Résumé : International audience
Located in central Europe at the junction of the Southern Alps and the Dinarides, the ≈ 100 km long Idrija fault, striking N310 and dipping ≈ 80°NE is often considered as the potential source of the historical 1511 earthquake (estimated macroseismic magnitude: Mm 6.8). Using 1/25,000 to 1/5000 topographical maps, satellite images (SPOT5), 12.5 m illuminated DEM and airborne LiDAR data-derived 1-m-DEM, we examined in detail the Idrija fault trace along a 20-km-long swath in the central portion of the fault. Combining topographic and remote sensing data allows characterizing the recent activity along the Idrija fault and estimating its cumulative displacement along strike.Between Tolmin and Godovič, the fault trace is mostly linear but appears divided into three disconnected segments of 11–20-km-long. Morphological evidences such as offset streams and ridges and major drainage abandonments suggest ongoing movement. At three sites, field observations and LiDAR-DEM analysis allow measuring cumulative dextral offsets comprised between 35 and 65 m. We found two larger offsets of ≈ 140 m and ≈ 360 m at the southeasternmost site. The vertical component is significant and revealed by a rake ranging from 0 to 33°. The derived N303–N310 striking slip-vector is in agreement with the motion along this fault as suggested by the geodesy. Assuming that the smallest measured offsets have been recorded after the last glacial maximum (LGM, about 20 ka ago), the minimum slip-rate for the Idrija fault is about 1.5 mm/yr over this period of time.

Résumé : In the western Mediterranean Sea, the Liguro-Provençal Basin (LPB) is a key area for studying passive margins because of its recent formation and abundance of onshore and offshore data. The Nerthe area located in the northern margin of LPB provides the unique continuous Oligo-Miocene deposits contemporaneous of the transition rifting to drifting. However, the age of the deposits remains debated and the link between outcrops and offshore seismic data is poorly constrained. The purpose of this paper is double. First, we intend to propose a new chronostratigraphic frame based on bio- (planktonic foraminifera, calcareous nannofossils) and magneto-stratigraphy. Second, we aim to make, through the integration of new highly time-resolved seismic data and field works, a coherent onshore-offshore link concretized by a 3D geological model. The new temporal and spatial data presented in this paper allow correlating the Oligo-Miocene sequences, defining their geometry and specifying precisely the timing of syn- and post-rift stages. The first marine transgression is now precisely dated latest Chattian within the syn-rift deposits and appears to be synchronous with the first marine deposits in the offshore wells and other marginal basins. The transition from syn-rift to post-rift appears to last 3.3 Ma at maximum, between 21.8 and 18.5 Ma (late Aquitanian to early Burdigalian). It is underlined by two major erosional unconformities bearing a hiatus of around 1 Ma. The post-rift started with a major marine transgression that is now dated from middle Burdigalian, at around 18.5 Ma, as elsewhere in the LPB. Contrarily to recent proposals, the post-rift deposits are widely represented on the northeastern margin of the "Golfe du Lion". There, the subsidence of the margin was low during the syn-rift and the transitional periods and high during the post-rift. The onset of this high post-rift subsidence appears to be synchronous with the slowdown of the Corsica-Sardinia block (CSb) motion.

Résumé : National audience
Contexte La qualité de l’air ambiant dans les enceintes de transports ferroviaires souterrains (EFS) est caractérisée par des particules en suspension riches en métaux, majoritairement du fer, et en carbone, dont la concentration massique est très supérieure à celle mesurée dans l’air ambiant extérieur aux EFS. Cependant, les risques sanitaires chez les travailleurs des EFS liés aux polluants chimiques de l’air présents dans ces enceintes ferroviaires ont été peu étudiés. Dans ce contexte, l’Anses a été saisie afin de dresser un état des connaissances et réaliser une évaluation des risques sanitaires (ERS) chez les travailleurs des EFS. Méthodes Un groupe de travail pluridisciplinaire a analysé les études publiées jusqu’en décembre 2014 et des données communiquées par les exploitants de transport. L’ERS a porté sur les travailleurs de l’exploitation, l’organisation du transport et des services, et des commerces qui exercent une activité durant les horaires de trafic des rames de voyageurs. L’exposition chronique des travailleurs a été estimée à partir des données de concentration inhalée en particules (PM2,5 et PM10), en éléments métalliques, en carbone, en hydrocarbures aromatiques polycycliques particulaires et en hydrocarbures aromatiques monocycliques, issues d’une campagne transversale de métrologie individuelle de la RATP. Cette exposition estimée a ensuite été comparée à une valeur toxicologique de référence (VTR ajustée, VLEP, NOAECHEC) pour calculer un indicateur de risque. Résultats Les risques sanitaires en lien avec les éléments métalliques évalués individuellement semblent négligeables. Concernant l’exposition chronique aux particules, une inflammation des voies respiratoires et des effets consécutifs à cette inflammation sont probables, sur la base d’un effet démontré par une étude de toxicité aiguë chez l’animal. Par analogie avec les particules de l’air ambiant extérieur, des effets délétères sont attendus sur la santé cardiovasculaire et respiratoire en lien avec l’exposition chronique de ces travailleurs aux particules des EFS. L’ERS présente néanmoins des incertitudes notables compte tenu notamment du corpus d’études épidémiologiques assez peu informatif et de l’absence d’étude toxicologique d’exposition chronique. Conclusion Des effets sanitaires sont attendus en relation avec l’exposition chronique des travailleurs à la pollution de l’air des EFS. Des travaux sont recommandés pour combler les lacunes des connaissances sur la toxicité à long terme des particules de l’air de ces enceintes ferroviaires, mais également sur l’exposition de certaines catégories de travailleurs de la maintenance vraisemblablement plus exposés

