Et de l’après-demain, et du prochain siècle? Les optimistes disent: nous trouverons la solution de ce problème, le recours à des produits de substitution de moindre qualité d’un coté, et à de nouvelles formes d’énergie de l’autre, feront apparaître des réalisations inespérées. Les pessimistes prévoient la fin du monde, l’extinction d’une ère de progrès illimités et ininterrompus. Et encore il faudrait une entente commune sur le terme “progrès” et l’utilisation qu’on en fait. Entre ces deux extrêmes, la sagesse des peuples et des nations nous amène à nous interroger comment, à quel prix et avec quels efforts, à travers quels moyens et avec quelles techniques, la vie continuera, lorsque la hiérarchie des ressources aura été définitivement modifiée...” Jean KEILLING in préface de ‘Énergie et Agriculture, le choix écologique ’ de Jean-Roger MERCIER, 1978. ___________________________________________________ _________________________________ Deuxième Rapport National sur l’Etat de la Biodiversité ii Repúblique du Cap Vert, Ministère de l’Agriculture et de la Pêche – Direction Générale de l’Environnement – DGA, Juillet 2002 TABLE DES MATIERES LISTE DES PRICIPAUX SIGLES ET ABBREVIATIOS ...................................................................... vi LISTE DES TABLEAUX ................................................................................................................................ viii LISTE DES GRAPHIQUES ............................................................................................................................. ix RESUME EXECUTIF......................................................................................................................................... x CHAPITRE I ..........................................................................................................................

  • Crater Gradation in Gusev Crater and Meridiani Planum, Mars J
    JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 111, E02S08, doi:10.1029/2005JE002465, 2006 Crater gradation in Gusev crater and Meridiani Planum, Mars J. A. Grant,1 R. E. Arvidson,2 L. S. Crumpler,3 M. P. Golombek,4 B. Hahn,5 A. F. C. Haldemann,4 R. Li,6 L. A. Soderblom,7 S. W. Squyres,8 S. P. Wright,9 and W. A. Watters10 Received 19 April 2005; revised 21 June 2005; accepted 27 June 2005; published 6 January 2006. [1] The Mars Exploration Rovers investigated numerous craters in Gusev crater and Meridiani Planum during the first 400 sols of their missions. Craters vary in size and preservation state but are mostly due to secondary impacts at Gusev and primary impacts at Meridiani. Craters at both locations are modified primarily by eolian erosion and infilling and lack evidence for modification by aqueous processes. Effects of gradation on crater form are dependent on size, local lithology, slopes, and availability of mobile sediments. At Gusev, impacts into basaltic rubble create shallow craters and ejecta composed of resistant rocks. Ejecta initially experience eolian stripping, which becomes weathering-limited as lags develop on ejecta surfaces and sediments are trapped within craters. Subsequent eolian gradation depends on the slow production of fines by weathering and impacts and is accompanied by minor mass wasting. At Meridiani the sulfate-rich bedrock is more susceptible to eolian erosion, and exposed crater rims, walls, and ejecta are eroded, while lower interiors and low-relief surfaces are increasingly infilled and buried by mostly basaltic sediments. Eolian processes outpace early mass wasting, often produce meters of erosion, and mantle some surfaces.

Denise Bellan-Santini provides us with a fitting memorial to his life and career. Shortly many 145 new species members of the amphipod family will gather for the 16th ICA in 5 new subspecies Aveiro, Portugal. And plans are well underway for the 17th ICA in Turkey (see page 64 for more information). And, as always, we provide you with a Bibliography and index of amphipod publications that includes citations of 376 papers that were published in 2013-2015 (or after the publication of Amphipod Newsletter 38). Again, what an amazing amount of research that has been done by you! Please continue to notify us when your papers are published. We hope you enjoy your Amphipod Newsletter! Best wishes from your AN Editors, Wim, Adam, Miranda and Anne Helene !1 AMPHIPOD NEWSLETTER 39 2015 Interview with two prominent members of the “Polish group”. The group of amphipod workers in Poland has always been a visible and valued part of the amphipod society.

  • Undiscovered Cape Verde
    Tour Code: 48950 UNDISCOVERED CAPE Grade 6 Holiday Duration: 14 nights VERDE HOLIDAY DATES 26th Jan 2019 - 9th Feb 2019, 26th Oct 2019 - 9th Nov 2019 Exploring rugged Atlantic Islands... 19th Dec 2019 - 2nd Jan 2020 The Cape Verde Islands offer a unique blend of African and Portuguese history. We go to the geologically younger, where the way of life is relatively untouched by the outside world HOLIDAY HIGHLIGHTS Explore the dramatic canyons and fertile oases of Cape Verde’s "ribeiras". Meet friendly farmers and children on cobbled mountain and coastal trails. Discover Cidade Velha, the earliest colonial city - now a World Heritage site. Enjoy the blend of African and Portuguese culture, music and cuisine. UNDISCOVERED CAPE VERDE A day's good walking up the ribeiras on Santo Anto rewards you with stunning vistas over volcanic mountains, deep gorges and the bluest of seas. The prospect of a refreshing ocean dip, perhaps accompanied by a well- earned sundowner drink, entices you on the downward slope towards the white sand beaches. Tourism is still in its infancy here with the main development beside the sandy beaches of the flatter eastern islands. Instead, we head for the geologically younger, more rugged islands where there is some superb walking, and where the way of life is often relatively untouched by the outside world. We can enjoy the freshness of this new destination, while recognising that facilities will sometimes be limited. Our introduction to the archipelago is with the largest island of Santiago. Here we first stay on the coast at Cidade Velha, before travelling into the mountains to So Domingos, to see a glimpse of life in the very African interior.

  • A Preliminary Report on Expeditions Monsoon And
    A Preliminary Report on Expeditions Monsoon and Lusiad 1960 - 1963 University of California, San Diego Scripps Institution of Oceanography Cruises to the Indian Ocean By The Members of the Expedition Edited by Robert L. Fisher S. I. O. Reference 64-19 ― i ― FOREWORD Field participation in the International Indian Ocean Expedition by scientists and research vessels of the University of California's Scripps Institution of Oceanography comprises three multi- program investigations: MONSOON (1960-1), LUSIAD (1962-3) and DODO (1964). All three expeditions, though first broadly outlined in 1959, lie within the cooperative international exploration of the Indian Ocean being sponsored by the Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research and UNESCO. Therefore, though original schedules have to date been met, the programs have in fact been influenced and modified by the plans, interests and findings of other agencies and laboratories, and direct participation by marine scientists, students and trainees from other areas has been welcomed. Although the final SIO IIOE cruise, DODO, is just underway, a preliminary report on some generalized results of the first two expeditions seems appropriate now, with the clear understanding that many conclusions stated here may indeed be premature. Final analyses, syntheses and results will appear in more specialized formal publications and in the proposed SCOR-sponsored atlases which eventually will summarize Indian Ocean Expedition findings. At Scripps Institution, it is customary to give names, rather than number designations, to the major expeditions. The 1960-1 investigation, 3 ½ months in the Indian Ocean, embraced the first SIO field work in the "monsoon seas". It was funded primarily by the Office of Naval Research of the Navy Department, with auxiliary support for personnel and special equipment from the Bureau of Ships and the National Science Foundation.
