Bioevents and palaeoenvironmental changes in carbonate platforms: The record of Barremian “Urgonian” limestones of SE France
Abstract Biostratigraphic studies of Barremian platform carbonates from SE France, and nearby regions indicate the Last Occurrence (LO) horizons of some common shallow water taxa. Firstly two dasycladale algae: Piriferella paucicalcarea and...

Dynamic of Changes in Carbon Dioxide Concentration in Bedrooms
Abstract The paper presents results of preliminary studies on indoor air quality in polish sleeping rooms. Objects in typical blocks of flats with low ventilation rates were taken into consideration. Carbon dioxide concentrations were used as an...

The water footprint of a river basin with a special focus on groundwater: The case of Guadalquivir basin (Spain)
Abstract In addition to revealing the hidden link between products or consumption patterns of populations and their needs in terms of water resources, the water footprint (WF) indicator generates new debates and solutions on water management at...

Rock Magnetic Methods in Soil and Environmental Studies: Fundamentals and Case Studies
Abstract Rock magnetic methods have increasingly been applied in many fields of study as they are relatively easy, fast, non-destructive and affordable. We present some examples of such applications in soil and environmental studies that had been...

Short-term effects of PM2.5, PM10 and PM2.5–10 on daily mortality in the Netherlands
Abstract Introduction Information on the relationship between levels of particulate matter (PM) smaller than 2.5μm and mortality rates in Europe is relatively sparse because of limited availability of PM2.5 measurement data. Even...

Morphological analysis and evolution of buried tunnel valleys in northeast Alberta, Canada
Abstract Tunnel valleys are large elongated depressions eroded into unconsolidated sediments and bedrock. Tunnel valleys are believed to have been efficient drainage pathways for large volumes of subglacial meltwater, and reflect the interplay...

A simple but rigorous model for calculating CO2 storage capacity in deep saline aquifers at the basin scale
Abstract Safely sequestering CO2 in a deep saline aquifer requires calculating how much CO2 the aquifer can store. Since offsetting nationwide emissions requires sequestering large quantities of CO2, this calculation should apply at the large scale...

The use of stable isotope measurements for monitoring and verification of CO2 storage
Abstract Stable isotope data can assist in successful monitoring of the fate of injected CO2 in enhanced oil recovery and geological storage projects. This is demonstrated for the International Energy Agency Greenhouse Gas Weyburn-Midale CO2...