Résumé : National audience
se sont accrétés au cours du Mésozoïque. Ainsi, la collisionentre les blocs Indochine et Chine du Sud a engendré l’orogénèseIndosinienne. Durant la première moitié du XXè siècle, cet orogènea été défini et documenté à partir d’une discordance, dite Indosinienne,mise en évidence dans le Nord du Vietnam. Les études alorsréalisées ont permis d’estimer un âge antérieur au Jurassique inférieurpour cette discordance, qui n’a depuis pas fait l’objet deréévaluation. Outre la discordance Indosinienne, de nombreux débatsportent sur l’âge de la collision, la vergence de la subductionocéanique qui l’a précédée ou encore l’existence d’un véritable domaineocéanique ayant séparé l’Indochine de la Chine du Sud.Les bassins permo-triasiques du Nord du Vietnam (bassins deSam Nua et de Song Da), situés de part et d’autre de la sutureophiolitique de Song Ma, constituent, via le flux sédimentaireprovenant de l’érosion et du volcanisme des zones adjacentes, desarchives essentielles pour documenter l’évolution tectonique ducouple Indochine-Chine du Sud. A partir de données sédimentologiques,géochronologiques (datation U-Pb sur zircons) et biostratigraphiques(foraminifères), nous proposons une réévaluationdu cadre stratigraphique du Nord du Vietnam. Ces données nouspermettent d’envisager un âge postérieur au Trias moyen pour ladiscordance Indosinienne. A l’aide de données géochimiques et del’analyse du remplissage sédimentaire et volcanique des bassins,il est possible de documenter un volcanisme d’arc, actif au Triasinférieur. La position de cet arc par rapport aux limites des blocsIndochine et Chine du Sud, marquée par la suture ophiolitique deSong Ma, implique (i) une zone de subduction qui plongeait vers leSud (coordonnées actuelles), sous le bloc Indochine, en marge (ii)d’un véritable domaine océanique, et non pas d’une croûte continentaleamincie, séparant les deux blocs jusqu’au Trias moyen.Nos interprétations, issues de l’analyse des bassins sédimentairespermo-triasiques du Nord Vietnam, permettent également de reconstituerl’évolution de l’orogénèse Indosinienne. Celle-ci faitsuite à la subduction de la croûte océanique rattachée à une plaqueChine du Sud sous une plaque Indochine au Trias inférieur (etprobablement au moins depuis le Permien inférieur). A partir dela fin du Trias moyen, les blocs Indochine et Chine du Sud entrenten collision et forment l’orogène Indosinienne.

Résumé : International audience
In order to improve our knowledge on the vertebral development, structure and mineralization in Acipenseriformes, we undertook a study in a growth series of reared Siberian sturgeons (Acipenser baerii) using in toto clear and stain specimens, histological and ultrastructural observations, X-ray micro-tomography, and solid state NMR analyses. Scutes were also studied to compare the tissue structure and mineralization of endoskeletal and dermal skeletal elements. This study completes and clarifies previous investigations on vertebral development and architecture in sturgeons, and brings original data on the structure of (i) the perichondral bone that is progressively deposited around the vertebral elements during ontogeny, (ii) the typical cartilage composing these elements, and (iii) the scutes. In addition we provide data on the mineralization process, on the nature of the bone mineral phase, and on the growth dynamics of the vertebral elements.

