Pb, Zn, Cs, Sc and rare earth elements as tracers of the Loire and Gironde particles on the Biscay shelf (SW France)
Provedor de dados: 5
Autores: Jouanneau, Jm; Weber, O; Grousset, Fe; Thomas, B.
The western Atlantic continental margin of the Bay of Biscay is characterised by a combined macro-tidal and a high energy environment. These conditions are responsible for the essentially sandy sedimentary cover along with well-defined fine deposit zones observed on the shelf. The main continental sources are the Loire, Gironde and Adour Rivers. It is estimated that 2.4 to 2.5 million tons of fine sediments are supplied annually to the ocean from these rivers of the French Atlantic coast. The Gironde and the Loire contribute with 84 % and the Gironde with 60 % of this amount. Previous studies of the distribution of the clay mineral assemblages and of oligo-elements have distinguished two provinces (north and south Biscay areas) according to these riverine...

Zooming in on Heinrich layers

Theories explaining the origin of the abrupt, massive discharges of ice-rafted detritus (IRD) into the glacial North Atlantic (the Heinrich layers (HLs)) generally point to the Laurentide ice sheet as the sole source of these events, until it was found that the IRDs also originated from Icelandic and European ice sheets [Bond and Lotti, 1995; Snoeckx er al., 1999; Grousset et al., 2000]. This apparent contradiction must be reconciled as it raises fundamental questions about the mechanism(s) of HL origin. We have analyzed two similar to 12 cm thick HLs in an ultrahigh-resolution mode (1-2 century intervals) in a mid-Atlantic ridge piston core. The delta O-18 record (N. pachyderma left coiling) reveals strong excursions induced by the melting of the...

Repartition des mineraux argileux sur le plateau continental Sud-Gascogne
Provedor de dados: 5
Autores: Latouche, C; Jouanneau, J M; Lapaquellerie, Y; Maillet, N; Weber, O.
The southern Biscay shelf is a typical example of a continental margin submitted to a macrotidal regime and the heavy sedimentary fluxes of continental provenance. The aim of this study was to determine the manner in which clay sedimentation is organized on the margin and to evaluate the impact of both river-borne inputs and marine hydrodynamic activity. It was established that the distribution of clay minerals (in the order of frequence: micas, chlorites, illites and smectites) is upset by the interconnection of several sedimentary processes: discontinuous river-borne discharges (richer in smectites); the mixture of newly-arrived material with fine fractions (rich in micas and chlorites) resulting from the reworking of remnant material that represents the...

Modele faciologique d'un corps sedimenataire pelitique de plate-forme: La vasiere Ouest-Gironde (France)
Provedor de dados: 5
Autores: Lesuer, P; Tastet, J P; Weber, O; Sinko, Ja.
The mud-patch located in the western part of the Gironde Estuary system comprises a lenticular sedimentary body 420 km super(2) in area, oriented NE-SW at a depth ranging between 30 and 75 m. Its thickness does not exceed 4 m; it fills a light depression in a substrate composed of palimpsest shelly pebbles to find sand deposits. The deposition of this mud-patch from the original estuarine suspended matter began less than 2000 years ago, when the sea reached its present-day level. The sediments are silty-clayey, organized in several centimetrical to decimetrical fining-up sequences, more silty at the base of the mud-patch. Such rythmic deposits are characteristics of a reworking by storm or strong wave activity. These sequences show a seaward evolution. The...

Traceurs organiques dans les dépôts de la vasière Ouest-Gironde (Golfe de Gascogne)
Provedor de dados: 5
Autores: Gadel, F; Jouanneau, Jm; Weber, O; Serve, L; Comellas, L.
Mud fields located In the inner part of shelves in front of large estuaries are preferential environments for the investigation of the mechanisms and evolution in time of the supply of such sedimentary bodies. The study of different constituents of the particulate organic matter trapped in the sediments of the West Gironde mud patch contributes to the knowledge of the input origins. This study was carried out with different techniques, including pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and high performance liquid chromatography, on samples from a core collected in the centre of the mud field. At the bottom of the core, the increase of sugars, amino-sugars and some aromatic hydrocarbons may indicate a more marine character of organic components. The...

Le comblement de la ria de Gernika (golfe de Gascogne) à l'Holocène terminal
Provedor de dados: 5
Autores: Pascual, A; Weber, O; Rodriguez-lazaro, J; Jouanneau, Jm; Pujos, M.
A study of the recent sedimentation of the ria de Gernika (Bay of Biscay) is undertaken to characterise different steps of its Holocene filling. Sedimentological and micropalaeontological analysis of six cores sampled in the ria, completed with absolute dating (C-14, and based upon Pb-210 exc.), allow us to identify three phases in the filling of the ria that are Limited by two transgressive shifts (3500 and 2500 yr. B.P.) already described in other areas of the Bay of Biscay. In the first phase, lithologies as well as benthic foraminifera and ostracode assemblages are typical of coastal marine palaeo-environment. During the second phase the euryhaline waters progessively occupy the central area of the estuary. Here the presence of allochthonous...

Nature and rates of fine-sedimentation on a mid-shelf: "La Grande Vasiere" (Bay of Biscay, France)
Provedor de dados: 5
Autores: Dubrulle, C; Jouanneau, J; Lesueur, P; Bourillet, Jean-francois; Weber, O.
The study area, "La Grande Vasiere" (LGV), stretches out on the French Atlantic continental shelf (at ca. 100 m water depth), along 250 km from the Glenan Islands at the north to the southwest of Rochebonne at the south. Box-cores were sampled in this mid-shelf area during four cruises in June 1995, and in April, June and September 2002. They were investigated using sedimentologicat approaches (X-radiographs and grain-size analyses) and radionuclide studies (Pb-210 geochronology and excess Th-234). The main results are: (1) the surficial sediments are generally organized into a decimetrescale fining up sequence which can be the result of extreme storms; (2) an upper mixing layer of 7-20cm reflects an important biological benthic activity and/or the impact...
