This study is about the main characteristics of a large area in the province of Girona, the utilization of which has been historically poor, basically due to gecsnorphological causes. The analysis has been made considering the possibilities -both positive and negative - that the geological medium offers by appropiate use of the area, bearing in mind the possible impacts that these uses could have on the medium. The conclusions drawn from this study are shown in a series of maps

El entorno de la Depresión donde se ubica el lago de Banyoles presenta unas especiales características litológicas, morfológicas e hidrogeológicas que se traducen en unos claros ejemplos de inestabilidad gravitatoria. Esta ocasiona, en general, rápidas modificaciones de la superficie topográfica, que delimitan el uso territorial de la zona. Son relativamente frecuentes los fenómenos de inestabilidad de laderas, siempre coincidentes con episodiospluviométricos de carácter extraordinario, así como manifestaciones gravitatorias de hundimiento por colapso, ligadas a la carstificación del material yesífero infrayacente

Aquest treball planteja una proposta per reduir les dificultats d’aprenentatge a les aules de ciències mitjançant l’ús d’eines de regulació que ajuden a guiar la construcció del coneixement. Des de la perspectiva dels àmbits de la recerca educativa, aquest treball s’emmarca dins de l’aprenentatge de les ciències. El Disney experimental combina el mètode descriptiu (observació de dificultats d’aprenentatge i dels estils cognitius dels alumnes) amb la metodologia de recerca-acció, mitjançant l’ús d’eines de regulació per a transformar la realitat observada. L’estudi es va dur a terme durant l’aplicació d’una unitat didàctica amb alumnes de 3er ESO de l’assignatura de Biologia-Geologia per la qual es van dissenyar unes bases d’orientació específiques per a les dificultats previstes en aquesta unitat. Aquest treball aporta una valoració interessant de les eines de regulació per part dels alumnes i dels professors. S’utilitzen i analitzen instruments per conèixer l’estil cognitiu dels alumnes que poden ser útils pels docents, tant de ciències com d’altresmatèries.

The Pyrenees are an alpine chain with hercynian basement rocks that outcrop in a large area called the Axial Zone. These rocks have been involved in the alpine deformation events although their main structural features resulted from the Hercynian orogeny. A relevant characteristic of the Hercynian basement is a change in structural style in depth which has been commonly studied and interpreted in the Pallaresa Anticlinorium, in the Central Pyrenees. This anticlinorium is a complex hercynian structural unit whose southern part belongs to the suprastructure whereas the northern part corresponds mostly to a transition zone between the infrastructure and the suprastructure. Rocks of the suprastructure show a steeply dipping slaty cleavage as the dominant structure, which is overprinting folds and thrusts rarely going with pervasive deformation. The transition zone results from a slaty cleavage, very often close to the bedding, overprinted by one or two steep crenulation cleavages. A gradual boundary exists between both structural levels and it can be observed that the deformation developing slaty cleavage in the suprastructure grades to a crenulation foliation in the transition zone. The gradual character of that boundary, as seen in the northern end of the transition zone, suggests that the southern sharp boundary is not original. That boundary is interpreted as a northward dipping inverse fault, possibly with Alpine age. That fault causes a relative uplift of the rocks of the transition zone and gives this sharp boundary with the suprastructural levels. It provokes the asymmetry in the Pallaresa anticlinorium

