Résumé : International audience
During the last decade, the interaction of deep processes in the lithosphere and mantle with surface processes (erosion, climate, sea-level, subsidence, glacio-isostatic readjustment) has been the subject of heated discussion. The use of a multidisciplinary approach linking geology, geophysics, geodesy, modelling, and geotechnology has led to the awareness of coupled deep and surface processes. Deep earth dynamics (topography, erosion, tectonics) are strongly connected to natural hazards such as earthquakes, landslides, and tsunamis; sedimentary mass transfers have important consequences on isostatic movements and on georesources, geothermal energy repartitions. The ability to read and understand the link between deep Earth dynamics and surface processes has therefore important societal impacts. Ground-truthing at carefully-selected sites of investigation is imperative to better understand these connections.Due to its youth (<30 Ma) and its subsidence history, the almost land-locked Gulf of Lion–Sardinia continental margins system provides a unique record of sedimentary deposition from the Miocene to present. Due to its high subsidence rate, palaeoclimatic variations, tectonic events and vertical evolution are all recorded here at very high resolution. The late Miocene isolation and desiccation of the Mediterranean, the youngest and most catastrophic event, the Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC), induced drastic changes in marine environments: widespread deposition of evaporite (gypsum, anhydrite and halite) in the central basin, and intense subaerial erosion along its periphery. These extraordinary mass transfers from land to sea induced strong isostatic re-adjustments that are archived in the sedimentary record and represent a window to the lithospheric rheology and the deep processes.The GOLD (Gulf of Lion Drilling) project, proposes to explore this unique sedimentary record as well as the nature of the deep crustal structure, providing valuable information about the mechanisms underlying vertical motions in basins and their margins.

Résumé : A partir de l'étude de trois oeuvres de Daniel Maximin, Patrick Chamoiseau et Raphaël Confiant), il s'agit de s'interroger sur les rapports entre histoire et écriture. En l'occurence, les procédures de mise en texte du chronotope algérien, si elles répondent à des logiques (poétiques, critiques) et à des sensibilités différentes renvoient bien à une même problématique, celle de l'identité antillaise. Par contraste, le "Détour" par l'Algérie de la guerre d'indépendance ou des années 70 permet aux trois romancier de préciser le sens du Discours antillais (Glissant) et de dessiner les contours d'un imaginaire fertile et souvent douloureux.
Through a close reading of three works by Daniel Maximin, Patrick Chamoiseau and Raphaël Confiant, we intend to examine the relationships between history and writing. With different logics and sensibilities, the texts under study implies a common issue : West Indian identity. In contrast with the caribbean situation, the "Detour" through Algeria of Independance war and of the 70' allows the three writers to specify the meaning of the "West Indian discourse" (Glissant) and to draw the outlines of a rich and often painful imaginary.

