- Benchmarks and sediment source(s) of the 1755 Lisbon tsunami deposit at Boca do Rio EstuaryPublication . Font, Eric; Veiga-Pires, C.; Pozo, Manuel; Nave, Silvia; Costas, Susana; Ruiz, F.; Abad, Manuel; Simões, Nuno; Duarte, Sílvia; Rodriguez-Vidal, J.Standardizing the signature of tsunami deposits has been identified as a major limitation for the identification of paleo-tsunami deposits. This limitation mostly arises from the strongly source-dependent nature of these deposits, which in turn determines their composition and depositional architecture, and from the effect of the local morphology of the corresponding depositional environment. Here, we provide new highresolution mineralogical, geochemical and micro/macrofauna data of the 1755 tsunami layer of Boca do Rio estuary (Algarve, Portugal) with the aim of unraveling the signatures of estuarine tsunami deposits and linking them to possible sediment sources. We also apply for the first time diffuse reflectance spectrophotometry (DRS) analysis. Our results show that the 1755 tsunami deposit of the Boca do Rio estuary is featured by an enhancement in Sr and Ca, which are linked to the input of biogenic and detrital carbonates (shell fragments and limestone clasts) from the beach foreshore and a strong depletion in most terrestrial- and marine-sensitive indicators. The latter is interpreted as resulting from the reworking of the estuarine clays and subsequent dilution within a huge volume of sand eroded from the coastal barrier. It confirms that in the case of the Boca do Rio estuary, the sediment source is essentially proximal and coastal. Textural and mineralogical features between the base and the top of the tsunami layer suggest the imprint of run-up and backwash currents derived from a unique wave. Micro and macrofauna analysis and DRS data of the siliciclastic fraction show slight but significant environmental changes occurring just after the tsunami, which could be provoked by an eventual closure of the estuary mouth.

S.; Moesges, R.; Mullol, J.; Chavannes, N. H.; Attalin, V.The Strategic Implementation Plan of the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing (EIP on AHA) proposed six Action Groups. After almost three years of activity, many achievements have been obtained through commitments or collaborative work of the Action Groups. However, they have often worked in silos and, consequently, synergies between Action Groups have been proposed to strengthen the triple win of the EIP on AHA. The paper presents the methodology and current status of the Task Force on EIP on AHA synergies. Synergies are in line with the Action Groups' new Renovated Action Plan (2016-2018) to ensure that their future objectives are coherent and fully connected. The outcomes and impact of synergies are using the Monitoring and Assessment Framework for the EIP on AHA (MAFEIP). Eight proposals for synergies have been approved by the Task Force: Five cross-cutting synergies which can be used for all current and future synergies as they consider overarching domains (appropriate polypharmacy, citizen empowerment, teaching and coaching on AHA, deployment of synergies to EU regions, Responsible Research and Innovation), and three cross-cutting synergies focussing on current Action Group activities (falls, frailty, integrated care and chronic respiratory diseases).
- Foraminifera as tsunami tracers in Holocene sequences of Southwestern SpainPublication . Guerra, Liliana; Ruiz, F.; Abad, Manuel; Veiga-Pires, C.El objetivo de este trabajo es la identificación de eventos de alta energia (tsunamis?) em el P.N. de Doñana a partir del análisis de asociaciones de foraminíferos, llevando a cabo en un testigo corto, y comparar estos datos con el registro del Tsunami de 1755 que tuvo lugar en el SO de la Península Ibérica, donde los foraminíferos se han mostrado como indicadores muy útiles para caracterizar los paleoambientes pre- y postsunami y delimitar capas tsunamigénicas. The southwestern Spanish coast is a low-probability tsunamigenic area (e.g., Reichester, 2001), although sixteen tsunami have been documented for the time-period between 218 BC and 1900 AD (Campos, 1991). These high-energy events have tremendous morphological effects and drastic ecological impacts in coastal areas (Borrero, 2005) and cause the deposition of sedimentary beds with characteristic textural and mineralogical features (e.g. Babu et al., 2007).
- Late holocene benthic Foraminifera of the Roman Lacus ligustinus (SW Spain): a paleoenvironmental approachPublication . Guerra, Liliana; Veiga-Pires, Cristina; Luz Gonzalez Regalado, M. L.; Abad, M.; Toscano, A.; Manuel Munoz, J. M.; Ruiz, F.; Vidal, J. R.; Caceres, L. M.; Izquierdo, T.; Carretero, M. I.; Pozo, M.; Monge, G.; Tosquella, J.; Prudencio, M. I.; Dias, M.I.; Marques, R.; Gomez, P.; Romero, V.This paper studies the Late Holocene benthic foraminifera from a continuous core extracted in the Doliana National Park (SW Spain). In this core, the foraminiferal assemblages confirm the Late Holocene lagoon (historically so-called Locus Ligustinus) during the Roman period, about 2000 years ago. The more open, deepest areas of this lagoon were dominated by Ammonia tepida and Elphidium spp., while Haynesina germanise was the most representative species of the shallow, more restricted zones. The vertical variations of these assemblages, together with associated sedimentological and macrofaunal changes, allow recognizing three high-energy events (HEE) between 500 BCE and 500 CE, which also left an extensive sedimentary record in nearby coastal areas: two tsunamis (HEE-1 and HEE-3) and a storminess period (HEE-2).
- Morpho-sedimentary evidence of Holocene tsunamis in Southwestern Spain estuaries: a summaryPublication . Ruiz, F.; Rodriguez-Vidal, J.; Cáceres, L. M.; Carretero, M. I.; Pozo, Manuel; Gómez-Toscano, F.; Izquierdo, T.; Font, Eric; Guerra, Liliana; Veiga-Pires, C.; Abad, ManuelLos estuarios constituyen sistemas costeros excelentes para registrar tsunamis a través de un amplio tipo de evidencias geológicas. Este trabajo revisa y resume las evidencias de tsunamis prehistóricos e históricos en los quatro principales estuarios del suroeste de España. Las más frecuentes son erosión de playas y retroceso del litoral, ruptura y desbordamiento de flechas arenosas y depósito de capas bioclásticas. En la actualidad, estas características se encuentran particularmente bien estudiadas en los estuarios del Tinto-Odiel, Guadalquivir y Guadalete, mientras que son necesarios trabajos más detallados en el sector de influencia marina del estuario del Rio Guadiana.
- Síntese da história da Evolução Holocénica do Parque Nacional de Doñana (Espanha): evolução paleoambiental, influência climática, eventos energéticos extremos e registro de foraminíferosPublication . Guerra, Liliana; Veiga-Pires, C.; Ruiz, F.; Abad, ManuelO presente trabalho tem como objectivo realizar uma síntese da evolução paleogeográfica do Parque Nacional de Doñana, através de uma compilação da informação previamente publicada sobre o assunto, incluindo a descrição geral das variações climáticas tardi-holocénicas na Península Ibérica. Dados sedimentológicos e de microfauna de dois cores e o registo histórico de eventos energéticos extremos em Portugal e Espanha são igualmente combinados e discutidos no que diz respeito ao reconhecimento dos intervalos climáticos e eventos tsunamigénicos. Os resultados mostram que a evolução paleogeográfica do Parque Nacional de Doñana parece certamente ligada às mudanças climáticas e à ocorrência de eventos energéticos extremos como observado para o tsunami de 2168-2159 B.P., durante o período Sub-Atlântico.
