Typically, salt-influenced deep-water successions are poorly imaged in seismic reflection data, and exhumed systems are rare, hence the detailed sedimentology and stratigraphic architecture of these systems remains poorly understood. The exhumed Triassic (Keuper) Bakio and Guernica salt bodies in the Basque–Cantabrian Basin, Spain, were active during deep-water sedimentation. The salt diapirs grew reactively, then passively, during the Aptian–Albian, and are flanked by deep-water carbonate (Aptian–earliest Albian Urgonian Group) and siliciclastic (middle Albian– Cenomanian Black Flysch Group) successions. The study compares the depositional systems in two salt-influenced minibasins, confined (Sollube basin) and partially confined (Jata basin) by actively growing salt diapirs, comparable to salt-influenced minibasins in the subsurface. -

Biodiversity and Conservation of Wildlife and Natural Habitats
Chapter 21 Biodiversity and conservation of wildlife and natural habitats Raúl Castroa, Ainhize Uriartea, Amalia Martínez de Murguíab and Ángel Borjaa a AZTI Foundation, Department of Oceanography and Marine Environment; Herrera Kaia, Portualdea s/n, Pasaia, Spain b Sociedad de Oceanografía de Gipuzkoa (AQUARIUM · Plaza Carlos Blasco de Imaz, s/n · 20003 San Sebastián) 21.1. Introduction: the international legislative framework Marine biodiversity management includes both species conservation and marine habitats, by means of an increasing international legislative framework. The international treaties include: the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, signed in Washington on 03/03/1973 (CITES; www.cites.org); the Convention on Migratory Species, signed in Bonn on 23/06/79 (CMS); the Ramsar Convention of Wetlands, signed in Ramsar on 02/02/1971 (Ramsar); the Convention on Biological Diversity (Biodiv), signed in Rio de Janeiro on 05/06/1992; and the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling, signed in Washington on 02/12/1946 (IWCoffice). On the other hand, the Spanish Government signed the Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural Habitats, in Bern on 19/09/1979 (Bern Convention), a regional treaty for the European conservation of wildlife and the natural environment, by means of inter-state cooperation. The Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment of the North-East Atlantic (OSPAR Convention) was signed also by Spain in Paris, on 22/09/1992. Finally, the Convention for the Afroeuroasiatic Migrating Aquatic Birds Conservation was signed in La Hague, on 15/08/96 (BOE nº 256, 11/12/01). -
Programme 3 the Norman Conquest of Pembrokeshire
PROGRAMME 3 THE NORMAN CONQUEST OF PEMBROKESHIRE Introduction. We’re walking through Pembrokeshire and Britain’s only coastal national park to discover how a group of French-speaking warriors turned this corner of Wales into a place still known as ‘Little England beyond Wales’. Home to miles of rugged coast line, beautiful beaches and incredible wildlife, it’s a landscape and culture heavily shaped by the Normans. Unlike the knockout victory of Hastings, this conquest was a long, fiercely fought struggle. Over time the Normans turned a Welsh speaking Kingdom into an English speaking shire dominated by castles, churches and the amazing cathedral in the city of St Davids. .Walking Through History Day 1 . From St Davids, we’ll make our way along the coastal cliffs, learning about the Norman’s first meetings with the native Welsh. We’ll start by walking in the footsteps of England’s greatest warrior king – William the Conqueror. St Davids to Newgale via Pembrokeshire Coastal Path Distance: 10 miles Day 2 . Heading inland, we’re walking the rough frontier the Norman’s fought to create with the rest of Wales. We’ll trace this boundary – or Landsker Line – that formed as Normans and Flemings flooded in, past early defences at Hayscastle and Wolfcastle. Climbing Great Treffgarne Mountain gives the perfect look out over the landscape facing the invaders. Finally we head south-west, to discover how the native Welsh fought back as I reach Wiston. Newgale to Wiston via Hayscastle, Wolfcastle and Great Treffgarne Mountain Distance: 20 miles Day 3 . The River Cleddau is our guide on Day 3, as we find out how a stunning welsh princess seduced Normans, Welsh and English alike. -