Résumé : Dégager le sens des actions mises en place en Guadeloupe depuis les années 1940 dans le secteur de la lecture publique par les collectivités locales, constitue l'objet de la recherche. Deux acteurs sont privilégiés, le Département et les communes. La lecture est appréhendée dans sa fonction identitaire, L'identité est posée comme système de significations, et il s'agit de décoder les représentations sociales de la lecture pour la situer dans la construction identitaire, Deux hypothèses conduisent la réflexion. La lecture n'est pas un enjeu identitaire fort et ne fait pas débat, cela parce que l'activité conserve une fonction fortement instrumentalisée déterminée par le contexte guadeloupéen. Les réponses sont cherchées dans l'histoire et l'analyse des actions publiques, elles aussi porteuses de significations. L'analyse de discours entreprise se réalise autour de quatre thématiques: la lecture, le livre, le lecteur, la bibliothèque. Ce travail retrace d'abord la genèse du secteur du livre et de la lecture en Guadeloupe dans les lieux et les pratiques. Puis il propose un panorama historique des actions. Enfin, une analyse des actions et des représentations est développée. L'irrégularité et la disparité de l'action publique locale, le discours très consensuel qui ressortent, plaident pour l'inexistence de politiques de lecture et d'enjeux véritables. Pourtant, lecture, livre et bibliothèque se montrent auréolés de prestige, vecteurs de savoir et de culture lettrée, relais de l'école. Ce paradoxe apparent illustre la problématique encore conflictuelle entre culture écrite et tradition orale en Guadeloupe, et la défiance traditionnelle envers l'écrit.
Understand the meaning underlying the initiatives led in the field of reading by public local authorities in Guadeloupe since 1940, is the object ofthis research. Two local authorities are particularly studied, the "Departement" and the towns and villages. Reading is taken here in an identity function. Identity is defmed her7as a system of significations, and the point is to understand which social representations reading conveys, and thus determine its place in the identity building process. The research is carried on around two hypotheses : reading is not an issue of much importance, nor a matter of political debate ; and this because it is thought of and used as a mere tool, due to the Guadeloupe context. Answers are searched by tracing the history and analyzing the public actions, which, too, convey meanings. A speech analysis is done around four subjects : reading, books, readers, Iibraries, This work describes the making of the field in Guadeloupe, through the history of reading places and practices, Then it presents the history of the actions themselves. Last, an analysis ofthe initiatives and the social representations underlying are developed. The public local action appears to be irregular and unequal, and the positions very consensual, both aspects speaking for an absence of true policies and real questioning about reading. Though, reading, books, libraries, are wrapped up in an aura of prestige, thought ofas vectors ofknowledge and culture, complementary to school. This apparent paradox is an example ofthe still remaining conflict between written and oral traditions in Guadeloupe, an expression of a longrooted distrust towards writing

Résumé : International audience
We investigated the response of the crystal structure, lattice parameters, and unit-cell volume of hydrous layered silicate phlogopite at conditions relevant to subduction zone settings. We have used first principles simulation based on density functional theory to calculate the equation of state and full elastic constant tensor. Based on the generalized gradient approximation, the full single crystal elastic constant tensor with monoclinic symmetry shows significant anisotropy with the compressional elastic constants: c11 = 181 GPa, c22 = 185 GPa, c33 = 62 GPa, the shear elastic constants c44 = 14 GPa, c55 = 20 GPa, c66 = 68 Ga, and c46 = −6 GPa; the off diagonal elastic constants c12 = 48 GPa, c13 = 12 GPa, c23 = 12 GPa, c15 = −16 GPa, c25 = −5 GPa and c35 = −1 GPa at zero pressure. The elastic anisotropy of phlogopite is larger than most of the layered hydrous phases relevant in the subduction zone conditions. The shear anisotropy, AVS for phlogopite is ∼77% at zero pressure condition and although it decreases upon compression it remains relatively high compared to other hydrous phases relevant in the subduction zone settings. We also note that the shear elastic constants for phlogopite are relatively low. Phlogopite also has a high isotropic bulk VP/VS ratio ∼2.0. However, the VP/VS ratio also exhibits significant anisotropy with values as low as 1.49. Thus, phlogopite bearing metasomatized mantle could readily explain unusual VP/VS ratio as observed from seismological studies from the mantle wedge regions of the subduction zone.

