    Notes: We describe a highly sensitive new type of calorimeter based on the deflection of a "bimetallic'' micromechanical sensor as a function of temperature. The temperature changes can be due to ambient changes, giving a temperature sensor or, more importantly, due to the heat absorbed by a coating on the sensor, giving a heat sensor. As an example we show the results of using the sensor as a photothermal spectrometer. The small dimensions and low thermal mass of the sensor make it highly sensitive and we demonstrate a sensitivity of roughly 100 pW. By applying a simple model of the system the ultimate sensitivity is expected to be of the order of 10 pW. The thermal response time of the cantilever can also be determined, giving an estimate of the minimum detectable energy of the sensor. This we find to be 150 fJ and again from our model, expect a minimum value of the order of 20 fJ.

    Notes: [Auszug] Photothermal deflection spectroscopy involves indirect measurement of the thermal heating induced by photon absorp-tion. This heating is detected by probing the changes in refractive index of a liquid medium in close proximity to the sample surface3. Other more direct (but less sensitive) methods ...

    Notes: Abstract Quantitative tectonic modelling demonstrates an interaction of flexure of the lithosphere underlying the western Betics with crustal thinning in the Alboran Basin and flank uplift in the Internal Zone. In the eastern Betics the flexural response is overprinted by post-thrusting extensional events. Lateral variations in thermal structure and rheology of the lithosphere along strike of the Betics shed light on changes in tectonic configuration and are consistent with evidence for lateral variations in the mode of extension in the Alboran Basin. Flexural modelling and subsidence analysis of Neogene basins in the Internal Zone of the Betics, with spatial development controlled by contrasts in lithosphere rheology, demonstrate that at least two extensional events have affected the orogenic evolution of the Betics. The first event appears to reflect Oligocene-Early Miocene rifting observed throughout the Western Mediterranean. The second phase, which caused the present configuration of the Betics, corresponds to Tortonian-Recent extension centered in the Alboran Basin.

    Description: Three fundamental stages of the Cretaceous-Neogene tectonic evolution of the Odessa Shelf and Azov Sea (northern margins of western and eastern Black Sea basins, respectively) have been documented from the analysis of reinterpreted regional seismic profiling and one-dimensional (1-D) subsidence analysis of 49 wells, for which the stratigraphic interpretation was recently revised. (1) An initial active rifting stage began within the Early Cretaceous (not later than Aptian-Albian times) and continued until the end of the Santonian in the Late Cretaceous (c. 128-83 Ma). A system of half-grabens with mainly south-dipping normal faults developed on the Odessa Shelf at this time. The most profound faulting, accompanied by volcanic activity, occurred in the NE-SW orientated Karkinit-Gubkin rift basin at the boundary between the Eastern European and Scythian platforms. The footwalls of half-grabens were exposed above sea level and subject to erosion at this time. Active extensional processes affected the western part of Azov Sea and, while the onset and cessation of these cannot be tightly constrained, they are compatible with the well constrained results from the Odessa Shelf. (2) The second tectonic stage is one of passive post-rift thermal subsidence that lasted from the Campanian (Late Cretaceous) until the end of the Middle Eocene (83-38.6 Ma). (3) The third stage of basin evolution is one of inversion tectonics in a compressional setting. Discrete inversion events occurred at the end of the Middle Eocene, during the Late Eocene, during the Early Miocene and at Middle Miocene times (c. 38.6 Ma, c. 35.4 Ma, c. 16.3 Ma, c. 10.4 Ma, respectively) and typical inversion structures developed on the Odessa Shelf, some parts of which were uplifted and significantly eroded (down to the Lower Cretaceous succession). The southern part of the Azov Sea, opening into the northernmost eastern Black Sea basin, subsided rapidly during this time; thereafter, until the Quaternary, rapid subsidence was limited to its southeastern part, which was incorporated into the Indolo-Kuban foreland basin of the Greater Caucasus orogen.