Earthquakes represent a major hazard for populations around the world, causing frequent loss of life,human suffering and enormous damage to homes, other buildings and infrastructure. The Technology Resources forEarthquake Monitoring and Response (TREMOR) Team of 36 space professionals analysed this problem over thecourse of the International Space University Summer Session Program and published their recommendations in the formof a report. The TREMOR Team proposes a series of space- and ground-based systems to provide improved capabilityto manage earthquakes. The first proposed system is a prototype earthquake early-warning system that improves theexisting knowledge of earthquake precursors and addresses the potential of these phenomena. Thus, the system willat first enable the definitive assessment of whether reliable earthquake early warning is possible through precursormonitoring. Should the answer be affirmative, the system itself would then form the basis of an operational earlywarningsystem. To achieve these goals, the authors propose a multi-variable approach in which the system will combine,integrate and process precursor data from space- and ground-based seismic monitoring systems (already existing andnew proposed systems) and data from a variety of related sources (e.g. historical databases, space weather data, faultmaps). The second proposed system, the prototype earthquake simulation and response system, coordinates the maincomponents of the response phase to reduce the time delays of response operations, increase the level of precisionin the data collected, facilitate communication amongst teams, enhance rescue and aid capabilities and so forth. It isbased in part on an earthquake simulator that will provide pre-event (if early warning is proven feasible) and post-eventdamage assessment and detailed data of the affected areas to corresponding disaster management actors by means of ageographic information system (GIS) interface. This is coupled with proposed mobile satellite communication hubs toprovide links between response teams. Business- and policy-based implementation strategies for these proposals, suchas the establishment of a non-governmental organisation to develop and operate the systems, are included.

We present the results of a geological and geotechnical characterization of the metallurgic waste from the Sierra Minera de Cartagena-La Union. We have studied eight tailings dams from which we collected and analysed 42 samples of metallurgic waste. We measured grainsize distribution, the specific gravity of solid particles, plasticity index, permeability, both in situ and in the laboratory, direct shear characteristicsand moisture content. According to size distribution the tailings can be classified as sandy silt. Their plasticity index ranges from medium to nil. The internal friction angle varies between 28 and 42 degrees. Cohesion is between 0 and 2.2 t/m2. The specific gravity of the solid particles ranges widely from 1.8 to 4 g/cm3. The saturated hydraulic conductivity values vary between 1.3x 10-5 and 3.2x 10-9 m/s.The water content measured in situ shows that the degree of saturation remains relatively high despite low rainfall and high evaporation rates. Several tailings dams have failed. The leading causes of tailings-dam failure are: 1) slope instability; 2) overflow; 3) erosion; and 4) subsidence or collapse. The main factor leading to dam failure is that the tailings stored in the ponds are highly saturated

Learning activities outside the classroom in Earth Sciences are considered fundamental to achieve an adequate level of knowledge. New pedagogical perspectives, structured in competency-based activities, provide a useful tool to improve the effectiveness of field geology classes. In this paper, we point out some general educational aspects, and we propose a curriculum design focused on accomplishing the competencies that go with fieldtrips in Geology courses

We present a georeferenced photomosaic of the Lucky Strike hydrothermal vent field (Mid-Atlantic Ridge, 37°18’N). The photomosaic was generated from digital photographs acquired using the ARGO II seafloor imaging system during the 1996 LUSTRE cruise, which surveyed a ~1 km2 zone and provided a coverage of ~20% of the seafloor. The photomosaic has a pixel resolution of 15 mm and encloses the areas with known active hydrothermal venting. The final mosaic is generated after an optimization that includes the automatic detection of the same benthic features across different images (feature-matching), followed by a global alignment of images based on the vehicle navigation. We also provide software to construct mosaics from large sets of images for which georeferencing information exists (location, attitude, and altitude per image), to visualize them, and to extract data. Georeferencing information can be provided by the raw navigation data (collected during the survey) or result from the optimization obtained from imatge matching. Mosaics based solely on navigation can be readily generated by any user but the optimization and global alignment of the mosaic requires a case-by-case approach for which no universally software is available. The Lucky Strike photomosaics (optimized and navigated-only) are publicly available through the Marine Geoscience Data System (MGDS, http://www.marine-geo.org). The mosaic-generating and viewing software is available through the Computer Vision and Robotics Group Web page at the University of Girona (http://eia.udg.es/_rafa/mosaicviewer.html)