Résumé : International audience
Serpentinites form by hydration of mantle peridotite and constitute the largest potential reservoir of fluid-mobile elements entering subduction zones. Isotope ratios of one such element, boron, distinguish fluid contributions from crustal versus serpentinite sources. Despite 85% of boron hosted within abyssal peridotite being lost at the onset of subduction at the lizardite-to-antigorite transition, a sufficient cargo of boron to account for the composition of island arc magma is retained (c. 7 μg g− 1, with a δ11B of + 22‰) until the down-going slab reaches the antigorite-out isograd. At this point a 11B-rich fluid, capable of providing the distinctive δ11B signature of island arc basalts, is released. Beyond the uniquely preserved antigorite-out isograd in serpentinites from Cerro del Almirez, Betic Cordillera, Spain, the prograde lithologies (antigorite–chlorite–orthopyroxene–olivine serpentinite, granofels-texture chlorite-harzburgite and spinifex-texture chlorite-harzburgite) have very different boron isotope signatures (δ11B = − 3 to + 6‰), but with no significant difference in boron concentration compared to the antigorite-serpentinite on the low P–T side of the isograd. 11B-rich fluid, which at least partly equilibrated with pelagic sediments, is implicated in the composition of these prograde lithologies, which dehydrated under open-system conditions. Serpentinite-hosted boron lost during the early stages of dehydration is readily incorporated into forearc peridotite. This, in turn, may be dragged to sub-arc depths as a result of subduction erosion and incorporated in a mélange comprising forearc serpentinite, altered oceanic crust and pelagic sediment. At the antigorite-out isograd it dehydrates, thus potentially providing an additional source of 11B-rich fluids.

Résumé : IODP Expedition 335 "Superfast Spreading Rate Crust 4" returned to ODP Hole 1256D with the intent of deepening this reference penetration of intact ocean crust several hundred meters into cumulate gabbros. This was the fourth cruise of the superfast campaign to understand the formation of oceanic crust accreted at fast spreading ridges, by exploiting the inverse relationship between spreading rate and the depth to low velocity zones seismically imaged at active mid-ocean zones, thought to be magma chambers. Site 1256 is located on 15-million-year-old crust formed at the East Pacific Rise during an episode of superfast ocean spreading (>200 mm/yr full rate). Three earlier cruises to Hole 1256D have drilled through the sediments, lavas and dikes and 100 m into a complex dike-gabbro transition zone. The specific objectives of IODP Expedition 335 were to: (1) test models of magmatic accretion at fast spreading ocean ridges; (2) quantify the vigor of hydrothermal cooling of the lower crust; (3) establish the geological meaning of the seismic Layer 2-3 boundary at Site 1256; and (4) estimate the contribution of lower crustal gabbros to marine magnetic anomalies. It was anticipated that even a shortened IODP Expedition could deepen Hole 1256D a significant distance (300 m) into cumulate gabbros. Operations on IODP Expedition 335 proved challenging from the outset with almost three weeks spent re-opening and securing unstable sections of the Hole. When coring commenced, the destruction of a hard-formation C9 rotary coring bit at the bottom of the hole required further remedial operations to remove junk and huge volumes of accumulated drill cuttings. Hole-cleaning operations using junk baskets returned large samples of a contact-metamorphic aureole between the sheeted dikes and a major heat source below. These large (up to 3.5 kg) irregular samples preserve magmatic, hydrothermal and structural relationships hitherto unseen because of the narrow diameter of drill core and previous poor core recovery. Including the ~60 m-thick zone of granoblastic dikes overlying the uppermost gabbro, the dike-gabbro transition zone at Site 1256 is over 170 m thick, of which more than 100 m are recrystallized granoblastic basalts. This zone records a dynamically evolving thermal boundary layer between the principally hydrothermal domain of the upper crust and a deeper zone of intrusive magmatism. The recovered samples document a sequence of evolving geological conditions and the intimate coupling between temporally and spatially intercalated intrusive, hydrothermal, contact-metamorphic, partial melting and retrogressive processes. Despite the operational challenges, we achieved a minor depth advance to 1522 m, but this was insufficient penetration to complete any of the primary objectives. However, Hole 1256D has been thoroughly cleared of junk and drill cuttings that have hampered operations during this and previous Expeditions. At the end of Expedition 335, we briefly resumed coring and stabilized problematic intervals with cement. Hole 1256D is open to its full depth and ready for further deepening in the near future.

