Identification of tsunami-induced deposits using numerical modeling and rock magnetism techniques: A study case of the 1755 Lisbon tsunami in Algarve, Portugal

Storm- and tsunami-deposits are generated by similar depositional mechanisms making their discrimination hard to establish using classic sedimentologic methods. Here we propose an original approach to identify tsunami-induced deposits by combining numerical simulation and rock magnetism. To test our method, we investigate the tsunami deposit of the Boca do Rio estuary generated by the 1755 earthquake in Lisbon which is well described in the literature. We first test the 1755 tsunami scenario using a numerical inundation model to provide physical parameters for the tsunami wave. Then we use concentration (MS. SIRM) and grain size (chi(ARM), ARM, B1/2, ARM/SIRM) sensitive magnetic proxies coupled with SEM microscopy to unravel the magnetic mineralogy of the tsunami-induced deposit and its associated depositional mechanisms. In order to study the connection between the tsunami deposit and the different sedimentologic units present in the estuary, magnetic data were processed by multivariate statistical analyses. Our numerical simulation show a large inundation of the estuary with flow depths varying from 0.5 to 6 m and run up of similar to 7 m. Magnetic data show a dominance of paramagnetic minerals (quartz) mixed with lesser amount of ferromagnetic minerals, namely titanomagnetite and titanohematite both of a detrital origin and reworked from the underlying units. Multivariate statistical analyses indicate a better connection between the tsunami-induced deposit and a mixture of Units C and D. All these results point to a scenario where the energy released by the tsunami wave was strong enough to overtop and erode important amount of sand from the littoral dune and mixed it with reworked materials from underlying layers at least 1 m in depth. The method tested here represents an original and promising tool to identify tsunami-induced deposits in similar embayed beach environments.

O lugar da música no ensino básico

Fazer MÚSICA caracteriza-nos como espécie, faz parte da nossa essência. Gostamos de a fazer porque ela nos permite partilhar algo com os outros, fortalecendo e estabilizando a nossa personalidade. E todos somos capazes de a fazer. É verdade que quando nos comparamos com os instrumentistas poucos nos consideraremos músicos ou sequer “musicais”, no entanto todos já nos envolvemos em muitas e variadas atividades musicais. Na Escola, o debate sobre o que se deve aprender e a hierarquia dos saberes vem desde Platão, mas hoje sabemos que a MÚSICA dá contributos essenciais e únicos: o seu potencial criativo; é uma forma de comunicação emocional; as suas funções nas comunidades. Assim, o entendimento atual em vários Sistemas Educativos Ocidentais é o de ensinar MÚSICA a todos, de desenvolver as capacidades musicais de todas as crianças, numa perspetiva do desenvolvimento global das capacidades inatas do ser humano. Para isto, quem melhor que o professor da turma para integrar a MÚSICA com as outras áreas do saber.

Palaeomagnetism, rock magnetism and AMS of the Cabo Magmatic Province, NE Brazil, and the opening of South Atlantic

P>Reconstruction of the South Atlantic opening has long been a matter of debate and several models have been proposed. One problem in tracing properly the Atlantic history arises from the existence of a long interval without geomagnetic reversals, the Cretaceous Normal Superchron, for which ages are difficult to assign. Palaeomagnetism may help in addressing this issue if high-quality palaeomagnetic poles are available for the two drifting continental blocks, and if precise absolute ages are available. In this work we have investigated the Cabo Magmatic Province, northeastern Brazil, recently dated at 102 +/- 1 Ma (zircon fission tracks, Ar39/Ar40). All volcanic and plutonic rocks showed stable thermal and AF demagnetization patterns, and exhibit primary magnetic signatures. AMS data also support a primary origin for the magnetic fabric and is interpreted to be contemporaneous of the rock formation. The obtained pole is located at 335.9 degrees E/87.9 degrees S (N = 24; A(95) = 2.5; K = 138) and satisfies modern quality criteria, resulting in a reference pole for South America at similar to 100 Ma. This new pole also gives an insight to test and discuss the kinematic models currently proposed for the South Atlantic opening during mid-Cretaceous.

