Chronology, Causes and Progression of the Messinian Salinity Crisis

Until now, correlations of stable-isotope (d18O and d13C) records from open-ocean sequences to the Messinian Messinian salinity crisis event stratigraphy of the Mediterranean have been ambiguous because of the absence of a reliable time frame for the MSC.

Data Literature Review: Final Term Project GISWR Fall 2013- Maidment Madeline Clark Abstract: This study set out to gather data and conduct a preliminary analysis of water availability and quality in Morocco, and is part of an ongoing project to describe the physical and hydrological landscape of Morocco in real-time. For the purpose of consistency, this study has not focused on including the Western Sahara as part of its analysis. Due to gaps in data, this study will not be able to present a clear picture of the state of water availability and quality in Morocco, but important trends have become clear throughout the data collection and map- making process. This paper will center around three themes: water management in Morocco and the role of Office Nationale de l’Electricitié et l’Eau ONEP, water quality and human activity, and to the relationship between agricultural and water systems focused-aid and water availability and quality in Morocco. Future directions will include analyzing indices like the above, and public-health, governance, and socio-economic metrics (including but not limited to: access to clean drinking water, infant and maternal mortality, education, and income) at the municipality and household level. This study could also improve its use of advanced statistical and geo-statistical methods to forecast water availability and quality in highly populated basins. These ideas tie into the larger issues plaguing water management in Morocco, which include climate change, soil erosion, and an imbalance of water supply between north and south. Part One: Water Management Systems in Morocco Water management in Morocco is divided politically among three different levels of governmental and non-governmental agencies. -

Matieland 7602, South Africa ABSTRACT The Lu-Hf isotopic composition of detrital zircons has been used to investigate the crustal evolution of the northern part of the West African (raton (WAC). The zircons were separated from six samples of siliciclastic sedimentary rocks from the main Neoproterozic stratigraphic units of the Anti-Atlas belt, from the SiIWa and Zenaga inliers. The data suggest that the north part of the WAC formed during three cycles of juvenile crust formation with variable amount of reworking of older crust. The younger group of zircons, with a main population clustering around 610 Ma, has a predominant juvenile character and Keyworili: evidences of moderate mixing with Paleoproterozoic and Neoarchean crust, which supports that most Anti-Atlas belt igneous and metamorphic rocks where zircons originally crystallized were formed in an ensialic mag Morocco Hfisotopes matic arc environment. The group of zircons in the age range 1.79-2.3 Ca corresponds to the major crust Detrital zircon forming event in the WAC: the Eburnian orogeny. -

Tour Highlights.ICAA Morocco.2014.Eblast
ICAA Private Morocco: Casablanca and the Imperial Cities Exemplary Sites, Private Residences & Gardens of Rabat, Casablanca, Fes, Meknes & Marrakech Sponsored by Institute of Classical Architecture & Art Arranged by Pamela Huntington Darling, Exclusive Cultural Travel Programs Saturday, May 10th to Sunday, May 18th, 2014: 8 days & 8 nights The Kingdom of Morocco's rich and ancient culture bears the traces of conquerors, invaders, traders, nomads and colonists—from the Phoenicians and Romans to the Spanish and French. An extravagant mosaic of stunning landscapes, richly textured cities and welcoming people, Morocco's high mountain ranges, lush forests, sun-baked desserts and exotic cities, including many UNESCO World Heritage sites, make for a traveler's paradise. Gateway to Africa, the influence of the many peoples and cultures that have left their mark on this storied country is captured in the architecture and monuments, gardens, art, music and cuisine. The bustling bazaars and splendid Medinas, Kasbahs and mosques of Casablanca and the Imperial Cities offer travelers a tantalizing mix of ancient and modern. For eight magical days, in the company of our expert lecturer, we will explore some of Morocco's most important sites and monuments under privileged conditions and received by officials and prominent members of the community. We will enjoy rare and unique visits, receptions and dinners with the owners of superb private riads (palaces), and villas celebrated for their architecture, gardens, interior décor and world-class art collections, details of which will be sent to confirming participants. Tour Highlights Extra Day: Friday, May 9th: Rabat We recommend that you arrive in Casablanca one day prior to the official program. -