E-mail: [email protected] 2Department of Applied Physics II, Fac. of Science and Technology, University of the Basque Country, Barrio Sarriena s/n, 48940-Leioa (Spain). Abstract Troughout the last decade, several regime shifts and anomaly patterns for different climatic indices (ENSO, NAO, EA, etc.) have been described, due to unusual values and/or persistent cumulative anomalies. For the inner (southeastern) Bay of Biscay, the prevalence of positive values of the East Atlantic (EA) pattern, since 1998, affects the transport and subsequent properties of the upper water masses. The mesoscale effect, related mainly to the intensification of the British Isles low atmospheric pressure centre, drives also the moisture transport, storm frequency and intensity, etc. As a consequence of the shift in the EA pattern, several structural factors of the coastal and pelagic ecosystems show seasonal and/or annual anomaly patterns, in recent years. For instance, assessment of the recruitment of the Bay of Biscay anchovy, as well as of the benthic communities (macroalgae, barnacles, etc.), based upon climatic and oceanographic variables, show also responses to these anomaly patterns. Factors such as the turbulence-stability and upwelling-downwelling dualities; saline stratification and coastal fertilisation by precipitation and continental runoff; and other coupled oceano-meteorological variables are considered. -

MARCH, 1878. THE LAND OF MORGAN.—THE CHIEF LORDS. BY G. T. CLARK. ROBERT FITZ-HAMON, of whom and his conquest some- thing has aheady been said, married Sybil, a daughter of Roger de Montgomery, and sister to Robert de Belesme, and by her had four daughters. At the instance of his wife he endowed the old Mercian foundation of Tewkes- bury, founded in 715, and of which Brichtric had been the patron, and this so liberally that he was ever re- garded as the real founder. He found it subject to Cranbourn in Dorset, but reversed their relative position by the removal of the Cranbourn Priory to the new establishment, of which it was continued as a cell only. The new Tewkesbury was founded in 1102, and was confirmed by William Rufus in a charter of which Fitz-Hamon was one of the witnesses, as he was also of that king's charters to St. -

Whether they mounted their attacks from the north or the south, when Norman barons invaded Wales after the Norman Conquest of 1066, they almost invariably ended up in West Wales and consolidated their position by building fortresses. Initially, these were simple “motte and bailey” constructions, typically built on a mound with ditches and/or wooden barricades for protection. -

Gherardini Was Otterus, Or Othoer, Son of Mathias, a Son of Cosmus, the Great Duke of Florence
Otho Gherardini was Otterus, or Othoer, son of Mathias, a son of Cosmus, the great Duke of Florence. They were also of the Ferrara-Modena branch of the House D'Este, the younger branch penetrating to the Teutonic domains of Charlemagne to found the royal families of Brunswick and Hanover in what is now Germany. Some records say that Otho went to Normandy in the caravan of King Canut of England who had passed through Florence on his way home from a pilgrimage to Rome. It is said that he came into England later with Edward the Confessor when he was called back from exile to be King of England. There is an old lyric quote in English records which says "the Earldom which to Otho brave, the Saxon sainted Edward gave". His son, Otho Fitz-Othoer appears in 1058 in the Domesday Book as a baron of England. This man, Otho, was the ancestor of Gerald de Windsor. Gerald was the ancestor of the Fitzgeralds, Fitzmaurices, Carews, Redmonds and Keatings of Ireland, among others. Otho was so powerful that his favor with the King was greatly resented by the native Norman nobles. He possessed three lordships in Surrey, three in Buckinghamshire, two in Berkshire, four in Middlesex, nine in Wiltshire, two in Hampshire, three in Dorset, and one in Somerset. With him, the family name was changed to Geraldini. Otho's son, Walter fitz-Otho Geraldini, was treated as a fellow countryman by the Normans after the conquest of England in 1066. He succeeded to all of Otho's estates and his name is shown in the Domesday Book of 1087 that listed all the landholders of England. -
