Lacustrine records hold considerable archives providing access to valuable information. However, to decode this information it is necessary to know how the lake in question and its catchment area function. In this study we propose to highlight the different factors that govern sedimentation by studying different core samples covering the Holocene t...
The Amazon is responsible for the higher discharge of water and sediment from continent to ocean in the world, but the Amazon basin embodies a large variety of regions with different seasonal climate, hydrological regimes and vegetation. Some of these compartments may be considered as the most critical zones because they encompass severe changes in...
Les cherts archéens permettent de contraindre les environnements primitifs qui ont vu l'apparition de la vie sur Terre. Ces roches siliceuses se forment selon trois processus : les C-cherts (cherts primaires) se forment par précipitation chimique de silice océanique sur le plancher, sous la forme d'une boue siliceuse ou en tant que ciment dans les ...
In order to understand the impact of hydrological changes of the Amazon River on sedimentary organic matter (OM) composition in Amazonian floodplain lakes, three sediment cores were collected from Lake Maraca (eastern Amazonia) along a transect from the Amazon River main channel to inland. The cores were dated with C-14 accelerator mass spectrometr...
