INTRODUCTION. The purpose of this paper is to record as briefly as possible the purely scientific facts concerning the T ertiary Palaeon­ tology of ,ivestern Washington. A short account is given of the character and distribution of the several divisions of the Tertiary and their faw1tis. A northwestern Tertiary province is recognized and an attempt is made to interpret its history from the cJose of the Cretaceous to the present time. A total T ertiary invertebrate marine fauna of two hundred and forty­ six species bas been discovered. Eighty-four of these Me new and are described and figured for the first time.

  • A Great Start for Hynomed SAS, a New Player in the Var for the Development of Green Hydrogen
    Press Release 21 October 2020 A great start for Hynomed SAS, a new player in the Var for the development of green hydrogen Albert Perez, Director of National & Southern Activities for ENGIE Solutions, Jacques Bianchi, President of the Var Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Richard Curnier, Regional Director of the Banque des Territoires en Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, Yves Le Trionnaire, Regional Director of the ADEME Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur and Yannick Chenevard, regional councillor representing the President of the Southern Region got the Hynomed SAS (simplified joint stock company) off the ground on 21 October 2020 in Toulon. This new green hydrogen production and distribution company, a strategic element in the Hynovar* project, aims to deploy a hydrogen ecosystem that will serve land and sea mobility in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region. Hubert Falco, President of the Métropole Toulon Provence Méditerranée sponsored the launch of this developmental project for the territory’s energy transition and the future of metropolitan mobility. Green hydrogen for sustainable mobility The Hynomed company can count on three solid shareholders: ENGIE Solutions (51 %), the Var CCI (24.5 %) and the Banque des Territoires (24.5 %): an alliance of the territory’s expertise and strengths that will allow it to deploy initially, in the Var, two green hydrogen production and distribution stations. To the west of the Toulon metropolitan area, the Brégaillon port site, which is an important hub for maritime, land and rail transport, is where the first station is planned to be. Technical studies and consultation with all stakeholders will confirm its definitive location.

  • Paleontology and Sedimentology of Middle Eocene Rocks in Lago Argentino Area, Santa Cruz Province, Argentina
    AMEGHINIANA (Rev. Asoc. Paleontol. Argent.) - 46 (1): 27-47. Buenos Aires, 30-04-2009 ISSN 0002-7014 Paleontology and sedimentology of Middle Eocene rocks in Lago Argentino area, Santa Cruz Province, Argentina Silvio CASADÍO1,2, Miguel GRIFFIN1,2, Sergio MARENSSI3,2, Laura NET4, Ana PARRAS1,2, Martín RODRÍGUEZ RAISING5,2 and Sergio SANTILLANA3 Abstract. Sedimentological and paleontological study of the Man Aike Formation at the Estancia 25 de Mayo, SW of Santa Cruz Province, Argentina, represents the evolution of an incised valley from fluvial to marine environment during the late middle Eocene. At the base of the unit there is an unconformity that corresponds to fluvial channels which cut down into the underlying Maastrichtian sandstones of the Calafate Formation. The fauna of invertebrates (mostly molluscs) illustrated herein was collected from shell beds interpreted as tidal ravinement surfaces. The fauna includes terebratulid brachiopods, bivalves of the families Malletiidae, Mytilidae, Pinnidae, Ostreidae, Pectinidae, Carditidae, Crassatellidae, Lahillidae, Mactridae, Veneridae, and Hiatellidae, and gastropods of the families Trochidae and Calyptraeidae, and a member of Archaeogastropoda of uncertain affinities. The similarities of this fauna with that recorded in the Upper Member of the Río Turbio Formation, together with 87Sr/86Sr ages, sug- gest a late Middle Eocene age for the Man Aike Formation. Resumen. PALEONTOLOGÍA Y SEDIMENTOLOGÍA DE LAS ROCAS DEL EOCENO MEDIO EXPUESTAS EN EL ÁREA DE LAGO ARGENTINO, PROVINCIA DE SANTA CRUZ, ARGENTINA. Los estudios sedimentológicos y paleontológicos real- izados en rocas asignadas a la Formación Man Aike, expuestas en la estancia 25 de Mayo, al sur de Calafate, provincia de Santa Cruz, Argentina, sugieren que esta unidad representa la evolución de un valle inciso desde ambientes fluviales a marinos durante el Eoceno medio tardío.

