C.; DCT - Departamento de Ciências da Terra; LNEG - Laboratório Nacional de Energia e GeologiaThe Iberian Geochemistry Congress is currently a reference congress in the aims of Iberian Geology, particularly in the Geochemistry domain. The first edition of this meeting was held in 1977, in which the first Geochemistry Week took place, at Instituto Superior Técnico (Lisboa). Ever since the Iberian Geochemistry Congress
- Erratum: A three-dimensional skeleton of Goniopholididae from the Late Jurassic of Portugal: Implications for the Crocodylomorpha bracing system (Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society DOI: 10.1093/zoolinnean/zlz102)Publication . Puértolas-Pascual, E.; Mateus, O.; DCT - Departamento de Ciências da Terra; GeoBioTec - Geobiociências, Geoengenharias e Geotecnologias; Blackwell Publishing LtdIn an earlier version of this article Goniopholididae indet. was incorrectly referred to as Goniopholididae (unidentified) on page 6 [now page 526] and the subheading 'Femur' was omitted on page 11 [now page 531]. These have both now been corrected.
- Remote sensing in food production - A reviewPublication . Calvão, Teresa; Pessoa, Maria Fernanda; DCEA - Departamento de Ciências e Engenharia do Ambiente; CICEGE - Centro de Investigação em Ciência e Engenharia Geológica; DCT - Departamento de Ciências da Terra; United Arab Emirates UniversityFAO's most recent assessments indicate that, globally, in 2011-13, about one in eight people in the world are likely to have suffered from chronic hunger, not having adequate food supplies for an active and healthy life. Food security crises are now caused, almost exclusively, by problems in access to food, not absolute food availability, but, monitoring agricultural production remains fundamental. Traditional ground-based systems of production estimation have many limitations which have restricted their use. However, remotely sensed satellite data offer timely, objective, economical, and synoptic information for crop monitoring. The objective of this paper is to review the contribution of remote sensing techniques in the classification, monitoring of crop phenology and condition and estimation of production.
- A new chelonioid turtle from the Paleocene of Cabinda, AngolaPublication . Myers, TS; Mateus, O.; Polcyn, M. J.; Vineyard, D; Jacobs, LL; GeoBioTec - Geobiociências, Geoengenharias e Geotecnologias; DCT - Departamento de Ciências da TerraWe report a new chelonioid turtle on the basis of a nearly complete skull collected in lower Paleocene, shallow marine deposits, equivalent to the offshore Landana Formation, near the town of Landana in Cabinda Province, Angola. Chelonioid material previously reported from this locality is likely referable to this new taxon. The well-preserved skull is missing the left quadrate, squamosal, and prootic, both opisthotics, and the mandible. The skull possesses a rod-like basisphenoid rostrum, which is a synapomorphy of Chelonioidea, but it differs from other chelonioid skulls in that the contact between the parietal and squamosal is absent, and the posterior palatine foramen is present. Phylogenetic analysis recovers the new taxon as a basal chelonioid. The Paleocenetextendash Eocene strata near Landana have produced a wealth of turtle fossils, including the holotype of the pleurodire Taphrosphys congolensis. A turtle humerus collected from the Landana locality differs morphologically from the humeri of chelonioids and Taphrosphys, indicating the presence of a third taxon. Chelonioid fossil material in the Landana assemblage is rare compared to the abundant fragmentary remains of Taphrosphys that are found throughout the stratigraphic section. This disparity in abundance suggests the new chelonioid taxon preferred open marine habitats, whereas Taphrosphys frequented nearshore environments.