Magma flow, exsolution processes and rock metasomatism in the Great Messejana-Plasencia dyke (Iberian Peninsula)

Magma flow in dykes is still not well understood; some reported magnetic fabrics are contradictory and the potential effects of exsolution and metasomatism processes on the magnetic properties are issues open to debate. Therefore, a long dyke made of segments with different thickness, which record distinct degrees of metasomatism, the Messejana-Plasencia dyke (MPD), was studied. Oriented dolerite samples were collected along several cross-sections and characterized by means of microscopy and magnetic analyses. The results obtained show that the effects of metasomatism on rock mineralogy are important, and that the metasomatic processes can greatly influence anisotropy degree and mean susceptibility only when rocks are strongly affected by metasomatism. Petrography, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and bulk magnetic analyses show a high-temperature oxidation-exsolution event, experienced by the very early Ti-spinels, during the early stages of magma cooling, which was mostly observed in central domains of the thick dyke segments. Exsolution reduced the grain size of the magnetic carrier (multidomain to single domain transformation), thus producing composite fabrics involving inverse fabrics. These are likely responsible for a significant number of the 'abnormal' fabrics, which make the interpretation of magma flow much more complex. By choosing to use only the 'normal' fabric for magma flow determination, we have reduced by 50 per cent the number of relevant sites. In these sites, the imbrication angle of the magnetic foliation relative to dyke wall strongly suggests flow with end-members indicating vertical-dominated flow (seven sites) and horizontal-dominated flow (three sites).

Study of the Saldanha Massif (MAR, 36 degrees 34 ' N): Constrains from rock magnetic and geophysical data

We present a study of the magnetic properties of a group of basalt samples from the Saldanha Massif (Mid-Atlantic Ridge - MAR - 36degrees 33' 54" N, 33degrees 26' W), and we set out to interpret these properties in the tectono-magmatic framework of this sector of the MAR. Most samples have low magnetic anisotropy and magnetic minerals of single domain grain size, typical of rapid cooling. The thermomagnetic study mostly shows two different susceptibility peaks. The high temperature peak is related to mineralogical alteration due to heating. The low temperature peak shows a distinction between three different stages of low temperature oxidation: the presence of titanomagnetite, titanomagnetite and titanomaghemite, and exclusively of titanomaghemite. Based on established empirical relationships between Curie temperature and degree of oxidation, the latter is tentatively deduced for all samples. Finally, swath bathymetry and sidescan sonar data combined with dive observations show that the Saldanha Massif is located over an exposed section of upper mantle rocks interpreted to be the result of detachment tectonics. Basalt samples inside the detachment zone often have higher than expected oxidation rates; this effect can be explained by the higher permeability caused by the detachment fault activity.

Aprender a ler música sem partitura

Aprendemos a falar ouvindo, balbuciando sons, reconhecendo palavras, imitando, repetindo, percebendo, experimentando e “improvisando” frases. Falando, vamos aprendendo a pensar e a comunicar. Só passados uns anos aprendemos a ler. Fazer música antes de aprender a ler, antes mesmo de tocar um instrumento, é o percurso pedagógico que escolhemos para os nossos alunos. Neste workshop, a canónica trindade “ritmo - melodia - harmonia” estará presente em jogos, lengalengas e canções tradicionais que permitem ~ a crianças, jovens ou adultos - aprender brincando. Servir-nos-emos de sons, de palavras e de movimento e usaremos técnicas seculares como nomes de notas ou fonomímicas. Cantar e associar sílabas ou gestos à duração e à altura relativa dos sons (em linhas melódicas ou sequências harmónicas) desenvolve a audição, a memória, permite imitar com mais precisão, ouvir interiormente, “ler música” sem perder o contacto visual com o professor e “reagindo musicalmente”. Estas técnicas favorecem a concentração e o “saber estar” em grupo e permitem “visualizar” o desenvolvimento auditivo dos alunos, saber' em “tempo real” como ouvem/percebem música ou, simplesmente, se estão a ouvir/perceber. Queremos que os nossos alunos aprendam a ler, cantando, (inicialmente) sem partitura e com prazer.
