Caractérisation multi-proxy de « poussières Sahariennes » déposées à l'actuel sur la marge Ouest africaine : relations avec les régions sources et les systèmes de transport et implications pour l’interprétation des archives sédimentaires en Atlantique Tropical Nord-Est / Multi-proxy characterization of Saharan dust deposited on the West African margin at present : links with source regions and transport patterns, and implications for the interpretation of the Northeastern Atlantic Tropical sedimentary archives

Skonieczny, Charlotte 25 November 2011 (has links)
L’étude des dépôts du matériel terrigène éolien dans les archives sédimentaires de l’Atlantique Tropical Nord-Est (ATNE) contribue à documenter les changements paléoclimatiques dans cette région. Toutefois, l’interprétation de ces enregistrements est rendue difficile puisque les outils employés dans les sédiments marins pour retracer les régions sources et les systèmes de transport atmosphérique associés sont encore mal contraints. Une étude des dépôts éoliens dans le contexte climatique actuel a été réalisée sur la marge Ouest africaine dans l’objectif d’améliorer notre compréhension des traceurs. Dans ce cadre, un capteur de dépôts de particules éoliennes a été mis en place en 2006 sur la côte sénégalaise permettant d’obtenir une série temporelle de dépôts éoliens continue dont le pas d’échantillonnage est inférieur ou égal à 7 jours. La majeure partie de cette étude consiste en une analyse multi-proxy - incluant granulométrie, minéralogie des argiles et rapports isotopiques du strontium et du néodyme - des dépôts éoliens collectés entre 2006 et 2009, et à l’élaboration d’une calibration de ces traceurs en terme de provenance et de système de transport dans le contexte climatique actuel. Cette calibration a ensuite été (1) testée sur les sédiments de surface de l’ATNE puis (2) utilisée pour déchiffrer le signal terrigène éolien enregistré au cours des derniers 26 000 ans au niveau du site MD03-2705 (18°05N ; 21°09W). Ce travail de thèse contribue à évaluer dans quelle mesure cette première calibration des traceurs terrigènes éoliens à l’actuel permet d’améliorer notre compréhension du signal terrigène éolien en ATNE. / The study of the aeolian material in the sedimentary archives of the NEATO contributes to document the paleoclimatic changes in this region. However, the interpretation of these records is complicated by the fact that proxies used in the deep sea sediments to reconstruct the provenance regions and the associated atmospheric transport patterns remain poorly constrained. A study of the aeolian deposits in the present-day climatic context was carried out on the West African margin in order to improve our understanding of the proxies. In this frame, a mineral dust deposits trap was installed in 2006 on the Senegalese coast, providing a unique aeolian deposits time series with a temporal resolution better than a week. The first part of this study consists in a multi-proxy analysis of the aeolian deposits collected from 2006 to 2009 (including grain-size distribution, clay mineralogy and strontium and neodymium isotopic ratios) and the subsequent development of a calibration of these tracers in terms of provenance regions and transport patterns in the present-day climatic context. In a second part, this calibration was (1) tested against sea surface sediments of the NEATO and then (2) used to decipher the aeolian terrigenous signal recorded during the last 26 000 years in the MD03-2705 core (18°05N; 21°09W). This PhD work contributes to document in which ways this initial present-day calibration of the aeolian proxies can contribute to improve our understanding of the terrigenous signal in NEATO.

The safety valve and climate policy

02 1900 (has links)
In discussions of a cap-and-trade system for implementation of Kyoto Protocol-type quantity targets, a "safety valve" was proposed where, by government sales of emissions permits at a fixed price, the marginal cost of the effort could be limited to a predetermined level. The advantages seen for such a hybrid system included the shifting of the Kyoto architecture toward a price-based system, and the blunting of opposition to the Protocol on the basis of anticipated high cost. This paper reviews the theoretical underpinnings of the preference for a price instrument for controlling stock pollutants like greenhouse gases, and summarizes the arguments supporting and opposing the safety valve idea within the policy debate. If, in the face of uncertainty, emissions are to be limited to a fixed quantity target, then some means needs to be provided to avoid complete inflexibility. A safety valve can serve this function, although similar advantages can be achieved by the phasing in of quantity targets, coupled with provision for banking and borrowing. / Abstract in HTML and technical report in PDF available on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change Website.