  • 870 000 M3 En 2018 Avec Un Peu Plus De 870 000 M3 En 2018, La Récolte De Bois En Région a Augmenté De 21 % En Trois Ans
    La statistique agricole Étude n°108 - Décembre 2019 Récolte de bois et production de sciages 2018 La récolte de bois portée par le débouché énergétique La récolte de bois dans la région a fortement augmenté en trois ans, portée par l’essor de son utilisation énergétique. En 2018, le volume récolté de bois d’œuvre progresse et retrouve son niveau de 2015. Les départements du Var et des Alpes-de-Haute-Provence restent les deux plus gros producteurs de la région. Malgré la hausse du volume de bois récolté dans la région, la production de sciages n’augmente toujours pas. La récolte de bois : 870 000 m3 en 2018 Avec un peu plus de 870 000 m3 en 2018, la récolte de bois en région a augmenté de 21 % en trois ans. Celle du bois énergie a doublé sur cette même période et s’élève en 2018 à 500 000 m3, représentant 57 % du volume mobilisé. L’augmentation de la part du bois énergie au cours de ces trois dernières années semble s’être réalisée en partie au détriment du bois d’industrie dont le volume mobilisé a diminué de 27 % sur cette même période. Phénomène qui ne s’était pas produit depuis 2011, le volume prélevé en bois d’œuvre a augmenté en 2018 (+14 % par rapport à 2017) tout en restant à un niveau très bas : 14 % de la récolte régionale. Les essences les plus récoltées pour cet usage sont le sapin, le mélèze et le pin sylvestre. L’année 2018 se caractérise par une mobilisation de plus de 3 000 m3 de peuplier en qualité sciage et déroulage.

  • Devotion and Development: ∗ Religiosity, Education, and Economic Progress in 19Th-Century France
    Devotion and Development: ∗ Religiosity, Education, and Economic Progress in 19th-Century France Mara P. Squicciarini Bocconi University Abstract This paper uses a historical setting to study when religion can be a barrier to the diffusion of knowledge and economic development, and through which mechanism. I focus on 19th-century Catholicism and analyze a crucial phase of modern economic growth, the Second Industrial Revolution (1870-1914) in France. In this period, technology became skill-intensive, leading to the introduction of technical education in primary schools. At the same time, the Catholic Church was promoting a particularly anti-scientific program and opposed the adoption of a technical curriculum. Using data collected from primary and secondary sources, I exploit preexisting variation in the intensity of Catholicism (i.e., religiosity) among French districts. I show that, despite a stable spatial distribution of religiosity over time, the more religious districts had lower economic development only during the Second Industrial Revolution, but not before. Schooling appears to be the key mechanism: more religious areas saw a slower introduction of the technical curriculum and instead a push for religious education. Religious education, in turn, was negatively associated with industrial development about 10-15 years later, when school-aged children would enter the labor market, and this negative relationship was more pronounced in skill-intensive industrial sectors.

The « 04 » as it is called, between the Alps and Provence, is rich in spectacular and contrasting landscapes. A splendid light-filled natural environment blessed with an exceptional Provencal climate, three typical touristic areas each with their own features and traditions. It is one of the vastest French departments (6925 Km²) with quite small population density: 160 000 inhabitants. Most important towns are Digne- les-Bains, Manosque, Forcalquier, Sisteron, Barcelonnette, Gréoux-les- Bains, Oraison, Castellane, Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, Saint-André-les-Alpes, or Banon 146 mountain lakes Among them, the well-known Lac d’Allos, the biggest lake in Europe at this altitude (2226 m) as well as a fisherman’s paradise.

In Europe, Ostrea edulis, the European flat oyster, and Ostreola stentina, the Provence oyster or dwarf oyster, are both present along the European and African, Atlantic and Mediterranean, coasts. In order to document the relationship not only between O. stentina and O. edulis, but also with the other Ostrea and Ostreola species, we performed a sequence analysis of the 16S mitochondrial fragment (16S rDNA: the large subunit rRNA-coding gene) and the COI fragment (COI: cytochrome oxidase subunit I).