Résumé : International audience
The scleractinian coral Pocillopora damicornis type β is known to present a mixed reproduction mode: through sexual reproduction, new genotypes are created, while asexual reproduction insures their propagation. In order to investigate the relative proportion of each reproduction mode in P. damicornis type β populations from Reunion Island, Indian Ocean, clonal propagation along the west coast was assessed through four sampling sites with increasing geographical distance between sites. Coral colonies were sampled either exhaustively, randomly or haphazardly within each site, and genotypic diversity was assessed using 13 microsatellite loci over a total of 510 P. damicornis type β determined a posteriori from their mtDNA haplotype (a 840 bp sequenced fragment of the Open Reading Frame). Overall, 47% of all the sampled colonies presented the same multi-locus genotype (MLG), a superclone, suggesting that asexual propagation is extremely important in Reunion Island. Within each site, numerous MLGs were shared by several colonies, suggesting local clonal propagation through fragmentation. Moreover, some of these MLGs were found to be shared among several sites located 40 km apart. While asexual reproduction by fragmentation seems unlikely over long distances, our results suggest a production of parthenogenetic larvae. Despite shared MLGs, two differentiated clusters were enclosed among populations of the west coast of Reunion Island, revealing the necessity to set up appropriate managing strategies at a local scale.

Résumé : International audience
High Pressure - Low Temperature (HP-LT) rocks testify for burying and exhumation of crustal material in subduction zones. The question of their exhumation is nevertheless still unclear. The Aegean domain offers several HP-LT belts. Especially, the Attic-Cycladic Blueschist unit (ACBU) is an example of a HP-LT unit exhumed in a convergent and then in a divergent context. It actually appears in metamorphic core complexes (MCCs) formed in the back-arc of the subduction. The syn-convergence "message" is however difficult to read because of the post-convergence structural and thermal overprint that accompanied the formation of the MCCs. Particularly, the geometry, the timing and the amount of the syn-orogenic exhumation remain unclear. We investigate theses questions with metamorphic petrology (Andros and Ios islands) and phengite population, single grain and in situ 40Ar-39Ar geochronology (Andros, Tinos, Syros and Ios islands). Based on these new constraints and a synthesis of published data, we are able to refine the geometry, the timing and the modes of the exhumation of the ACBU. Data from the whole Cyclades exhibit little differences in the age and P-T conditions at the successive stages of syn-orogenic exhumation. The peak of pressure (500±50 °C-18±1 kbar) has been reached at 50-55 Ma. The onset of the exhumation occurred at 40-45 Ma in blueschist facies conditions, between a basal thrust and a summital detachment. The following decompression was accompanied by cooling until 30-35 Ma (400±50 °C-8±1 kbar). At that time, the boundary conditions switched to extension. The change in boundary conditions is recorded by slowing of the exhumation and isobare heating. The conditions of post-orogenic exhumation differ from an island to another. The onset of post-orogenic exhumation is dated around 30 Ma in the northern Cyclades and 25 Ma in the southern Cyclades. It is related to top-to-the-North deformation in all the studied domain. The end of ductile deformation below the detachments is also diachronous (21 Ma in the North and 18 Ma in the South). Finally, we propose a model for the final steps of the exhumation related to the intrusion of granitic bodies around 14 Ma.

