Ablation of cosmic dust causes the deposition of metals into the upper atmospheres of Earth and Mars between 80 -120 km. Magnesium is one of the most abundant metals in this dust and large concentrations have been observed in the terrestrial atmosphere. Kinetic measurements have been made of the reactions of Mg- and Mg+- containing species with rel...

When the effects of wind and air pressure combine with a high tide to give unusually high water levels this can lead to severe coastal flooding. This happened in England in early 1953 when 307 people died in the East Coast Flood. In Britain today such events, now called storm surges, are forecast daily using computer models from the National Oceano...
Mud volcano systems erupt sediment and fluid onto the Earth’s surface producing edifices up to 25 km3 in volume however, little is known about how such volumes are transported through the Earth’s crust. This thesis investigates whether transport is through mud-dyke-sill complexes, or is diapiric. Structural field mapping of exhumed mud volcano intr...

Situé dans le domaine périalpin à moyenne paléolatitude, le Bassin Molassique Rhodano-Provençal enregistre durant le Miocène, une sédimentation bioclastique particulière. Ces séries miocènes sont caractérisées par un réseau de vallées incisées. Cette thèse se fonde sur l'analyse des séries affleurant dans les secteurs de Vénasque (Aquitanien-Langhi...
