La Intrusió salina a Sant Antoni de Calonge: la geologia al servei de la gestió territorial

L’extracció intensiva d’aigua subterrània en zones properes a la costa pot produir canvis en les condicions hidrogeològiques naturals dels aqüífers costaners. Les conseqüències més evidents d’aquest fenomen són el descens del nivell freàtic, la intrusió salina i els riscos geotècnics que se’n deriven i que poden afectar l’estabilitat de les edificacions que hi ha a la zona. Per encàrrec de l’Ajuntament de Calonge, el centre GEOCAMB de la UdG ha fet un estudi sobre aquest problema en el seu terme municipal

Imposicions estructurals en el drenatge de la conca del riu Onyar (Girona)

The Onyar River basin is situated in the depression of la Selva. His origins are related to tectonic activity during Neogen in this region. In his evolution, we note a slowly and continuous downfall which directs the morphodinamical behaviour. In this sense, the drainage network has a directional trend towards the north, as consecuence of fault systems, and specially the N-S oriented one. A fault of this system has an important influence in the basin morphology, directs the drainage towards the north and avoids a closely drainage in the basin

Participació de les aigües subterrànies en la gènesi d'ambients palustres continentals: el cas dels prats de Sant Sebastià (Caldes de Malavella, Girona)

The area known as 'prats de Sant Sebastià' is in Caldes de Malavella. It is part of the wetlands located in the south-eastern end of the Selva Basin. Several areas with unusually high conductivity (EC up to 24,500 uS/cm) have been identified in this place. This fact allows highly specialised and comparatively rare botanical species to grow in this area. These saline soils follow a north-south line-up. The geophysical data, obtained with a field conductivemeter (EM 31), show that this superficial line-up continues in the subsoil. In addition to this, the conductivity cartography, made for an electromagnetic exploration depth of 6 meters, shows that the width of the region where these salinity anomalies take place increases in depth. When included in the hidrogeological context of this sector of the Selva Basin, these data bring new elements for the study of the genesis and working of these marshy environments. The model that future research will have to confirm, maintains that the groundwater discharges coming from the underlying hydrogeothermal aquifer are a conditioning factor of the aforementioned phenomenon. This ascending flow of highly mineralised waters (TDS of about 3,500 mg/l) can produce and keep stable the soil salinity

El PEIN cinc anys després, balanç i perspectives

El dia 27 de febrer de 1998 va tenir lloc a la Universitat de Girona la jornada «El PEIN cinc anys després: balanç i perspectives», organitzada per la Càtedra de Geografia i Pensament Territorial (UdG) i la Societat Catalana d’Ordenació del Territori. L’objectiu era reflexionar sobre el Pla d’Espais d’Interès Natural cinc anys després de la seva entrada en vigor i valorar fins a quin punt s’havien acomplert les expectatives que havia despertat i com podia afrontar els nous reptes en la conservació del patrimoni natural

Objectors i insubmisos: cinc testimonis: la professionalització de l'horror

Testimoni de l’autor sobre la seva declaració, l’any 1977, de no voler fer el servei militar. Es va declarar objector de consciència i, amb aquesta acció, ell i altres varen tocar, com es deia en aquell moment, els pilars fonamentals de la societat

1954 les cases barates de Vila-roja : memòria d'una desaparició anunciada i les claus del seu valor històric

Estudi de les primeres 150 “cases barates”, o de tipus social que es van edificar al barri de Vila-roja entre el 1954 i el 1957, anomenades Grup “San Daniel”, i que varen representar l'inici d'aquest barri de Girona. L'estudi incideix en la gestació, en la transformació i en la desaparició progressiva de la fesomia inicial d'aquest barri de Girona projectat i dissenyat per l’arquitecte gironí Ignasi Bosch Reitg (1910-1985), que també fou l’arquitecte del Grup Sant Narcís, de Germans Sàbat i de Sant Cugat a Salt

Approach to developing a 3D conceptual hydrogeology model, in a system with multiple bore logs, Howard East, Darwin, using in-house software (GVS)

The Howard East rural area has experienced a rapid growth of small block subdivisions and horticulture over the last 40 years, which has been based on groundwater supply. Early bores in the area provide part of the water supply for Darwin City and are maintained and monitored by NT Power & Water Corporation. The Territory government (NRETAS) has established a monitoring network, and now 48 bores are monitored. However, in the area there are over 2700 private bores that are unregulated.Although NRETAS has both FDM and FEM simulations for the region, community support for potential regulation is sought. To improve stakeholder understanding of the resource QUT was retained by the TRaCKconsortium to develop a 3D visualisation of the groundwater system.

The hydrogeology, hydrology and hydrochemistry of the Condamine River Valley alluvium

The Cainozoic alluvium of the Condamine River valley is interpreted to consist of sediments deposited as floodplain and sheetwash deposits in bedrock valleys eroded into Mesozoic sedimentary rocks and tertiary volcanics. A maximum recorded sediment accumulation of 134 m is centred just south of Dalby. The lower section ofboth the flood plain and sheetwash alluvium is composed of variegated sandy and clayey sediments and the upper section of brown and grey sandy and clayey sediments.

The temperature dependence of the development of the embryo in Mesocyclops leuckarti (Claus) and Cyclops scutifer

This work is mainly intended as an addition to the studies of the populations dynamics of Cyclops scutifer, which is part of the ”Latn ja jaure project” (a study of the principles involved in the ecosystem of a small -initially fish free- mountain lake, before and after the introduction of fish). The field work consisted of sampling in Lake Erken in Roslagen in June, July and September, as well as in Latn ja jaure in the Abisko mountains in August and September of 1965. Additional sampling was done in Latn ja jaure for the study of the horizontal, vertical and temporal distribution of Cyclops scutifer, as well as the in situ development of the different stages. These samples have been analysed in such a way as to fit into the frame work of future studies on the population dynamics of Cyclops scutifer, The main aim of the present investigation is the determination of the dependence upon tempera- tare of the development of the embryo in the subarctic Cyclops scutifer as compared with the conditions found in the warm water species Mesocyclops leuckarti.

Contributions to the knowledge of larval development in Cyclops leuckarti Claus [Translation from: Natura, Milano 19, 89-96, 1928]

Taxonomic observations on the larval forms of Cyclops leuckarti are being discussed and compared with Cyclops oithonoides var. hyalina. Observations include Nauplius and Metanauplius stages. The author concludes that specific differences are recognisable even in the nauplius stages.