Les jeunes enfants sont confrontés dès leur plus jeune âge à un environnement sémiotique où l'image et l'icône sont très présents, par le biais de leurs jouets, de leurs livres d'images, des dessins animés, et d'écrits nombreux ... Grâce à cette iconicité très stéréotypée, ils acquièrent rapidement une culture du signe iconique, apportée par l'adulte sans que celui-ci ait nécessairement conscience du contenu ainsi transmis. Par ailleurs, l'environnement scriptural de l'adulte fait lui-même une part très large à l'icône en général et au pictogramme en particulier. On sait que le pictogramme est un signe qui, malgré son caractère iconique et son apparence simple, voire simpliste, est souvent difficile à interpréter correc­tement par les adultes et que les erreurs en ce domaine sont plus fréquentes qu'on ne le croit. Le recours aux savoirs du « lecteur », aux stéréotypes scriptovisuels qu'il connaît, à son expérience, est nécessaire pour l'interprétation mais en même temps source d'erreurs. En effet, la compréhension de ces signes, loin de relever d'un réalisme naïf permettant de voir la « chose » à travers son image, requiert une compétence sémiotique et le recours à des interprétants externes, qui sont à la fois du domaine du contexte (entour du signe), et de celui de l'intertexte polysémiotique constitué par une culture intériorisé. Or le rôle de ces interprétants externes est tel que le recours à d'autres interprétants que ceux que l'émetteur du signe avait en vue peut conduire à des interprétations nettement divergentes à la lecture. Dès lors, nous nous demandons comment ces signes sont perçus par les enfants et plus particulièrement par les enfants pré-lecteurs, comment ceux-ci parviennent, ou non, à les sémiotiser, à les décrypter, à les interpréter. Nous avons donc proposé à des enfants fréquentant l'école (maternelle ou élémentaire) une série de pictogrammes. Il s'agit, en leur demandant simplement ce qu'ils comprennent, d'interroger leurs connaissances en matière de signe iconique et la manière dont ils arrivent à les réinvestir pour cons­truire du sens. Par ce biais, nous nous interrogeons également sur la manière dont ces enfants perçoivent ces signes qui ne leur sont pas spécifiquement destinés (voire pas du tout dans le cas de la signalisation routière, des pictogrammes « de gare », ou des modes d'emploi ...) mais qu'ils perçoivent cependant. Nous tentons enfin par là d'explorer la lisibilité de notre environnement scriptural « à hau­teur d'enfant ».

Résumé : International audience
TEM Study of Heavitree quartzite deformed at high temperatures and a pressure of 1.5 GPa with three different preparations: water-added, vacuum dried, and sodium doped show a wide range of dislocation microstructure. The vacuum dried sample has a very heterogeneous dislocation distribution varying from almost no dislocations to very high densities. Dislocation nucleation occurs by cross-slip mechanisms, such as Frank-Read sources and Orowan loops around hard inclusions. Shear bands develop in the basal plane composed of two closely spaced shear planes. Dislocations have straight segments and they are aligned along directions of dense packing, suggesting strong Peierls stress control due to the crystal structure. No voids, bubbles or dislocation walls where observed in the vacuum dried sample. The sodium-doped sample had a homogeneous high dislocation density. The water-added sample has a significantly lower, relatively uniform dislocation density. Bubbles associated with dislocations are seen in every grain. Dislocations were either present in loops around bubbles or as straight dislocations with small bubbles spaced along the dislocation line. Some of the long straight dislocations are aligned parallel to the c-axis. Sub-grains where very frequent, sometimes form cells of about 2 p,m in diameter with straight edges. Analysis of dislocations show 1/3 < a > and [c] dislocations in sub-grain walls and free 1/3 < a > dislocations on prism planes. There is clear evidence for dislocation climb with sub-grain walls, dislocation cells, dislocation junctions and dislocation debris of small loops. The major difference between vacuum dried and water-added samples are the homogeneity of the microstructure and evidence for climb in the water-added sample. Glide is clearly difficult, with a high Peierls stress in the vacuum dried sample as shown by areas of very low and very high dislocation density and the crystallographic control of dislocation line direction. The sodium-doped sample indicates that nucleation was easy by the high homogenous dislocation density, but no climb recovery has taken place. The density is high and the dislocations are strongly interacting causing tangles; no evidence for crystallographic control can be observed at these levels of strain. The activation energy for creep in Heavitree quartzite decreases with inferred water content of the specimens form 185 kJ mol(-1) for vacuum dried to 151 for 0.4 wt% water-added samples. Analysis of diffusion data for oxygen under hydrothermal conditions and inferred diffusion data for the hydrogarnet defect and dislocation velocity suggests activation energies for these processes are similar to the activation energy for the dislocation creep of Heavitree quartzite and other quartz aggregates. For data from the previously published experiments with the highest stress resolution there is a correlation between the A pre-factor in the power law creep equation and the activation energy for creep. It is speculated that the correlation may be due to variable hydrogarnet defect concentrations.

