Acondicionamiento de la línea de atraque y amarre para la adecuación de megacruceros en la alineación del muelle Poniente Norte de la Autoridad Portuaria de Baleares. Ports de Balears. Palma de Mallorca (I. Baleares)

El presente Proyecto tiene como objeto el estudio de las distintas alternativas de acondicionamiento de la línea de atraque y amarre para megacruceros en la alineación del muelle Poniente Norte, en el puerto de Palma de Mallorca. Dicho puerto ha venido experimentando durante los últimos años un considerable incremento en sus tráficos, como consecuencia del crecimiento económico de la Comunidad Autónoma de las Islas Baleares, teniendo un auge muy importante los cruceros turísticos. Para satisfacer las necesidades operativas que demanda este tipo de buques, así como dar respuesta al incremento de este tipo de tráfico, se requiere el disponer de nuevas líneas de atraque, así como adaptar las existentes a las necesidades que, por sus dimensiones, requieren los nuevos cruceros turísticos que llegan al Puerto de Palma. La actual alineación de la Ampliación de los Muelles de Poniente Norte tiene una longitud de 216 m. Este atraque es utilizado frecuentemente por buques del tipo crucero. La longitud de esta alineación, para este tipo de buques, ha quedado insuficiente, teniendo en cuenta la eslora de los barcos que hoy en día es necesario asignar a este puesto de atraque, que está en el entorno de los 250 m, y que provoca que la popa de los buques aquí atracados quede libre, fuera del muelle, sin puntos de apoyo, en una longitud considerable. El presente estudio para la adecuación de la línea de atraque y amarre del muelle Poniente Norte tiene como objeto precisamente el atraque y amarre de megacruceros de última generación concretamente se estudia para el buque tipo “Oasis of the Seas” de 361 metros de eslora, con motivo de la entrada prevista en el puerto. Se trata de uno de los buques de crucero de mayor tamaño de la actualidad. Debido a que la demanda de usuarios que deciden viajar en cruceros se está incrementando, las compañías navieras tienen la necesidad de crear buques de mayor tamaño para optimizar la carga de pasajeros y las instalaciones y calidades a bordo. Sin embargo, pocos puertos, en general los de mayor importancia y por tanto tamaño, gozan de instalaciones para poder atraer a estos grandes buques. Este Proyecto servirá de base a la contratación, por parte de la Autoridad Portuaria de Baleares, de los trabajos de Duque de Alba para la prolongación de la línea de atraque de la ampliación de Poniente Norte.

Uranium-series ages of fossil corals from Mallorca, Spain: The Neotyrrhenian high stand of the Mediterranean Sea revisited

[EN] The emergent marine deposits of the Mediterranean basin have been recognized as an important record of Quaternary sea level history for more than a century. Previous workers identified what have been interpreted to be two separate high stands of sea in the late Quaternary, namely the "Eutyrrhenian" (thought to be ~ 120 ka) and the "Neotyrrhenian" (thought to be either ~ 100 ka or ~ 80 ka). On Mallorca, Spain, both of these named deposits lie close to present sea level, implying paleo-sea levels slightly above present during both marine isotope stages (MIS) 5.5/5e and either 5.3/5c or 5.1/5a. If these interpretations are correct, they conflict, at least in part, with sea level records from far-field localities.

Report of the Workshop on Growth-increment Chronologies in Marine Fish: climate-ecosystem interactions in the North Atlantic 2 (WKGIC2). 18-22 April 2016 Esporles, Mallorca, Spain

Over the past several decades, thousands of otoliths, bivalve shells, and scales have been collected for the purposes of age determination and remain archived in European and North American fisheries laboratories. Advances in digital imaging and computer software combined with techniques developed by tree-ring scientists provide a means by which to extract additional levels of information in these calcified structures and generate annually resolved (one value per year), multidecadal time-series of population-level growth anomalies. Chemical and isotopic properties may also be extracted to provide additional information regarding the environmental conditions these organisms experienced.Given that they are exactly placed in time, chronologies can be directly compared to instrumental climate records, chronologies from other regions or species, or time-seriesof other biological phenomena. In this way, chronologies may be used to reconstruct historical ranges of environmental variability, identify climatic drivers of growth, establish linkages within and among species, and generate ecosystem-level indicators. Following the first workshop in Hamburg, Germany, in December 2014, the second workshop on Growth increment Chronologies in Marine Fish: climate-ecosystem interactions in the North Atlantic (WKGIC2) met at the Mediterranean Institute for Advanced Studies headquarters in Esporles, Spain, on 18–22 April 2016, chaired by Bryan Black (USA) and Christoph Stransky (Germany).Thirty-six participants from fifteen different countries attended. Objectives were to i) review the applications of chronologies developed from growth-increment widths in the hard parts (otoliths, shells, scales) of marine fish and bivalve species ii) review the fundamentals of crossdating and chronology development, iii) discuss assumptions and limitations of these approaches, iv) measure otolith growth-increment widths in image analysis software, v) learn software to statistically check increment dating accuracy, vi) generate a growth increment chronology and relate it to climate indices, and vii) initiate cooperative projects or training exercises to commence after the workshop.The workshop began with an overview of tree-ring techniques of chronology development, including a hands-on exercise in cross dating. Next, we discussed the applications of fish and bivalve biochronologies and the range of issues that could be addressed. We then reviewed key assumptions and limitations, especially those associated with short-lived species for which there are numerous and extensive otolith archives in European fisheries labs. Next, participants were provided with images of European plaice otoliths from the North Sea and taught to measure increment widths in image analysis software. Upon completion of measurements, techniques of chronology development were discussed and contrasted to those that have been applied for long-lived species. Plaice growth time-series were then related to environmental variability using the KNMI Climate Explorer. Finally, potential future collaborations and funding opportunities were discussed, and there was a clear desire to meet again to compare various statistical techniques for chronology development using a range existing fish, bivalve, and tree growth-increment datasets. Overall, we hope to increase the use of these techniques, and over the long term, develop networks of biochronologies for integrative analyses of ecosystem functioning and relationships to long-term climate variability and fishing pressure.

Review of the Psychodinae from Mallorca, Spain, with description of Pericoma unipennata, sp. n. (Diptera, Psychodidae)

We review the Psychodinae of Mallorca, recognising fifteen species based on recent collections and available literature. Previously unpublished data is presented for eleven species, of which Neoarisemus ibericus Wagner, 1978, Mormia tenebricosa (Vaillant, 1954), Clogmia albipunctata (Williston, 1893), Lepiseodina rothschildi (Eaton, 1913), Paramormia ustulata (Walker, 1856), Philosepedon pyrenaicus Vaillant, 1974 and Psychoda (Psycha) grisescens Tonnoir, 1922 are first records for Mallorca. An old record of Pericoma trifasciata (Meigen, 1804) is considered doubtful. Pericoma unipennata sp. n is described and illustrated based on a male collected at Deía. Distributional data are reviewed for all newly recorded species. Based on the Psychodinae fauna, the zoogeographical affinities of Mallorca are briefly discussed.
