	abstract = {Recent work has shown that Full Waveform Inversion could be suitable to extract physical properties such as sound speed (c), density ($\rho$), temperature (T), and salinity (S) from the weak impedance contrasts associated with the ocean{\textquoteright}s thermohaline fine structure.The seismic inversion approaches proposed so far are based on the iterative inversion of c from multichannel seismic data, while the rest of parameters (T,S, and $\rho$) are determined in a second step using two equations of state and a local T-S empirical relationship. In this work, we present an alternative to this approach. Using 1-D synthetic seismic data, we demonstrate that the direct full waveform inversion of T and S using adjoint methods is feasible without the use of any local T-S relationship and that the models of physical properties obtained with this approach are far more accurate than those inferred from c. Key Points T and S can be inverted simultaneously from ocean acoustic data using FWI Local T-S empirical relationships are not required for the inversion Our T and S results have a potential density error of 0.01 kg/m3. {\textcopyright} 2013.

	abstract = {The Cap de Creus and the Palam{\'o}s submarine canyon heads were instrumented during two consecutive winters to study their respective role in the dynamics of the sediment transport on the north-western Mediterranean Sea. Several events of dense shelf-water cascading (DSWC) were identified simultaneously at both canyons and compared between them. DSWC events were characterized by abrupt drops of temperature, increases of current speeds, and peaks of high suspended-sediment concentrations (SSC). Concentrations up to 170mg l -1 were recorded in both studied winters at the Cap de Creus Canyon coinciding with the first DSWC event of the winter concurrent with an eastern storm. Overall, the amount of sediment transported during the DSWC events was one order of magnitude greater at the Cap de Creus Canyon than at the Palam{\'o}s Canyon. Results from this study have identified for the first time the presence of DSWC events also in the Palam{\'o}s Canyon head, south of the Gulf of Lions (GoL), and corroborated previous findings that the Cap de Creus Canyon is the main pathway for DSWC and the associated sediment transport from the GoL down to the deeper regions of the north-western Mediterranean. {\textcopyright} 2011 Elsevier B.V.},

	abstract = {Previous works have presented the results of successful simulations of fluid injection into naturally fractured shale using a Discrete Element Model (DEM). The simulations included coupled fluid flow-deformation analysis, failure type and extent calculations, as well as a series of parametric analyses. The parameters investigated included: 1) injection rate and its effect on the overall fracturing results, and 2) fluid viscosity, which had a significant influence on the ratio of tensile (mode 1) failure versus shear failure. With the huge growth in the stimulation of naturally fractured formations such as fractured shales, it is clear that the industry needs new hydraulic fracturing simulation tools beyond the limits imposed by pseudo3D fracturing models. DEMs, in which both matrix block behavior and fracture behavior are explicitly modeled, offer one option for the specific modeling of hydraulic fracture creation and growth in a naturally fractured formation without, for example, the assumption of bi-planar fracture growth. In this paper, we extend the previous works to quantify, for fractured shale gas plays, the effect of stress orientation, fluid viscosity, and rock mechanical properties in terms of changes in fracture aperture and transmissivity. Changes in fracture transmissivity directly correlate with improvements in well productivity - the primary goal of the stimulation. The results of the study provide a means to improve shale completions by understanding the effects of the DFN orientation relative to the stress field, fluid viscosity, and rock mechanical properties on changes in fracture aperture, fracture transmissivity, and formation effective permeability, which directly relate to well productivity.

	abstract = {Submarine landslides are ubiquitous along the continental margins of the Mediterranean basin and occur on tectonically-dominated margins as well as on passive margins and volcanic island flanks. Tectonically quiet zones seem to have the highest density of known events. Most landslides occur as long run-out distance debris flows, but slumps and deep-seated failures are also relatively common. In abyssal plains the distal product of massive failures is recorded as large megatur-bidites, while on volcanic islands the dominant failure type is flank-collapse with development of debris avalanches. Submarine landslides, excluding megaturbidites, appear to occur in all water depths between the coastline and about 2000 m. Most landslides occupy areas ranging from a few to about 600 km2 and volumes up to 220 km3. Abyssal plain megaturbidites can attain 60, 000 km2 and 1, 000 km3. The landslides headwall height are clustered around two modes: 0 to 40 m for relatively small landslides and 160 to 200 m for the largest ones. Most recorded submarine landslides are relatively young in age and several events appear to group near the Pleistocene to Holocene transition. {\textcopyright} Springer Science + Business Media B.V. 2010.},