Résumé : International audience
The objective of this study was to realize a three-dimensional (3-D) geological model of the deep basin structure of the Middle Durance region (of folds and faults) by integration of geological and geophysical data, and to evaluate its fault geometry and tectonic history. All of the available geophysical and geological data were compiled in three dimensions using the gOcad geomodeler. The geological and geophysical data were used to build a 3-D geological model of the Middle Durance region. The data on the 3-D geometry of fault surfaces and stratigraphic horizons and the thickness maps of the main stratigraphic units are supported by the 3-D geological model. We show that the Middle Durance Fault cannot be interpreted as a single fault plane that affected the entire Meso-Cenozoic sedimentary layers and the Paleozoic basement but as a listric segmented faulting system in sedimentary layers, rooted in Triassic evaporites and a normal block faulting system in the basement. This decoupling level in the Triassic layers reveals thin-skin deformation, formed by strong mechanical decoupling between the Mesozoic sedimentary cover and the Paleozoic basement. This study also confirms that the Provence geological structure has resulted mainly from Pyrenean deformation, which was partly reactivated by Alpine deformation. We demonstrate that the Middle Durance Fault Zone is a transfer fault that accommodates deformation of the sedimentary filling of the South-East Basin through modified fold geometry over a zone of 7 km to 8 km around the main segment of the fault zone.

Résumé : International audience
Despite the impact of soil millipedes on litter fragmentation in tropical forests, there have been few studies dealing with factors determining their habitat preference in these ecosystems. In a natural secondary dry forest of Guadeloupe on Leptosol, two complementary studies were carried out in order to test the hypothesis that litter N-content strongly influences millipede distribution. Millipede abundance and species richness were described in the field under two tree species, Bursera simaruba and Pisonia subcordata, and were related to the chemical characteristics of their foliage. In addition, a laboratory experiment was done in order to assess millipede feeding preferences regarding the chemical characteristics of leaves from various species. Millipede abundance and species richness were significantly higher under P. subcordata than under B. simaruba, probably due to the higher N content of P. subcordata leaves. Moreover, millipedes fed preferentially on N-rich leaves. The present study confirms that there was a close correlation between the preferred food, its chemical composition and the local distribution of millipede populations.

Résumé : International audience
The East Sayan ranges are a key area to understand the interactions between the transpressive deformation linked to the far-field effects of the India-Asia collision and the extension linked to the opening of the Baikal Rift System. The active deformation that affects this range is very recent (around 5 Ma) but occurs in a very complex morphotectonic setting and the understanding of the Tertiary deformation relies entirely on a detailed knowledge of the pre-deformation situation. Using apatite fission track thermochronology, cosmogenic 10Be and morphological study on Tertiary lava flows we demonstrate that prior to the Oligocene the morphology of the East Sayan area was characterized by a wide, constantly rejuvenated erosion surface. Apatite fission track thermal modelling indicates that this surface started to form at least in Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous (140-120 Ma). The long-term exhumation rates (several tens of million years) derived from apatite fission track data (17.5 m/Ma) and the short-term erosion rates (over a few hundred thousand years) derived from cosmogenic 10Be data (12-20 m/Ma) are coherent implying a near constant mean erosion rate since Late Jurassic. This constant, slow erosion prevented the formation of a lateritic-kaolinic weathering crust on the planation surface. By Oligocene-early Miocene times a long wavelength uplift that remains to be explained, induced incision that created shallow valleys later filled by basaltic lava flows. Finally, the present short-wavelength topography initiated during the Pliocene.

Résumé : International audience
Late Jurassic coral reefs are present in the Western High Atlas of Morocco along the eastern paleomargin of the young Atlantic Ocean. The Izwarn section shows two reef units made of scleractinian corals and microbialites, included in a progradational shallowing-upward succession. Changes in reefal composition and structure observed in a ca. 50 cm-thick interval at the base of the reef unit 1 are interpreted to represent the first well-documented ecological succession in Late Jurassic reefs. Bioclastic deposits, sparse and poorly diversified corals (five genera) preserved in life position, and finally a more diversified coral assemblage (11 genera) building a reef framework with stromatolitic crusts reflect pioneer, colonization and diversification stages, respectively. A specific depth window, where light was reduced but sufficient for a catch-up growth mode and below the erosive action of waves, probably at the lower slope of a fore-reef area, has made possible the development and the record of this ecological succession. With a more diversified coral assemblage (16 genera), the reef unit 2 reflects shallower and well-agitated waters of a fore-reef area. Overlaying this second reef unit, the upper part of the section reveals back-reef deposits made of reworked reef elements, whereas a putative reef crest area is not recorded.

