Âge au décès de l’enfant néandertalien de l’Hortus by Fernando Ramirez Rozzi

“…The determination of age at death of Neanderthal children is at the centre of discussion on the type of growth which characterised these fossil humans. Based on analysis of incremental lines on the surface of the dental enamel (perikymata), we have determined the age at death of the child from Hortus. …”

L’écologie territoriale et les enjeux de la dématérialisation des sociétés : l’apport de l’analyse des flux de matières by Sabine Barles

“…Thanks to several case studies at the regional and département scale, the paper illustrates the contribution of bulk material balances to the understanding of territorial metabolism; studies the main material flows and identifies the three main types of materials involved: construction minerals (the consumption of witch is linked to urban sprawl process), agricultural and food products, fossil fuels. The paper also makes some suggestions in terms of pathways to dematerialisation, and proposes further research developments.…”

Banning new gas boilers as a no-regret mitigation option by Célia Escribe, Lucas Vivier

“…Abstract The low uptake of low-carbon heating systems across Europe has prompted authorities to consider more ambitious measures, including a complete ban on the installation of new fossil fuel boilers. In this analysis, we simulate the impacts of introducing this ban in France under 11,664 scenarios covering major uncertainties. …”