	abstract = {The new MARCONI-3 deep seismic profile allows recognition of the upper crustal structure of the eastern part of the Bay of Biscay and the main features of its Alpine geodynamic evolution. It denotes that the easternmost part of the Bay of Biscay consists of a thick wedge of uppermost Cretaceous to Cenozoic synorogenic sediments lying unconformably on the top of a thinned continental crust with the Mesozoic Parentis Basin to the north and the coeval Landes High to the south. The Parentis Basin appears as a major half-graben bounded southwards by a north-dipping planar fault. It is filled by a thick sequence of Jurassic-Upper Cretaceous carbonates affected by salt domes and squeezed diapirs made up of Triassic evaporites and mudstones. These salt tectonic structures also affect the overlying uppermost Cretaceous to Lower Miocene synorogenic deposits which are folded upon these structures. The Landes High includes a thin pre-Upper Cretaceous cover tilted to the south. In the Basque shelf, it is deformed by a basement-involving thrust wedge emplaced during the Late Eocene-Miocene that constitutes the North-Pyrenean contractional front. Geometric relationships and thickness variations depict that this overall structure results from the following. {\textbullet}Mesozoic extensional stage which includes a Late Jurassic (?)-Late Aptian syn-rift stage in which the Parentis Basin formed; and an Albian-early Late Cretaceous post-rift stage in which diapirs of Triassic evaporites grew close to this major fault.{\textbullet}Compressive deformational stage coeval to the Pyrenean orogeny which led to (1) the development of a latest Cretaceous up to Middle Miocene foreland basin; and (2) from Late Eocene, the formation of a basement-involving thrust wedge in the innermost foreland basin, the squeezing of the diapiric structures formed previously in the Parentis Basin and, later (Middle Miocene), the partial inversion of some pre-existent faults located in the southern Parentis Basin margin. This geodynamic evolution together with the structure of the area evidences that the extensional structure resulting from the opening of the Bay of Biscay played an important role both in the location of the North-Pyrenean front and in the North-Pyrenean foreland contractional deformation features. Specially, the lack of significant inversion structures in the Parentis Basin, despite that it belongs to a severely thinned crustal area before the Alpine compression, denotes that the Mesozoic Landes High acted as an important buffer for the propagation of the Pyrenean contractional deformation to the north. This deformational buffer was active until Early Miocene and probably vanished afterwards during the last stages of Pyrenean orogen development when some basement faults reactivated in the Parentis Basin. {\textcopyright} 2008 Elsevier Ltd.

	abstract = {We have developed a new numerical method to solve the heterogeneous poroelastic wave equations in bounded three-dimensional domains. This method is a discontinuous Galerkin method that achieves arbitrary high-order accuracy on unstructured tetrahedral meshes for the low-frequency range and the inviscid case. By using Biot{\textquoteright}s equations and Darcy{\textquoteright}s dynamic laws, we have built a scheme that can successfully model wave propagation in fluid-saturated porous media when anisotropy of the pore structure is allowed. Zero-inflow fluxes are used as absorbing boundary conditions. A continuous arbitrary high-order derivatives time integration is used for the high-frequency inviscid case, whereas a space-time discontinuous scheme is applied for the low-frequency case. We conducted a numerical convergence test of the proposed methods. We used a series of examples to quantify the quality of our numerical results, comparing them to analytic solutions as well as numerical solutions obtained by other methodologies. In particular, a large scale 3D reservoir model showed the method{\textquoteright}s suitability to solve poroelastic wave-propagation problems for complex geometries using unstructured tetrahedral meshes. The resulting method is proved to be high-order accurate in space and time, stable for the low-frequency case, and asymptotically consistent with the diffusion limit. {\textcopyright} 2008 Society of Exploration Geophysicists.

	abstract = {Mineral magnetic results and electron microscope observations from gas hydrate-bearing marine sediments cored at southern Hydrate Ridge during Ocean Drilling Program Leg 204 (Sites 1244 to 1252, Cascadia Margin, offshore Oregon) demonstrate that authigenic greigite and pyrrhotite formed as a byproduct of microbially-mediated diagenetic reactions in the sulphate, the anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM), and the methanic/gas hydrate zones. Geochemical conditions favourable for formation and preservation of greigite and pyrrhotite appear to be a limited source of sulphide, whether it derives from microbially-driven sulphate reduction in the sulphate zone, in the AOM zone or in deep sediments undergoing AOM, so that pyritization reactions are not driven to completion. Our results indicate that rock magnetic identification of greigite and pyrrhotite should be useful for detecting ancient gas hydrate systems in the marine sedimentary record, because it can enable rapid screening of ancient sediments for potential horizons where methane and disseminated gas hydrates might have occurred. Formation of authigenic greigite and pyrrhotite at different depths within the gas hydrate stability zone also implies that the magnetization of the host sediments will have been acquired at variable times, which is likely to compromise paleomagnetic results from greigite- and pyrrhotite-bearing marine sediments. {\textcopyright} 2007 Elsevier B.V.
