It is based on data for January 2015 and June 2020. Overall there has been no significant change in humanitarian access in Lebanon so far. This document describes the security trends affecting aid observed over the past five years. Reported concerns affecting aid delivery in Lebanon • Aid delivery disruption: Common in the past. Threatening behaviour by local individuals and beneficiaries towards NGO staff members, notably over beneficiary lists, and aid contracts and activities. • Operational space: Most frequently reported issue in 2020. -

Sampling Summary This inception report summarizes the first and second stages of selection in the sampling process and includes a draft survey instrument. The proposed distribution of interviews across governorates, districts and vulnerability-levels are given in Appendix A: Distribution of Interviews. The distribution of Lebanon’s population, vulnerability-levels, and the proposed allocation of interviews at the cadaster level is visualized in Appendix B: Maps. The proposed survey instrument is available in English at https://enketo.ona.io/x/#YTxI and also included in Appendix C: Survey Instrument. 1.1. First and Second Stage Sampling Given the research objectives of the survey and with the proposed sample size of N = 5; 000 interviews per survey wave, there will be adequate statistical power to assess meaningful differences in outcomes with precision at the governorate (muhafaza) level, as well as differences across levels of vulnerability indicated in the ‘Most Vulnerable Localities in Lebanon’ map (see Map B.2). A complex sample design was required to optimize the efficiency of the sample across the two dimensions of (a) district geographies and (b) vulnerability-level geographies, while at the same time (c) minimizing the margin of error for total-sample statistics. -