En el proceso de inversión de la función de directividad para la obtención de la longitud de falla y velocidad de mptura, en el caso de terremotos de magnitud media, es muy dificil obtener ambos parámetros independientemente y deben hacerse hipótesis sobre uno de los dos parámetros. Proponemos una solución a este problema mediante un proceso iterativo, que iniciamos con un valor hipotético de la velocidad de ruptura. El resultado final resulta ser independiente del valor de partida. Mediante este proceso hemos obtenido la longitud de falla y velocidad de ruptura de dos terremotos, el del 18-nov-1970, ocurrido en la Dorsal Oriental del Pacifico, y el del 4-jul-1966, ocurrido en la Dorsal Centro-Atlántica. Para el sismo del 18-nov-1970 los valores obtenidos en la b = (18 4- 1) km v = (2.3 f 0.1) kmls y para el sismo del 4-jul-1966 b = (19 f 2) km, v = (2.1 i 0.1) kmls. Las desviaciones tipicas de estos parámetros, del orden del 5-10 %, son inferiores a las obtenidas en trabajos previos.

La reducción al polo, los gradientes horizontales, los mapas de relieves sombreados y la continuación analítica ascendente (CAA) constituyen transformaciones del campo magnético ampliamente utilizadas durante el estudio de la estructura geológica de una región. En la región de Moa (NE de Cuba) estas transformaciones se emplean para resaltar alineaciones en los datos magnéticos que constituyen estructuras tectónicas disyuntivas o zonas de contactos abruptos, así como la estructura geológica en profundidad. Con el análisis de estas transformaciones del campo se comprobó que los principales sistemas de fallas de la región de estudio se manifiestan en el comportamiento del campo magnético, particularmente en los mapas de relieve sombreados a partir de zonas alineadas. En estos mismos mapas se repiten alineaciones con dirección noroeste y noreste que no coinciden con las estructuras descritas en los mapas morfotectónico y geológico, destacando zonas que pueden constituir contactos tectónicos o litológicos no citados en trabajos anteriores. Para la mayoría de las estructuras, los mapas analizados sugieren posiciones, longitudes e incluso formas algo distintas a las señaladas en los mapas morfotectónico y geológico. A partir del modelaje interactivo en los perfiles de interpretación trazados a través de las principales anomalías, se deduce que loscuerpos anómalos poseen formas de cuñas y de capas verticales o ligeramente inclinadas en algunos de sus extremos. Además, yacen a poca profundidad (0-400 m), con la excepción de algunos cuerpos que pueden alcanzar más de 1000 m de profundidad en su límite inferior (perfil III-III' y XII-XII'). Estos resultados corroboran el carácter alóctono de las unidades ofiolíticas en esta región.

Els materials pre-hercinians i el granit de Costabona estan travessats per un conjunt de filons de quars de fins a 15 km de longitud, coneguts com a 'Esquerdes de Roja'. Aquests filons estan localment afectats per un sistema de bandes milonítiques i per un altre posterior de fractures. A partir de l'anilisi microtermometrica de les inclusions fluides primàries en quars, ha estat obtinguda una temperatura de formació de l'ordre de + 280 C per la major part del quars, i una temperatura de + 250 C per als monocristalls que omplen esquerdes i cavitats. Els filons s'haurien format a partir de solucions mineralitzants que contenien ~ a + C, a++, K+ i, en menor proporció, ~ g + + .fins una salinitat total de l'ordre del 20/@ en pes de la Na CI.

The Mediterranean Sea is a relative newcomer to Earth"s landscape. Due to its complex tectonic history, this mid-latitude sea is composed of a cluster of basins. Their seascape is in most cases dominated by geologically young structures, but also by sedimentary processes. Among the latter, sedimentary processes related to the dynamics of the largest rivers in the Mediterranean (Ebro, Rhône, Po, Danube, and Nile) stand out. This overview article illustrates the main sedimentary processes and their products contributing to shape the Mediterranean seascape within a source-tosink approach. To highlight this approach, this article mainly focuses on one of the EUROSTRATAFORM project study areas: the northwestern Mediterranean.
