Abstract:
A characteristic early Mid Ordovician conodont fauna first recorded from Bohemia is known from Morocco and southwestern Scandinavia. It is characterized by Barrandegnathus n. gen. (type species: Baltoniodus bohemicus Dzik, 1983). Barrandegnathus bohemicus is considered to be endemic to the Tornquist Sea, but it is often associated with Baltic Province conodonts. The fauna was first described from the Klabava Formation the sediments of which accumulated in the Prague Basin, Czech Republic and was subsequently recorded as reworked Ordovician conodont fauna preserved in Upper Silurian strata from Morocco and from the Komstad Limestone in southwest Scandinavia. The stratigraphical range of the species is confined to the late part of the early Mid Ordovician (Darriwilian; Volkhov Regional Stage). Barrandegnathus bohemicus probably migrated to Baltica with cold-water ocean currents moving from the high latitudinal Perunica terrane to the Gondwana supercontinent and to the southwestern margin of the Baltica continent. Baltic Province conodonts are recorded from cool-water carbonates at or just off the periphery of Gondwana. Rifting along the Gondwana margin followed by drifting of palaeocontinents and terranes towards mid-high latitudes promoted deposition of cool-water carbonates. Baltic Province conodonts are recorded from Gondwana and Gondwana derived continents. The distribution of cool-water carbonates and the associated conodont fauna shows that Baltic Province conodonts were not confined to the Baltica continent. Barrandegnathus n. gen. is introduced; the genus is represented by B. bohemicus (Dzik, 1983).

Abstract:
AbstractCaledonian collision of continents Laurentia and Baltica, with at least 1000 km of lateral shortening, dominates the bedrock along the northern margins of the North Atlantic Ocean. Scandian (Silurian–Devonian) underthrusting of Laurentia by Baltica resulted in stacking of the main orogenic wedge and its migration onto the platform edge of Baltica. Complementary thrust sheets, exposed in northeastern Greenland, telescoped the Laurentian continental margin. The Swedish part of the Caledonides, comprising the foreland segment along the central half of this mountain belt, includes the key components of: (1) the Baltoscandian inner margin, including Ordovician and Silurian foreland basins; (2) the Neoproterozoic extended outer margin dominated by mafic magma and continent–ocean transition zone; (3) Iapetus oceanic terranes; and (4) evidence that substantial parts of the outermmost Baltoscandian margin experienced deep subduction and high- and ultrahigh-pressure (HP/UHP) metamorphism during late Cambrian–Ordovician accretion. This evidence, integrated with the Norwegian Caledonides, defines an orogenic pro-wedge comparable to that in the Himalaya today. Orthogonal Scandian collision, lasting for about 60 million years (c. 440–380 Ma), involved late Silurian–Early Devonian HP/UHP metamorphism of the underthrusting Baltoscandian basement. By the Middle Devonian, the hinterland was experiencing orogen-parallel folding and axial extension, accompanying exhumation, while the orogenic pro-wedge continued to migrate eastwards on to the platform.

Abstract:
AbstractPalaeomagnetic data from mid to late Palaeozoic rocks are potentially valuable for testing models of the assembly of Spitsbergen and for determining the palaeo-position of parts of Spitsbergen relative to the major tectonic elements that comprised the Old Red Continent. Fine-grained red sandstones from the Tournaisian to Namurian Billefjorden Group, collected by members of Cambridge Spitsbergen expeditions, were subjected to stepwise chemical and thermal demagnetization. The characteristic magnetization is found in normal and reverse polarities and corresponds to a pole position at 23° S, 332 °E, dp = 5.7°, dm = 10.5°, which is near an early Carboniferous pole computed for the Baltic Shield-Russian Platform (Baltica). When compared to Laurentia (North America) in the context of the revised Mauch Chunk palaeomagnetic study, Spitsbergen falls a few degrees south of the Bullard reconstruction but the error of the determination of the palaeolatitude overlaps with this position. Therefore relative motion between any part of Spitsbergen and Laurentia and Baltica during the Carboniferous is not resolved.

Abstract:
AbstractThe Fennoscandian transition zone, including the Sorgenfrei–Tornquist Zone, constitutes the weakened and faulted bedrock between a craton, including the ancient continent Baltica to the north, and the boundary between Baltica and Avalonia along the Trans-European Fault Zone to the south. Early Permian subsidence in this transition zone resulted in the development of various basins and the initiation of a more or less continuous Permian–Paleogene depositional cycle. In southwestern Sweden, magmatic activity associated with transtensional deformation along the Sorgenfrei–Tornquist Zone prevailed during the Late Carboniferous–Permian. However, the transition zone is dominated by a Mesozoic sedimentary rock succession displaying both hiatuses and great lateral variability in composition and thickness, which can be related to several tectonic events including the progressive break-up of Pangaea. Much of the deposition took place in continental, coastal and shallow-marine settings. Early–Middle Jurassic block faulting and basanitic or melanephelinitic volcanism, as well as Late Cretaceous tectonic inversion along the Sorgenfrei–Tornquist Zone, related to a changeover to a predominantly compressive tectonic regime coeval with the Alpine orogeny, significantly influenced the depositional setting. Subsequent Paleogene–Neogene regional uplift of the southwestern margin of Baltica resulted in significant erosion of the bedrock.

