Las formas graníticas del macizo de l'Ardenya

Granitic Landforms in the Ardenya Massif (Girona, Spain). In this paper the main characteristics of the granite landforms in the Ardenya massif (Girona) are described. The relationship between this landforms and the lithology are analysed

Morfogénesis del valle de Sant Miquel de Campmajor

A series of circumstances which converge in a little valley in the province of Girona, result in a peculiar type of morphogenetic evolution and a quite singular mechanical instability of its buttons. Very recent tectonic movements as well as dissolution phenomena of its subsoil due to pressurized underground water have played an important role in the morphogenesis. Such conditions have resulted in a fast morphological evolution which a progressive lowering of the valley floor as well as peculiar morphological features which favour the existence of numerous pits caused by sudden collapses distributed in altitude and time

Interpretación sedimentológica y paleogeográfica del nivel de areniscas eocénicas de Sarrià de Ter (Prov. de Gerona)

There is in this work a description of sedimentological characters of the medium Eocene sandstone level from Sarriá de Ter (Gerona province Spain) and an interpretation of their genesis and situation in the regional paleogeography. The conclusion is that these sandstones form a deltaic channel(delta front). To wards the E and NE the become fluvial deposits, to wards the W, Plana de Vic, they become clay and silstones considered as a prodelta

Serie estratigráfica de Liásico de la provincia de Girona

From several small stratigraphic sections, we have reconstituted the Liassic interval of the Girona Province (NE Spain). We have been able to identify paleontologically the Carixian (Jamesoni, Ibex, and perhaps, Davoei zones), the Lower Domerian (Stockesi zone), and the Middle Toarcian (possibily Variabilis zone, as well as Thouarsense and Insigne zones). The Lower Toarcian (Serpentinus zone) is represented by fossil remains no ‘in situ’. The lowest Toarcián (Tenuicos-tatum zone) as well as the Middle and Upper Domerian (Margaritatus and Spinatum zones respectively, are probably represented by stratigraphic gaps

Estudio petrológico de las aplitas de la zona comprendida entre el Cap Roig y el Faro de San Sebastián (Gerona)

Estudi de les estructures i característiques petrològiques de les aplites que es localitzen al litoral entre el Cap Roig i el Far de Sant Sebastià (Llafranc, Girona)

Aprovechamiento educativo y turístico de formas erosivas tipo pilares de tierra (earth pillars, hoodoos) : ejemplos de la riera de Gaià (Vallès occidental, Barcelona) y del Bernal de Yátor (la Alpujarra, Granada)

Se describen los principales rasgos geomorfológicos de las formas erosivas de tipo pilares de tierra que se desarrollan en la Riera de Gaià (Barcelona) y en el Bernal de Yátor (Granada) Se trata de formas dinámicas, propias de zonas sometidas a una fuerte erosión hídrica, con un elevado interés científico, estético y didáctico

Principales características geoambientales en la región del alto Fluvià (Gerona)

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

Aportaciones al conocimiento del Mesozoico de la provincia de Girona: Jurásico

The general features of the mesozoic sediments of Girona province and also the detailed jurassic section are studied. In this section are identified paleontologically the Carixian, the Lower Domerian and the Midle Toarcian age

Sant Julià de Ramis y Puig Rom: dos ejemplos de yacimientos con armamento y equipamiento militar visigodo en el noreste peninsular

We present in this work a couple of weapons and objects related to the military equipment of early VIII century from two sites on Girona's province: the castellum of Sant Julià de Ramis (in the municipality of the same name), and the fort of Puig Rom (in Roses). The comparation of these materials has permitted to recompose a quite complete panoply with various types of knives and daggers, shield-handles, axes, spearheads and javelinheads, tips (regatones), arrowheads, belt-buckles and some buckles and horse harness elements

Multiple plume events in the genesis of the peri-Caribbean Cretaceous oceanic plateau province

The oceanic crust fragments exposed in central America, in north-western South America, and in the Caribbean islands have been considered to represent accreted remnants of the Caribbean-Colombian Oceanic Plateau (CCOP). On the basis of trace element and Nd, Sr, and Pb isotopic compositions we infer that cumulate rocks, basalts, and diabases from coastal Ecuador have a different source than the basalts from the Dominican Republic. The latter suite includes the 86 Ma basalts of the Duarte Complex which are light rare earth element (REE) -enriched and display (relative to normal mid-ocean ridge basalts, NMORB) moderate enrichments in large ion lithophile elements, together with high Nb, Ta, Pb, and low Th contents. Moreover, they exhibit a rather restricted range of Nd and Pb isotopic ratios consistent with their derivation from an ocean island-type mantle source, the composition of which includes the HIMU (high U-238/Pb-204) component characteristic of the Galapagos hotspot. In contrast, the 123 Ma Ecuadorian oceanic rocks have flat REE patterns and (relative to NMORB) are depleted in Zr, Hf, Th, and U. Moreover, they show a wide range of Nd and Pb isotopic ratios intermediate between those of ocean island basalts and NMORB. It is unlikely, on geochemical grounds, that the plume source of the Ecuadorian fragments was similar to that of the Galapagos. In addition, because of the NNE motion of the Farallon plate during the Early Cretaceous, the Ecuadorian oceanic plateau fragments could not have been derived from the Galapagos hotspot but were likely formed at a ridge-centered or near-ridge hotspot somewhere in the SE Pacific.

Indústria, mineria i artesania en toponímia rural: el cas del municipi d’Osor (la Selva)

The study presented is interdisciplinary names: the presence of place names related with industrial, artisanal or mining activities in rural areas. The main hypothesis refers to this fact; the uniqueness of industrial, mining or craft in a rural area is an important reason to influence their names, a fact that gives archaeological value, remembering economic activities now disappeared. The methodology used for the study has been usually applied in onomastic studies: compilation of names from field work, oral interviews, archival work, revision of ancient documents and revision of works and studies related to the cartography of Osor. The final conclusion is that, as proposed in the hypothesis, in a rural area as the studied, the low presence of industrial, artisanal or mining activities have generated place names that have helped in keeping the memory of economic activities now disappeared

La trayectoria residencial de la inmigración en Madrid y Barcelona. Un esquema teórico a partir del análisis cualitativo

El presente artículo busca proponer un esquema teórico que refleje el comportamientoresidencial de la población inmigrante en España. Dicho diagrama es el resultado de 50entrevistas en profundidad realizadas en las áreas metropolitanas de Madrid y Barcelona.El análisis del contenido de las entrevistas permite diferenciar etapas en el proceso migratoriode integración: el aterrizaje, la llegada, el asentamiento y la estabilización. Estas etapassintetizan el recorrido de un inmigrante extracomunitario en el camino hacia la satisfacción consu situación residencial.Cada etapa presenta diferencias en los criterios de localización residencial; en el tipo devivienda al que el inmigrante aspira; y en la composición del hogar. Asimismo, las etapasevolucionan de acuerdo con el origen del inmigrante, su capital humano, su acceso a redessociales y según si su proyecto migratorio es individual o familiar.
