Concluding remarks Bibliography 1. Introduction The Bay of Biscay is an arm of the Atlantic Ocean, indenting the coast of W Europe from NW France (Offshore of Brittany) to NW Spain (Galicia). Tradition- ally the southern limit is considered to be Cape Ortegal in NW Spain, but in this contribution we follow the criterion of other authors (i.e. Sánchez and Olaso, 2004) that extends the southern limit up to Cape Finisterre, at 43∞ N latitude, in order to get a more consistent analysis of oceanographic, geomorphological and biological characteristics observed in the bay. The Bay of Biscay forms a fairly regular curve, broken on the French coast by the estuaries of the rivers (i.e. Loire and Gironde). The southeastern shore is straight and sandy whereas the Spanish coast is rugged and its northwest part is characterized by many large V-shaped coastal inlets (rias) (Evans and Prego, 2003). The area has been identified as a unit since Roman times, when it was called Sinus Aquitanicus, Sinus Cantabricus or Cantaber Oceanus. The coast has been inhabited since prehistoric times and nowadays the region supports an important population (Valdés and Lavín, 2002) with various noteworthy commercial and fishing ports (i.e.

April 13, 2021 Biography of Death Notice N. 4 the Province of Spain
Society of Mary - Compañía de María - Société de Marie Via Latina 22, 00179 Roma April 13, 2021 Biography of Death Notice N. 4 The Province of Spain recommends to our fraternal prayers our dear brother Luciano URIZARNA ZUAZO of the Marianist community of Siquem, Madrid, Spain, who died in the service of the Blessed Virgin Mary of March 11, 2021 in Madrid at the age of 87 with 69 years of religious profession. Luciano was born on August 7, 1933 in San Pedro del Monte, a small village of the municipality of Bascuñana, in the Province of Burgos. His parents, Alipio Urizarna and Águeda Zuazo, celebrated his baptism on August 16 of that same year in the Parish Church of San Pedro. His confirmation took place in the same church two years later, on May 19, 1935. In 1946, like many children in the area, he entered the Marianist postulate in Escoriaza. He attended that school for four years, continuing the elementary studies that he had begun in his village. Throughout his stay in Escoriaza, he progressed considerably, until he ended up being part of the upper third of his classmates academically. He was endowed with an excellent memory. His formators saw that he possessed good health and had made considerable progress in his life of piety and in his interest in entering religious life. They also noted his shyness and somewhat withdrawn character. At the end of the academic year 1949-50, considering his personal growth, his interest in religious formation and his life of piety, the Council of the Postulate of Escoriaza agreed that he could be admitted to the Novitiate.

About the Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose The mission of the UCL Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose (IIPP) is to change how public value is imagined, practised and evaluated in order to tackle societal challenges. The Institute encourages economic growth that is innovation-led, sustainable and inclusive. Growth has not only a rate but also a direction: IIPP confronts this directionality head on. Finding solutions to global challenges requires purposeful organisations to collaborate in fundamentally new ways — across the state, businesses and civil society. IIPP rethinks the role of the state in these collaborations. Rather than just acting as a market fixer, the state can co-create value.

Bay of Biscay by Global Ocean Associates Prepared for Office of Naval Research – Code 322 PO
An Atlas of Oceanic Internal Solitary Waves (February 2004) Bay of Biscay by Global Ocean Associates Prepared for Office of Naval Research – Code 322 PO Bay of Biscay Overview The Bay of Biscay is located in the northeast Atlantic Ocean and is bounded by the western coast of France and the northern coast of Spain (Figure 1). The Bay is characterized by a broad and irregular continental shelf. Figure 1. Bathymetry of the Bay of Biscay. [Smith and Sandwell, 1997] 57 An Atlas of Oceanic Internal Solitary Waves (February 2004) Bay of Biscay by Global Ocean Associates Prepared for Office of Naval Research – Code 322 PO Observations There has been considerable study on internal waves in the Bay of Biscay; both those that occur along the continental shelf break and those in the central Bay approximately 120 to 150 km from the shelf edge. The shelf break internal waves have been well characterized by Pingree and Mardell [1985] and Pingree et al. [1986] with amplitudes (peak to trough) of up to 40 m. The internal waves at the shelf break produce complex surface pattern, due to varying topography and irregular edge of the shelf break in the northern Bay. New and Pingree [1990, 1992] and New and daSilva [2002] have investigated internal waves in the Central Bay. These waves, with amplitudes of up to 80 m, are thought to be locally generated [New and Pingree 1990] through a reflection of tidal energy that re-emerges at the surface near where internal waves have been observed in the central Bay. Like other sites in the north Atlantic, (New York Bight, Northwest Africa) both types of internal waves in the Bay are believed to occur only during the summer and early fall (June though September) when a well-developed thermocline is present (Table 1).
