A new method is used to generate spatial estimates of monthly averaged biomass burned area and spatial and temporal estimates of trace gas and aerosol emissions from open fires in southern Africa.Global burned area data for the year 2000 (GBA2000) supplemented with the Along Track Scanning Radiometer (ATSR) fire count data are employed to quantify the area burned at 1-km resolution by using a fractional vegetation cover map derived from satellite observations. To account for...

The foraging ecology of Southern elephant seals in Kerguelen has been investigated since 2003 with annual deployments of CTD-SRLDs (Argos-linked conductivity–temperature–depth-Satellite Relayed Data Logger / Sea Mammal Research Unit –SMRU-, University of St Andrews Scotland). In 2009, newly developped devices (MK9 -Time Depth Recorders (Wildlife Computers, Washington, USA)) have been deployed and combined with CTD-Fluo-SRDLs . We thus recorded fine scale diving behaviors of SES thanks to high resolution measures (every 2 s) of pressure,...

Exhumé par le Service Public de Wallonie, un matériel archéologique inédit a été retrouvé à l’archéoforum de Liège (Tivoli). Daté de la transition Mésolithique-Néolithique, il pose la question du mode de vie des derniers chasseurs-cueilleurs à l’arrivée des premiers colons agro-pasteurs, il y a environ 7000 ans. Les premiers résultats de l’étude sont livrés, ainsi que ceux des tests expérimentaux conduits au Préhistosite de Ramioul. Ces derniers ont notamment permis de retrouver des techniques préhistoriques...

Miniaturization is a well-established trend in the development of analytical devices, due to the important advantages it offers. Detection for this type of devices has to be in accordance and therefore easy integration and the employment of simple instrumentation are common requirements. These are fulfilled very well by the electrochemical detection (ED) and therefore, it is gaining relevance in many of the applications where miniaturized approaches are required. However, the use of very small sample...

The Würmian Lower Terrace in the northern part of the Upper Rhinegraben ist abundantly covered by dune sands. West and south of the alluvial fan of the Neckar River these sands seem to be accumulated not before the Younger Dryas. In some places medieval deforestation starting around 1100 A.D. caused a reactivation of dune sands. The laminated Parabraunerde in the dune sands is to be considered a still active soil profile threefold divided. Its genesis...