    Description: Fishers' knowledge research (FKR) aims to enhance the use of experiential knowledge of fish harvesters in fisheries research, assessment, and management. Fishery participants are able to provide unique knowledge, and that knowledge forms an important part of "best available information" for fisheries science and management. Fishers' knowledge includes, but is much greater than, basic biological fishery information. It includes ecological, economic, social, and institutional knowledge, as well as experience and critical analysis of experiential knowledge. We suggest that FKR, which may in the past have been defined quite narrowly, be defined more broadly to include both fishery observations and fishers "experiential knowledge" provided across a spectrum of arrangements of fisher participation. FKR is part of the new and different information required in evolving "ecosystem-based" and "integrated" management approaches. FKR is a necessary element in the integration of ecological, economic, social, and institutional considerations of future management. Fishers' knowledge may be added to traditional assessment with appropriate analysis and explicit recognition of the intended use of the information, but fishers' knowledge is best implemented in a participatory process designed to receive and use it. Co-generation of knowledge in appropriately designed processes facilitates development and use of fishers' knowledge and facilitates the participation of fishers in assessment and management, and is suggested as best practice in improved fisheries governance.

    Description: Ellesmere Island in Arctic Canada displays a complex geological evolution. The region was affected by two distinct orogenies, the Palaeozoic Ellesmerian orogeny (the Caledonian equivalent in Arctic Canada and Northern Greenland) and the Palaeogene Eurekan orogeny, related to the opening of Baffin Bay and the consequent convergence of the Greenland plate. The details of this complex evolution and the present-day deep structure are poorly constrained in this remote area and deep geophysical data are sparse. Receiver function analysis of seven temporary broad-band seismometers of the Ellesmere Island Lithosphere Experiment complemented by two permanent stations provides important data on the crustal velocity structure of Ellesmere Island. The crustal expression of the northernmost tectonic block of Ellesmere Island (~82°–83°N), Pearya, which was accreted during the Ellesmerian orogeny, is similar to that at the southernmost part, which is part of the Precambrian Laurentian (North America-Greenland) craton. Both segments have thick crystalline crust (~35–36 km) and comparable velocity–depth profiles. In contrast, crustal thickness in central Ellesmere Island decreases from ~24–30 km in the Eurekan fold and thrust belt (~79.7°–80.6°N) to ~16–20 km in the Hazen Stable Block (HSB; ~80.6°–81.4°N) and is covered by a thick succession of metasediments. A deep crustal root (~48 km) at ~79.6°N is interpreted as cratonic crust flexed beneath the Eurekan fold and thrust belt. The Carboniferous to Palaeogene sedimentary succession of the Sverdrup Basin is inferred to be up to 1–4 km thick, comparable to geologically-based estimates, near the western margin of the HSB.

    Description: The Greater Caucasus and southern Crimean Mountains form part of a fold–thrust belt located on the northern margin of the Black Sea, south of the Precambrian craton of eastern Europe. Its southern limit is approximated by the Main Caucasus Thrust, which runs to the west from onshore Russia and Georgia along the whole of the northern margin of the Black Sea. The Main Caucasus Thrust is related to a zone of present-day seismicity along the southern Crimea–Caucasus coast of the Black Sea called the Crimea–Caucasus Seismic Zone. Thick continental crust north of the Main Caucasus Thrust lies adjacent to the thin ‘suboceanic' or transitional crust of the Black Sea Basin. A local seismic tomography study of this area in the vicinity of the Kerch and Taman peninsulas, which lie between the Azov Sea and the Black Sea, has been carried out based on 195 weak (m b ≤3) earthquakes occurring from 1975 to 2010 and recorded at four permanent and three temporary seismological stations on the Kerch and Taman peninsulas. The results, for a volume of about 200 x 100 km (east–west and north–south, respectively) and a depth of about 40 km, provide evidence for significant heterogeneity in the P-wave and S-wave velocities. Velocities inferred in the northern part of the model suggest that the continental crust underlying the Crimea–Azov region north of the Main Caucasus Thrust is of different tectonic affinity (cratonic) than that underlying the northeastern part of the Black Sea, south of the Main Caucasus Thrust (Neoproterozoic–Palaeozoic accretionary domain). In the southern part of the model, at depths of 25–40 km, the uppermost mantle below the thin quasi-oceanic crust of the Black Sea has anomalous low P-wave velocities with high P- to S-wave velocity ratios. This is tentatively interpreted as representing serpentinized upper mantle of continental lithosphere exhumed during Cretaceous rifting and lithospheric hyperextension of the eastern Black Sea. The transition between the continental domains and the crust underlain by anomalous upper mantle is closely related to the Crimea–Caucasus Seismic Zone, where earthquake foci deepen northwards, suggesting that the latter is being thrust under the former in this intra-plate setting.
