En 2012, y por primera vez para Urdaibai y la costa vasca, se constata la reproducción de cigüeñuela en la laguna de Orueta, en el municipio de Gautegiz-Arteaga (Bizkaia). En particular, una pareja fue capaz de sacar adelante 3 pollos. • PALABRAS CLAVE: Cantábrico, Gautegiz-Arteaga, humedales, limícolas, marismas costeras. ABSTRACT The common stilt Himantopus himantopus L., 1758 has colonized the coast along northern Spain recently (it bred for the first time in 2009 in Asturias and Cantabria). In 2012, and for the first time at Urdaibai and the Basque coast, one pair bred successfully in the Orueta lagoon, within the municipality of Gautegiz-Arteaga (Bizkaia). This pair was able to rear 3 chicks. • KEY WORDS: Bay of Biscay, coastal marshes, Gautegiz-Arteaga, waders, wetlands.

The Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l’Environnement (LSCE) research program on prehistoric art conducts chronological studies of parietal representations with their associated archaeological context. This multidisciplinary approach provides chronological arguments about the creation period of parietal representations. This article presents chrono- logical investigations carried out in several decorated caves in France (La Grande Grotte, Labastide, Lascaux, La Tête-du- Lion, Villars) and Spain (La Garma, Nerja, La Pileta, Urdiales). Several types of organic materials, collected from different areas of the caves close to the walls and in connection with parietal art, were dated to determine the periods of human presence in the cave, a presence that may have been related to artistic activities. These new radiocarbon results range from 33,000– 29,000 (La Grande Grotte) to 16,000–14,000 cal BP (Urdiales). INTRODUCTION Developing a chronological framework for Paleolithic parietal art (paintings and drawings) remains a difficult and controversial issue. Indeed, direct radiocarbon dating on paintings is exceptional, pri- marily because of preservation concerns and also due to the scarcity of organic pigments. Therefore, the results are not numerous and are often challenged. Reservations bear upon the taphonomic evo- lution of cave walls and especially upon the possible presence of extraneous organic materials, which can contaminate the parietal representations and thus distort the dating results.

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.

Abstract There is developing interest in cave aerosols due to the increasing awareness of their impacts on the cave environment and speleothems. This study presents the first multidisciplinary investigation into cave aerosols and their potential contribution to speleothem geochemistry. Aerosols are shown to be sourced from a variety of external emission processes, and transported into cave networks. Both natural (marine sea-spray, terrestrial dust) and anthropogenic (e.g. vehicle emissions) aerosol emissions are detected throughout caves. Internal cave aerosol production by human disruption has also been shown to be of importance in caves open to the public. Aerosols produced from floor sediment suspension and release from clothing causes short term high amplitude aerosol suspension events. Cave aerosol transport, distribution and deposition are highly variable depending on cave situation.
