Reassessing the age of the Early Pleistocene Longgupo fauna, southern China: An updated magnetostratigraphic perspective
No full textInternational audienceABSTRACT As the northernmost locality yielding one of the most representative Early Pleistocene Gigantopithecus – Sinomastodon faunas in southern China, the Longgupo site has preserved valuable geological archives that have significantly improved our understanding of Pleistocene biostratigraphy and biogeography. A convincing chronological framework of this locality is therefore important to elaborate on the evolution of Quaternary faunas as well as paleoenvironment. To reconcile the existing geochronological results with new advances in geochronology and biochronology, we present here a revised magnetostratigraphic age model based on detailed rock magnetic and paleomagnetic data and strengthened by biochronology as well as recently published electron spin resonance and uranium series (ESR/U‐series) age data. Two geomagnetic polarities were identified from the Longgupo sequence: the upper one is thin and normal, corresponding to the Olduvai normal subchron; and the lower one is distinctly thick and reversed, corresponding to the pre‐Olduvai Matuyama Chron. The age of the Longgupo fauna constrained by this refined magnetochronological framework is therefore estimated to be about 2.5–2.0 Ma, consistent with the newly published ESR/U‐series age of 2.5–2.2 Ma

Face to global change: a university challenge
No full textInternational audiencePreparing young people to cope with global change is one of the challenges facing universities. The aim is to mitigate these phenomena by informing people, building their resilience and their capacity to adapt to it (Mochizuki & Bryan, 2015). How is the topic addressed in the curriculum? How to develop a cross-curricular approach to global change education? These two questions are at the heart of V-Global project (Erasmus Plus Program 2021-1-FR01-KA220-HED-000023242). To answer these questions, we interviewed 25 higher education teachers from different European countries (France, Germany, Greece, Spain, Portugal, UK). We analyzed the geography curriculum of four universities: Universität Hamburg, UNED, National Technical University of Athens; Université Paris Cité. These cross-analyses have made it possible to highlight the diversity of ways of integrating global change into the curriculum and teaching practices. These analyses also show that the place for ESD is uncertain. We will conclude this presentation on possible strategies for developing a global change curriculum at the university
Où se baignera t-on en France quand il n'y aura plus d'eau ?: Perspectives climatiques pour 2050.
No full textInternational audienceSe baigner n'a jamais été aussi désirable… ni aussi compliqué. Entre hausse des coûts de l'énergie et pénurie d'eau, les piscines sont en crise; quant aux cours d'eau, ils sont menacés d'assèchement. Benoît Hachet et Julia Moutiez invitent les aménageurs à se saisir sans tarder de la question de l'accès aux eaux de surface
