Las diatomeas como indicadores de las variaciones paleohidrológicas y sus mecanismos durante el Holoceno tardío en la Cordillera Cantábrica
No full textEl presente trabajo se ha centrado en la caracterización de las asociaciones de diatomeas del registro sedimentario reciente, últimos ~ 500 años, del lago Isoba (NW de la península ibérica). Los datos de abundancias, concentraciones absolutas y diversidades han sido correlacionados con indicadores sedimentológicos y geoquímicos con el objetivo de elaborar una reconstrucción, lo más precisa posible, de las variaciones de las condiciones paleohidrológicas y sus mecanismos de forzamiento ambiental durante el Holoceno reciente.
Los resultados obtenidos tras el análisis multidisciplinar sugieren que el lago Isoba, en los últimos 500 años, ha experimentado una evolución compleja en sus condiciones paleohidrológicas y ambientales como resultado de diversos fenómenos, de origen local y regional, que tuvieron implicaciones como las variaciones en la profundidad de la columna de agua y en el aporte de nutrientes, amplificados por la alta sensibilidad de este lago de pequeño tamaño. Estos procesos estarían relacionados con las oscilaciones climáticas de la Pequeña Edad de Hielo, el calentamiento como resultado de la Industrialización a finales del siglo XIX y, recientemente, con el incremento de la presión ganadera y los cambios geomorfológicos de origen antrópico del entorno local. Estos fenómenos inferidos en el lago Isoba son comparables con otros registros paleoclimáticos (lagos, turberas y espeleotemas, entre otros) de la Cordillera Cantábrica y del resto de la península ibérica.
Finalmente, se ha puesto en valor la utilidad de los registros sedimentarios recientes y su contenido microflorístico como el de Isoba debido a su calidad, conservación y resolución para establecer correlaciones actualísticas con registros lacustres más antiguos, mostrando la fuerte interrelación que existe entre el registro geológico y el sedimentario reciente.Depto. de Geodinámica, Estratigrafía y PaleontologíaFac. de Ciencias GeológicasTRUEsubmitte
Jon Mirande eta ironia
No full textLa ironía es un elemento que ha ido siempre unido a la poesía, y especialmente a la poesía moderna.Tras un pequeño repaso a esta en diferentes épocas, se pasa a describir las tres diferentes ironías de Jon Mirande: la intelectual, la social y la filosófica. Todo ello acompañado de ejemplosIrony is an element that has always been united to poetry, and especially to modern poetry. After a small revision of irony in different eras, the author then describes the three different ironies of Jon Mirande: intellectual, social and philosophical irony. All this illustrated with example

Contrasting environmental responses in an Atlantic coastal system: Recent sedimentary record from the inner Ría of Vigo (NW Spain)
No full textAnthropogenic pressures compromise the integrity of coastal systems, including the Ría of Vigo (NW Spain). Environmental reconstructions often focus on a sedimentary compartment, potentially overlooking their inherent complexities. Here, recent intertidal and subtidal sedimentary records from the inner Ría of Vigo were examined through a multi-proxy perspective, comprising micropaleontological (benthic foraminifera and diatoms), sedimentological (grain-size), organic (TOC, TN and TS) and inorganic-geochemical (Al, Cu, Pb, Zn and Ni), physical (magnetic susceptibility), and stable (δ13C and δ15N) and radiogenic isotope (210Pb, 137Cs and 239+240Pu) proxies. The results evidence disruptions during last decades leading to contrasting responses. Intertidal compartments showed accelerated foraminiferal taphonomic loss, which obscured ecological gradients; however, diatoms and geochemistry provided insights into the mosaic of environmental factors. Subtidal bottoms experienced disturbances since the mid-20th century, impacting benthic foraminifera and diatoms due to mussel aquaculture, urban development and hydrological changes. These processes led to hypertrophic zones with opportunistic foraminifera, benthic and higher salinity diatoms, and higher TOC, TN and δ15N. The perturbation of previous conditions affected different trophic levels and masked the intrusion of more saline waters and upwelling signals, likely facilitated by the low hydrodynamics and limited water renewal.This research was funded by RTI2018-095678-B-C21, MCIU/AEI/FEDER, UE (MINECO) and IT1616-22 (EJ/GV) projects.