Résumé : Barrier island hydro-morphodynamics driven by typhoon events are the major concern of the project KUNSHEN (2011-2014). It aims at providing for a deep understanding of the peculiar dynamics of sand barriers where extreme events such as typhoons have a significant impact. We present the campaigns and the protocols achieved and planned in the project, on the Wan-tzu-liao sand barrier, Cigu Lagoon, Tainan, Taiwan, from October 2011 to January 2012, during the winter storm season and during summer 2012 during the typhoon season. A set of current profilers are deployed along a cross shore transect at 7, 4 and 2 meters deep. On the Wan-tzu-liao sand barrier, 3 columns of 3 pressiometers are deployed to survey the submersion. In the same time, morphological surveys are performed on the sand barrier with DGPS to analyse any change in the shoreline position, the beach slope, and the dynamics of sand beach features. A very preliminary analysis on these on-going field surveys suggests that the word "extreme" refers more to the consequence of the forcing on the sand barrier than the intensity of the forcing itself. The strategy developed in this first step will be refined to survey the next typhoon season, from May 2012 to October 2012.

Résumé : The Zagros Simply Folded Belt (ZSFB) is an active fold-and-thrust belt resulting from the still continuing continental collision between the Arabian plate and the Iranian plate, which probably started in the Oligocene. The present-day shortening (N25°) is well documented by focal mechanisms of earthquakes and global positioning system (GPS) surveys. We propose in this study a comparison of published palaeostress markers, including magnetic fabric, brittle deformation and calcite twinning data. In addition, we describe the magnetic fabric from Palaeocene carbonates (10 sites) and Mio-Pliocene clastic deposits (15 sites). The magnetic fabrics are intermediate, with magnetic foliation parallel to the bedding, and a magnetic lineation mostly at right angles to the shortening direction. This suggests that the magnetic fabric retains the record of an early layer-parallel shortening (LPS) that occurred prior to folding. The record of LPS allows the identification of originally oblique folds such as the Mand Fold, which have developed in front of the Kazerun Fault. The shape parameter of the magnetic fabric indicates a weak strain compatible with the development of detachment folds in the ZSFB. The palaeostress datasets, covering the Palaeocene to Pleistocene time interval, support several folding episodes accompanied by a counter-clockwise rotation of the stress field direction. The Palaeocene carbonates in the ZSFB record a N47 LPS during early to middle Miocene detachment folding in the High Zagros Belt (HZB). The Mio-Pliocene clastic deposits recorded a N38 LPS prior to and during detachment folding within the ZSFB at the end of the Miocene-Pliocene. Similarly, fault slip and calcite twin data from the ZSFB also support a counter-clockwise rotation from NE to N20 between the pre-folding stage and the late rejuvenation of folds. This counter-clockwise trend of palaeostress data agrees with fault slip data from the HZB. During the late stage of folding in the ZSFB, the Plio-Quaternary palaeostress trends are consistently parallel to the present-day shortening direction.

Résumé : In Gobi Altay and Altay, Mongolia, several flat surfaces, worn through basement rocks and uplifted during the ongoing tectonic episode to a similar altitude of 4000 m, suggests disruption of a single large-scale surface. New thermochronology and field data show that the plateau surfaces represent uplifted parts of an ancient peneplain that formed during Jurassic time. The Gobi Altay and Altay flattopped massifs are tectonically and geomorphologically unique. Their preservation for ~150 m.y. implies that no further tectonic movements occurred before the onset of the last deformation episode, 5 ± 3 m.y. ago. It also suggests that very low erosion rates were maintained by a dry climate over millions of years.

D'initiative française, le projet international HyMeX a pour objectif d'améliorer la compréhension du cycle de l'eau en Méditerranée, de sa variabilité, de l'échelle de l'événement météorologique aux échelles saisonnières et interannuelles, et de ses caractéristiques sur une décennie, dans un contexte de changement global. Le projet est motivé par le rôle déterminant des processus de mésoéchelle, couplés entre l'atmosphère, la mer et la terre, sur la variabilité du système climatique et sur le déclenchement d'événements hydrométéorologiques extrêmes (précipitations et inondations, vents forts et convection océanique, canicules et sécheresses). Le projet vise enfin à évaluer les conséquences de ces événements extrêmes sur la vulnérabilité sociale et économique de cette région et sa capacité d'adaptation.

Résumé : International audience
The interplay between tectonics and erosion has a predominant control on the evolution of the morphology of mountain belts. Here we investigate the modalities of deformation in Central Nepal on a c. 100 ka time scale in response to tectonic and external forcings, through the use of a finite-element thermomechanical model coupled with an integrative denudation formulation that accounts for fluvial incision and hillslope landsliding. We study the complex coupling existing between tectonics and erosion, with special emphasis on the influences of rock strength and rainfall distributions. Our results underline the key role played by lithologic variations in the elevation of both rivers and mean topography. We show that the location of the Main Frontal Thrust is mainly controlled by the low erodability of the unconsolidated sandstone in the Siwaliks Hills. As previously suspected (Burbank et al. 2003), our simulations demonstrate that the pattern of uplift in Nepal is mainly dependent on both erodability and fault geometry, rather than on rainfall distribution.
