  • Stratigraphy of the Lower Palaeozoic of the Brabant Massif, Belgium. Part I: the Cambro-Ordovician from the Halle and Ottignies Groups
    GEOLOGICA BELGICA (2013) 16/1-2: 49-65 Stratigraphy of the Lower Palaeozoic of the Brabant Massif, Belgium. Part I: The Cambro-Ordovician from the Halle and Ottignies groups. Alain HERBOSCH1 & Jacques VERNIERS2 1 Département des Sciences de la Terre et de l’Environnement, Université Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium, [email protected] 2 Department of Geology and Soil Science, Ghent University, Belgium, [email protected] ABSTRACT. Multidisciplinary research in the last 25 years and recent geological mapping in the Brabant Massif, have completely changed our knowledge about one of the poorly known part of Belgian geology. The sedimentary succession is surprisingly complete by comparison with the literature before the 1970s, from the lower Cambrian to the top of the Silurian, and very thick (>13 km), thus highlighting the need to produce an up-to-date stratigraphic nomenclature. In this first paper about the Cambrian and the lowest Ordovician, we describe in detail the formations, which are classified into two new groups, how the description of the units evolved through time, their lithology, sedimentology, boundaries and contacts, thickness, fossil content and type sections or most typical outcrop areas. The lower Halle Group comprises the Blanmont, Tubize and Oisquercq formations that consist of sandstone, siltstone and pale coloured slate. The overlying Ottignies Group comprises the Jodoigne, Mousty and Chevlipont formations formed of a more argillaceous and notably darker lithology. The two groups constitute a very thick (> 9 km) lower Cambrian to lowermost Ordovician siliciclastic succession, mostly pelagic and turbiditic. The cumulative thickness curve is concave-upwards which shows an extensional rift basin.

  • Walloon Motorways Head Into the Future
    MARCH 13TH, 2019 1/5 PRESS RELEASE “Plan Lumières 4.0”: WALLOON MOTORWAYS HEAD INTO THE FUTURE Verlaine, March 13th, 2019 - Carlo DI ANTONIO, Walloon Minister for Mobility, and the SOFICO (Société Wallonne de Financement Complémentaire - Walloon Complementary Infrastructure Financing Company) have just allocated a contract for the design, modernization, financing, management and maintenance of public lighting installations on main roads and motorways in the Walloon region to the LuWa consortium, composed of Citelum (authorized representative), Luminus, CFE and DIF. The «Plan Lumières 4.0» (Lighting Plan 4.0), with a 20-year duration, will be executed under a PPP (public/private partnership). The contract includes the gradual commissioning of the new lighting starting on the second half of 2019 and the renewal of network infrastructure using LED lighting, i.e. around 100,000 lighting points over the first four years. “Thanks to the new light sources, i.e. the LED, and a dynamic lighting made possible by new technologies, this plan will contribute to ensure a better service to users and to significantly reduce the energy bill with a consumption cut by around 76%” underlines Carlo DI ANTONIO. Europe’s first smart and connected motorways To meet all possible usage scenarios, the lighting points will be equipped with various remote management systems and several sensor types. The fully connected, smart network will enable light intensity to be modulated in accordance with traffic and various usage scenarios in addition to remote management via the new PEREX traffic management and monitoring center, located in Daussoulx (Namur province), when needed: weather conditions, road works, accidents, etc.

Groat, Chair Associate Professor Scott D. Campbell Associate Professor Fernando Luiz Lara, University of Texas at Austin Associate Professor Claire A. Zimmerman © Kush Upendra Patel 2016 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I want to express my sincere gratitude for the guidance of my chair, Linda N. Groat. This research and my overall experience in the doctoral program are immeasurably better because of her support. I am also indebted to my dissertation committee members: Scott Campbell for his optimism and engaging questions; Claire Zimmerman for assisting me in contextualizing the project and in improving my writing; and Fernando Luiz Lara for his patience and timely critique. I would not have completed this dissertation without travel grants and research funding from the Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning and the Rackham Graduate School. I would not have understood the broader stakes of my doctoral project without training in public scholarship with Rackham’s Arts of Citizenship program. I owe special thanks to Matthew Countryman, Laura N. Schram, and Mark Kamimura-Jimenez for their mentorship throughout this time. I am also deeply grateful for the pedagogical and personal support of Denise Galarza Sepúlveda at the College of LSA’s Center for Engaged Academic Learning (CEAL). I want to thank my friends at the Taubman College and peers from other departments and programs across the University who helped with the completion of this project through writing groups and precious feedback on draft chapters.
