STE(A)M learning ecologies and creativity: a typology of open schooling project...
Hovardas, Tasos; Vakkou, Kyriaki; Arampatzi, Konstantina; Zacharia, Zacharias; Tasiopoulou, Evita; Mavromanolakis, Georgios; Liakopoulos, VasilisDespite the considerable funding of open schooling projects from the EU, relevant publications have been scarce. We present an analysis of open schooling initiatives launched within the frame of the STE(A)M Learning Ecologies – SLEs Project. SLEs offer opportunities to promote creativity of both learners and stakeholders engaged through innovative pedagogical design and the delivery of original learning artefac...
O aspirante Geoparque Algarvensis
Veiga-Pires, CristinaUm território identitário, inspirador, transformador e de pertença, que convida à visitação, fixação e investimento de forma consciente e em harmonia com os valores naturais e culturais presentes.Um Geoparque Mundial da UNESCO é “Para as Pessoas e com as Pessoas”, aplicando os conceitos de “Pensar Global, Agir Local” para o desenvolvimento sustentável do território do aUGGP Algarvensis a partir do seu capital n...
From a marsh that was once sea: the geological evolution of Europe's largest bi...
González-Regalado, María Luz; Guerra, Liliana; Ruiz, Francisco; Veiga-Pires, Cristina; Abad, Manuel; Izquierdo, Tatiana; Vidal, Joaquín RodríguezThis paper presents an updated list of benthic foraminifera found in brackish and marine (paleo-)environments of the Donana National Park (SW Spain) from the Lower Pliocene to the present-day. This list, based on published records, includes ninety-four species whose autoecology and temporal distribution in surface sections and continuous sediment cores allow us to infer the palaeogeographic evolution of this Bi...
The Escarpão Plateau (South of Portugal)—a study case of nested geosites from t...
Veiga-Pires, Cristina; Jenkins Oliveira Fernandes, Sónia Alexandra; Moura, Delminda; Pereira, LuísFlatfish species seem to require dietary taurine for normal growth and development. Although dietary taurine supplementation has been recommended for flatfish, little is known about the mechanisms of taurine absorption in the digestive tract of flatfish throughout ontogeny. This study described the cloning and ontogenetic expression of the taurine transporter (TauT) in the flatfish Senegalese sole (Solea senega...
The escarpão plateau (South of Portugal)—a study case of nested geosites from t...
Veiga-Pires, Cristina; Jenkins Oliveira Fernandes, Sónia Alexandra; Moura, Delminda; Pereira, LuísLocated along the southern limit of the Algarvensis aspiring UNESCO Global Geopark (aUGGp), the Escarpão Plateau is a singular geomorphological structure sculpted by fluvial, karst, and tectonic processes. The plateau is deeply scarved by the Quarteira Rivulet, forming a valley that crosses the most complete Upper Jurassic sedimentary sequence of the Eastern Algarve (Southern Portugal). This sequence includes f...
Global reorganization of atmospheric circulation during Dansgaard–Oeschger cycles
Jens Fohlmeister; Natasha Sekhon; Andrea Columbu; Guido Vettoretti; Nils Weitzel; Kira Rehfeld; Maya Ben-Yami; Norbert Marwan; Niklas BoersIce core records from Greenland provide evidence for multiple abrupt cold-warm-cold events recurring at millennial time scales during the last glacial interval. Although climate variations resembling Dansgaard- Oeschger (DO) oscillations have been identified in climate archives across the globe, our understanding of the climate and ecosystem impacts of the Greenland warming events in lower latitudes remains inc...

Veiga-Pires, Cristina; Oliveira, Sónia; Moura, Delminda; Pereira, LuísLocated along the southern limit of the aspiring algarvensis UGGp, the Escarpão Plateau is a singular geomorphological structure sculpted by the conjugation of fluvial, karst and tectonic processes. The plateau is deeply scarved by the Quarteira Rivulet forming a valley that crosses the most complete sedimentary sequence of the Upper Jurassic of the Eastern Algarve (161,2 to 145,5 million years).
Offshore 1755 CE Lisbon Tsunami deposit in the southern portuguese continental ...
Kümmerer, Vincent; Drago, Teresa; Veiga-Pires, Cristina; Silva, Pedro; Lopes, Ana; Magalhães, Vitor; Roque, Cristina; Rodrigues, Ana IsabelThe importance of tsunami hazard assessment is only possible if a complete dataset of events is available, allowing the determination of the recurrence intervals of the tsunamis adapted to local and regional conditions. One possible way to know these intervals is to study the offshore sedimentary record, looking for sediment remobilised and transported by the incoming tsunami waves and generated backwash curren...
Late holocene benthic Foraminifera of the Roman Lacus ligustinus (SW Spain): a ...
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.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 ger...
Superficial sedimentary stocks and sources of carbon and nitrogen in coastal ve...
Santos, Rui; Duque-Núñez, Natalia; de los Santos, Carmen B.; Martins, Márcio; Carrasco, A. Rita; Veiga-Pires, CristinaCoastal vegetated ecosystems are major organic carbon (OC) and total nitrogen (TN) sinks, but the mechanisms that regulate their spatial variability need to be better understood. Here we assessed how superficial sedimentary OC and TN within intertidal vegetated assemblages (saltmarsh and seagrass) vary along a flow gradient, which is a major driver of sediment grain size, and thus of organic matter (OM) content...
