Yacht Clubs Economic Engine – IrishDentist ie

The Balearic social nautical sector, made up of 24 nautical clubs that mostly house boats of less than ten meters (66% of the total moorings are small boats), generates 627 million euros directly and another 210 million indirectly , in added value. In addition, it creates a fabric that, between clubs and related companies, employs a total of 3,883 people, just over 1,100 of them directly. The data are part of the conclusion of a study carried out by the Department of Economics and Business of the Universitat de les Illes Balears (UIB), three of whose professors -Rafael Crespí, María Antonia García and Margarita Alemany- have analyzed the data corresponding to the financial year 2019 , the last one before the pandemic.

Geoscientists reconstruct 6 5 million years of sea level stands

Credit: University of South Florida TAMPA, Fla. (January 22, 2021)- The pressing concern posed by rising sea levels has created a critical need for scientists to precisely predict how quickly the oceans will rise in coming centuries. To gain insight into future ice sheet stability and sea-level rise, new research from an international team led by University of South Florida geoscientists is drawing on evidence from past interglacial periods when Earth s climate was warmer than today. Using deposits in the caves of the Mediterranean island of Mallorca, known as phreatic overgrowths on speleothems, to reconstruct past sea level stands, the team was able to determine that the vertical extent of these unique deposits corresponds with the amplitude of the fluctuating water table, said author USF geosciences Professor Bogdan Onac. That determination now is providing scientists with a way to precisely measure past sea levels.

UNM scientists, part of international geosciences team, reconstruct 6 5 million years of sea-level stands in the Western Mediterranean

, by investigating samples that are either older or younger than the Pliocene epoch (5.3 to 2.6 million years ago). Using precisely dated cave deposits from several of the Mallorcan caves and applying numerical and statistical models to estimate the corrections for glacial isostatic adjustment and long‐term uplift, they translated the local sea level estimates into global mean sea level (GMSL). Their results show that during key time events, such as Pliocene–Pleistocene Transition, some 2.6 million years ago, the GMSL stood at 6.4 meters (some 10 meters lower than the warmer Pliocene), whereas during the beginning and the end of the Mid‐Pleistocene Transition the sea level was at −1.1 meter and 5 meters respectively.
