Registered Charity No. 284013 The Micropalaeontological Society 10 TMS Newsletter vol. 98 I S F 12th Course Urbino - 9th - 28 th June, 2019 The 12th Course on Foraminifera is designed to provide an overview of the Taxonomy, Ecology, Biodiversity, and Geological History of Benthic and Planktonic Foraminifera. This intensive course is intended for students interested in Micropalaeontology, Palaeoceanography, Palaeoecology, Climate History, Biology, and Environmental applications. The aim is to provide a primer on the study of foraminifera and examples of how foraminifera can be used as (paleo)environmental and (paleo)oceanographical proxies. We review the current classification schemes of the foraminifera, discuss their ecology and life history, review their usefulness for biostratigraphical applications, and use case studies to investigate the geological history of the group with lab and practical sessions. The entire course consists of approximately 60 hours of lectures and 60 hours of practical work. Course Structure Four distinct courses are planned: Foraminiferal Introduction (10-14 June), Larger Benthic Foraminiferal Course (15- 18 June), Smaller Benthic Foraminiferal Course (20-24 June) and Planktonic Foraminiferal Course (25-28 June). Teaching format The course consists of lectures and practical classes covering the taxonomy, distribution, ecology, and paleoecology of foraminifera. Microscope lab sessions provide the opportunity for participants to learn the foraminiferal genera and species, and view Cretaceous to Neogene foraminiferal assemblages from Petroleum Exploration areas and ODP sites as well as Quaternary and modern assemblages. At the end of each lecture session, different tasks will be assigned to participants to reinforce the knowledge learned. Course

    Yatural Area: 23. Lincolnshire Marsh and Geological Significance: Notable Coast (provisional) General geological character: The solid geology of the Lincolnshire Marsh and Coast Natural Area is bminated by Cretaceous chalk (approximately 97-83 Ma) although the later Quaternary deposits (the last 2 Ma) give thc area its overall. charactcr. 'The chalk is only well exposed on thc south bank of the Humber, where quarries and cuttings providc exposures of the Upper Cretaceous Chalk. 'me chalk is a very pure limestone deposited on the floor of a tropical sea. During Quaternary timcs, the area was glaciated on several occasions and as a result the area is covered by a variety of glacial deposits, representing an unknown number of glacial ('lcc Age') and interglacial phases. rhe glacial deposits consist mainly of sands, gravels and clays in variable thicknesses. These are derived primarily from the erosion of surrounding bedrock and therefore tend to have similar lithological characteristics, usually with a high chalk content. The glacial deposits are particularly important because of the controversy surrounding their correlation with the timing and sequence in other parts of England, especially East Anglia. The Quaternary deposits are well exposed in coastal cliffs of the area. Key geological features: Coastal cliffs consisting of glacial sands, gravels and clays Exposures of Cretaceous chalk Number of GCR sites: Oxfordian: 1 Kimmeridgian: I Aptian-Rlbian: i Quaternary of Eastern England: 1 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~~ ~ ~ ~~ GeologicaVgeomorphological SSSI coverage: 'here are 2 (P)SSSIs in the Natural Area covering 4 GCR SlLs which represent 4 different GCR networks.

  • A Method to Extract Measurable Indicators of Coastal Cliff
    Journal of Marine Science and Engineering Article A Method to Extract Measurable Indicators of Coastal Cliff Erosion from Topographical Cliff and Beach Profiles: Application to North Norfolk and Suffolk, East England, UK Pablo Muñoz López 1, Andrés Payo 1,* , Michael A. Ellis 1 , Francisco Criado-Aldeanueva 2 and Gareth Owen Jenkins 1 1 British Geological Survey, Keyworth, Nottingham NG12 5GG, UK; [email protected] (P.M.L.); [email protected] (M.A.E.); [email protected] (G.O.J.) 2 Physical Oceanography Group, Department of Applied Physics II, University of Málaga, 29071 Málaga, Spain; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +44-0115-936-3103 Received: 29 November 2019; Accepted: 30 December 2019; Published: 2 January 2020 Abstract: Recession of coastal cliffs (bluffs) is a significant problem globally, as around 80% of Earth’s coastlines are classified as sea cliffs. It has long been recognised that beaches control wave energy dissipation on the foreshore and, as a result, can provide protection from shoreline and cliff erosion. However, there have been few studies that have quantified the relationship between beach levels and cliff recession rates. One of the few quantitative studies has shown that there is a measurable relationship between the beach thickness (or beach wedge area (BWA) as a proxy for beach thickness) and the annual cliff top recession rate along the undefended coast of North Norfolk and Suffolk in eastern England, United Kingdom (UK). Additionally, previous studies also found that for profiles with low BWA, the annual cliff top recession rate frequency distribution follows a bimodal distribution.

  • Cenozoic Chronostratigraphic Terminology: in Defense of Formal Subseries
    Cenozoic chronostratigraphic terminology: In defense of formal subseries Marie-Pierre Aubry Department of Earth & Planetary Sciences, Rutgers University, Piscataway, NJ 08854-8066 email: [email protected] ABSTRACT: Ever since the series and corresponding epochs of the Cenozoic began to be defined over 180 years ago, the Earth science community has recognized bi- and tripartite lower/early, middle, and upper/late divisions of these units. As chronostratigraphy became more precise, these divisions assumed an essential role in the integration of the continuous deep-sea successions where the tools for world- wide correlation were developed, and the historic but disjunct sequences on land in which the stages/ages of the time scale were defined. Rather than being discarded as too vague, the essential value of these subdivisions has been tacitly recognized by describing them in terms of the newly recognized global stages, allowing their boundaries to be identified by the GSSPs (Global Stratotype Section and Point) of the lowest component stage. In this way, and without noticeable controversy, the modern Cenozoic literature treats the lower, middle and upper divisions of its series as elements within the chronostratigraphic hierarchy, i.e., as de facto subseries. Their status in the hierarchy has none- theless been questioned recently by several members of the ICS (International Commission of Stratigraphy) Bureau on the basis that subseries, as such, have not been explicitly defined by ratified GSSPs. Accordingly, this rank has been omitted from versions of the ICC (International Chronostratigraphic Chart), a product of the ICS. Such omission fails to consider that subseries (and by inference subepochs) are valuable in circumstances where individual stages are inappropriate or often not applicable, e.g., in such disciplines as seis- mic stratigraphy and climatostratigraphy.
