Oil Pollution in the Mediterranean Sea: Part II
This volume reviews the oil inputs to the Mediterranean Sea from sources such as shipping, offshore oil installations, and oil refineries, presented in a number of national case studies. A regional overview is also presented for the Adriatic Sea. Topics include mapping of oil slicks in the Adriatic, oil exploration and exploitation activities in the waters of the Levantine Basin (Eastern Mediterranean), the oil pollution preparedness and response activities of individual Mediterranean states, bilateral and regional cooperation among the various states, and the risk of pollution from shipping in sensitive sea areas, for example.

This volume offers a review of oil inputs to the Mediterranean Sea from sources such as shipping, and offshore exploration and exploitation activities. It discusses international measures to prepare for, respond to, and prevent oil pollution incidents, as well as the international legal framework and agencies with a role in pollution prevention and responses. It includes chapters on modeling the fate of oil pollution, oil spill response, and oil spill beaching probability, and presents data from a range of sources, including historic data on shipping accidents and oil exploration and exploitation activities, satellite and remote sensing data, and numerical modelling data, to provide an overv...
Deep Marine Mineral Resources
The risks of shortages for some crucial metals and uncertainty about the land-based reserves of several others justify the search to diversify our sources of supply and investigate their potential. Mineral resources in the deep sea are attracting increasing interest with the progressive discovery of various forms of ores. France possesses large areas of deep seafloor in the three oceans as well as world-class human and technological resources and know-how, resulting from over 40 years of experience. This study takes stock of knowledge about mineralisations and associated metals, technologies for exploring and exploiting them, biodiversity and the potential impact of exploitation on the deep environment and the partnerships which are vital for France and Europe. This information will be useful for decision-makers in drawing up strategies, defining research and development programmes and in enhancing and developing commercial utilizations for these high-potential resources.

Comportements alimentaires
Quels rôles jouent, par exemple, la sensation de faim, la composition des aliments, les normes sociales, l’éducation, le revenu, la publicité... dans le comportement des consommateurs ? Quels seraient les leviers d’action publique à utiliser pour que ces consommateurs adoptent les recommandations nutritionnelles favorables à leur maintien en bonne santé ? Cette expertise scientifique collective met à disposition des décideurs et du grand public les connaissances acquises sur ces questions dans des champs disciplinaires très variés (épidémiologie, nutrition, science des aliments, psychologie, sociologie, économie).
Un crapaud peut-il détecter un séisme ?
Décembre 2004, tsunami de Sumatra, janvier 2010, séisme d’Haïti, mars 2011, séisme de Tohoku et tsunami de Fukushima... Autant de drames humains qui nous rappellent en permanence combien la prévision des séismes et des tsunamis reste une science complexe et difficile. Cet ouvrage, simple et concis, est une introduction aux grandes notions élémentaires des séismes et un état des lieux de la prédiction. Qu’est-ce qu’un séisme ? Comment se forme un tsunami ou une vague scélérate ? Peut-on prévoir un séisme et avec quelle échéance ? Quels sont les signes précurseurs ? Peut-on se fier au sixième sens des animaux ? Que sait-on faire et que ne peut-on pas faire ? Pourquoi ...
