These obstacles make ultra-peripheral regions suitable case studies considering their territorial governance and consequently, sustainable development and growth. Thus, transportation and infrastructure sustainability in these regions are not an exception. Con- sidering all the obstacles present in these regions, the accessibility and connectivity patterns that the local population has in these territories should be assessed and monitored. -
Azores Introduction
SAILING ROUTE AZORES INTRODUCTION Hello sailors, Welcome to the Azores. Enjoy your sailing vacation while discovering the Seas of Azores, a unique destination in Portugal. Find your way between the wonders of these nine islands while being accompanied by dolphins. When sailing around the coastline of an island, it is possible to see the green landscape descending towards the crystal clear waters of the ocean. Get ready to make your nautical miles and to “Free Your Inner Captain”. In this document you’ll find some extra information to help you on your way this sailing trip. adeus! - Barqo GENERAL INFORMATION Welcome to the Azores! Follow the suggestes route to see some of the most beautiful places that Portugal has to offer. WEATHER The weather in the Azores is changeable! The islands enjoy a mild temperate climate throughout the year and benefit from the Gulf Stream; a current of warm water that heads north east from the Gulf of Mexico. The average air temperature varies between 11 and 26°C depending on the time of year and the surrounding ocean averages between 15 and 25°C. TIME ZONE Azores Time (GMT-1.00).

Ocean Drilling Program Scientific Results Volume
Haggerty, J.A., Premoli Suva, L, Rack, R, and McNutt, M.K. (Eds.), 1995 Proceedings of the Ocean Drilling Program, Scientific Results, Vol. 144 2. PLANKTONIC FORAMINIFER BIOSTRATIGRAPHY AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF PELAGIC CAPS ON GUYOTS IN THE MARSHALL ISLANDS GROUP1 Paul N. Pearson2 ABSTRACT Five guyots were drilled on Ocean Drilling Program Leg 144, three of which possess thick caps of pelagic sediment. These guyots (Limalok, Site 871; Lo-En, Site 872; and Wodejebato, Site 873) belong to the Marshall Islands group of seamounts. Pelagic sediments of late Oligocene to Holocene age were recovered from them. In each case, the sediment was found to be unconsolidated on recovery and contain very abundant planktonic foraminifers, particularly in the >150-µm size range. Preservation of tests is generally good, with most showing only minor signs of dissolution or recrystallization, although many samples have a high proportion of fragmented material in the fine fraction. Planktonic foraminifer faunas are diverse and consist predominantly of warm-water species. A typically western Pacific fauna occurs throughout the Miocene. Biostratigraphic assignment was generally straightforward except for the bottommost interval of the pelagic caps where severe reworking (sediment mixing) is a common feature. A significant hiatus was found at each site between drowning of the carbonate platform and the onset of pelagic sediment accumulation. Thus, the platforms were apparently swept clean of sediments, with the exception of isolated ponds, until subsidence took the guyots sufficiently deep for sediment to accumulate in large quantities. Backtracking of subsidence paths for each guyot suggests that pelagic cap formation began at depths of between 700 and 1000 mbsl. -

Eleven ostracod species were identified in the genera Cytherella Jones, Cytherelloidea Alexander, Eocytheropteron Alexander, Semicytherura Wagner, Paracosta Siddiqui, Buntonia Howe, Soudanella Apostolescu, Leguminocythereis Howe and, probably, Pataviella Liebau. The planktonic foraminifera are represented by the genera Guembelitria Cushman, Parvularugoglobigerina Hofker, Woodringina Loeblich and Tappan, Heterohelix Ehrenberg, Zeauvigerina Finlay, Muricohedbergella Huber and Leckie, and Praemurica Olsson, Hemleben, Berggren and Liu. The ostracods and foraminifera analyzed indicate an inner shelf paleoenvironment for the studied section. Blooms of Guembelitria spp., which indicate either shallow environments or upwelling zones, were also recorded reinforcing previous paleoenvironmental interpretations based on other fossil groups for this basin. -
Gravimetric Determination of an Intrusive Complex Under the Island of Faial (Azores): Some Methodological Improvements

Received 2007 June 26; in original form 2006 September 6 SUMMARY We present some improvements of a gravity inversion method to determine the geometry of the anomalous bodies for priori density contrasts. The 3-D method is based on an exploratory process applied, not for the global model, but for the steps of a growth approach. The (positive and/or negative) anomalous structure is described by successive aggregation of cells, while its corresponding gravity field remains nearly proportional to the observed one. Moreover, a simple (e.g. linear) regional trend can be simultaneously adjusted. The corresponding program is applied to new gravity data on the volcanic island of Faial (Azores archipelago). The inver- sion approach shows a subsurface anomalous structure for the island, the main feature being an elongated high-density body. The body is interpreted as a compact sheeted dyke swarm, emplaced along Faial-Pico Fracture Zone, a leaky transform structure that forms the current boundary between Eurasian and African plates in the Azores area. -

Faial, Blue, Cosmopolitan Island
Faial, blue, cosmopolitan island ABOUT Photo: Publiçor Faial, blue, cosmopolitan island Faial is located in the central group of the Azores archipelago, and is part of the so called "triangle islands", together with São Jorge and the neighbouring Island of Pico, separated by the Faial Channel, a narrow sea inlet about 8 km wide. The Island covers an area of about 172km2, and is 21km long, with a maximum width of 14km. It was discovered in 1427 and colonised in 1432 by a number of Flemish settlers. It was given the name Faial because there are many beech trees here (faias), but no other island can boast such a huge mass of hydrangeas in different shades of blue, which frame the houses, separate the fields and border the roads, justifying the nickname Blue Island. Faial underwent considerable development from the 17th century on, making it an important trading post due to its geographical position as a safe haven between Europe and the Americas. More recently it was the communications hub between the continents and today is a mandatory point of reference for international yachting. The highest point is Cabeço Gordo, in the centre of the island, at 1,043m above sea level. It is a magnificent natural viewpoint which in fine weather enables you to see all the islands of the triangle and as far as Graciosa. Close by lies a huge crater called Caldeira, about 2km in diameter and 400m deep. It is surrounded by blue hydrangeas and lush vegetation, amongst which cedars, junipers, beeches, ferns and mosses stand out, and some of which are important examples of the original vegetation of the island.