Résumé : In this paper we introduce k-laminar graphs a new class of graphs which extends the idea of Asteroidal triple free graphs. Indeed a graph is k-laminar if it admits a diametral path that is k-dominating. This bio-inspired class of graphs was motivated by a biological application dealing with sequence similarity networks of reads (called hereafter read networks for short). We briefly develop the context of the biological application in which this graph class appeared and then we consider the relationships of this new graph class among known graph classes and then we study its recognition problem. For the recognition of k-laminar graphs, we develop polynomial algorithms when k is fixed. For k=1, our algorithm improves a Deogun and Krastch's algorithm (1999). We finish by an NP-completeness result when k is unbounded.

Résumé : In this paper, we investigate the impact of ambient temperature changes on the gravity reading of spring-based relative gravimeters. Controlled heating experiments using two Scintrex CG5 gravimeters allowed us to determine a linear correlation (R2> 0.9) between ambient temperature and gravity variations. The relation is stable and constant for the two CG5 we used: −5 nm/s2/∘C. A linear relation is also seen between gravity and residual sensor temperature variations (R2> 0.75), but contrary to ambient temperature, this relation is neither constant over time nor similar between the two instruments. The linear correction of ambient temperature on the controlled heating time series reduced the standard deviation at least by a factor of 2, to less than 10 nm/s2. The laboratory results allowed for reprocessing the data gathered on a field survey that originally aimed to characterize local hydrological heterogeneities on a karstic area. The correction of two years of monthly CG5 measurements from ambient temperature variations halved the standard deviation (from 62 to 32 nm/s2) and led us to a better hydrological interpretation. Although the origin of this effect is uncertain, we suggest that an imperfect control of the sensor temperature may be involved, as well as a change of the properties of an electronic component.

Résumé : International audience
Marine protist diversity inventories have largely focused on planktonic environments, while benthic protists have received relatively little attention. We therefore hypothesize that current diversity surveys have only skimmed the surface of protist diversity in marine sediments, which may harbor greater diversity than planktonic environments. We tested this by analyzing sequences of the hypervariable V4 18S rRNA from benthic and planktonic protist communities sampled in European coastal regions. Despite a similar number of OTUs in both realms, richness estimations indicated that we recovered at least 70% of the diversity in planktonic protist communities, but only 33% in benthic communities. There was also little overlap of OTUs between planktonic and benthic communities, as well as between separate benthic communities. We argue that these patterns reflect the heterogeneity and diversity of benthic habitats. A comparison of all OTUs against the Protist Ribosomal Reference database showed that a higher proportion of benthic than planktonic protist diversity is missing from public databases; similar results were obtained by comparing all OTUs against environmental references from NCBI's Short Read Archive. We suggest that the benthic realm may therefore be the world's largest reservoir of marine protist diversity, with most taxa at present undescribed.

Without prior knowledge, distinguishing different languages may be a hard task, especially when their borders are permeable. We develop an extension of spectral clustering -- a powerful unsupervised classification toolbox -- that is shown to resolve accurately the task of soft language distinction. At the heart of our approach, we replace the usual hard membership assignment of spectral clustering by a soft, probabilistic assignment, which also presents the advantage to bypass a well-known complexity bottleneck of the method. Furthermore, our approach relies on a novel, convenient construction of a Markov chain out of a corpus. Extensive experiments with a readily available system clearly display the potential of the method, which brings a visually appealing soft distinction of languages that may define altogether a whole corpus.