Abstract:
AbstractThe Eastern Segment in the Sveconorwegian orogen, southwestern Sweden, is dominated by 2.0–1.8, 1.7 and 1.5–1.4 Ga crust; and the overlying Idefjorden terrane by 1.6–1.5 Ga crust. Assuming reorganization of a subduction system prior to 1.5–1.4 Ga and applying a sinistral transpressive component of disruption during the subsequent Sveconorwegian orogeny (1.1–0.9 Ga), the Idefjorden terrane is inferred to be indigenous outboard rather than exotic with respect to the continental plate Fennoscandia (Baltica). The geological record then records successive westwards shift of accretionary orogens along a convergent plate boundary for at least 500 million years. Sveconorwegian foreland-younging tectonic cycles at c. 1.05 (or older)–1.02 Ga (Idefjorden terrane) and at c. 0.99–0.95 Ga (Eastern Segment) prevailed. Crustal thickening and exhumation during oblique convergence preceded migmatization, magmatic activity and a changeover to an extensional regime, possibly triggered by delamination of continental lithosphere, in each cycle. Convergence after 0.95 Ga involved antiformal doming with extensional deformation at higher crustal levels (Eastern Segment) and continued magmatic activity (Idefjorden terrane). An overriding plate setting is inferred during either accretionary orogeny or, more probably, protracted continent–continent collision. Continuity of the erosional fronts in the Grenville and Sveconorwegian orogens is questioned.

Abstract:
AbstractDifferent parts of a Tonian–Early Devonian sedimentary succession, covering Proterozoic crystalline basement, occur along the erosional front to the Caledonide orogen, as outliers and coastal strips on land, and as more continuous strata in offshore areas. Rift-related Tonian–Cryogenian siliciclastic sedimentation preceded the break-up of the supercontinent Rodinia, the birth of Baltica and surrounding oceanic realms during the Ediacaran, and a marine transgression across Baltica during the Cambrian. An Ediacaran alkaline and carbonatite intrusive complex in central Sweden formed in connection with the extensional activity. Subsequently, during the Cambrian–Early Devonian, Baltica drifted northwards in the southern hemisphere to the equator, and six different lithofacies associations containing both siliciclastic and carbonate sedimentation were deposited in platformal shelf and Caledonian foreland basin settings. Bentonites in Ordovician and early Silurian successions were coupled to closure of the surrounding oceanic realms. Tectonic processes during the Caledonian orogeny around the margins to Baltica, the distance to different crustal components in this continent and climatic changes steered variations in lithofacies. Resultant fluctuations in sea-level gave rise to hiatuses and palaeo-karsts. Uranium and other metals in kerogen-rich black shales (Cambrian–Early Ordovician), hydrocarbons, stratabound Pb–Zn sulphide deposits in Cambrian (–Ediacaran?) sandstone, and limestone constitute the main resources.

Abstract:
AbstractUnderstanding what drives global diversity requires knowledge of the processes that control diversity and turnover at a variety of geographic and temporal scales. This is of particular importance in the study of mass extinctions, which have disproportionate effects on the global ecosystem and have been shown to vary geographically in extinction magnitude and rate of recovery.Here, we analyze regional diversity and turnover patterns for the paleocontinents of Laurentia, Baltica, and Avalonia spanning the Late Ordovician mass extinction and Early Silurian recovery. Using a database of genus occurrences for inarticulate and articulate brachiopods, bivalves, anthozoans, and trilobites, we show that sampling-standardized diversity trends differ for the three regions. Diversity rebounded to pre-extinction levels within 5 Myr in the paleocontinent of Laurentia, compared with 15 Myr or longer for Baltica and Avalonia. This increased rate of recovery in Laurentia was due to both lower Late Ordovician extinction rates and higher Early Silurian origination rates relative to the other continents. Using brachiopod data, we dissected the Rhuddanian recovery into genus origination and invasion. This analysis revealed that standing diversity in the Rhuddanian consisted of a higher proportion of invading taxa in Laurentia than in either Baltica or Avalonia. Removing invading genera from diversity counts caused Rhuddanian diversity to fall in Laurentia. However, Laurentian diversity still rebounded to pre-extinction levels within 10 Myr of the extinction event, indicating that genus origination rates were also higher in Laurentia than in either Baltica or Avalonia. Though brachiopod diversity in Laurentia was lower than in the higher-latitude continents prior to the extinction, increased immigration and genus origination rates made it the most diverse continent following the extinction. Higher rates of origination in Laurentia may be explained by its large size, paleogeographic location, and vast epicontinental seas. It is possible that the tropical position of Laurentia buffered it somewhat from the intense climatic fluctuations associated with the extinction event, reducing extinction intensities and allowing for a more rapid rebound in this region. Hypotheses explaining the increased levels of invasion into Laurentia remain largely untested and require further scrutiny. Nevertheless, the Late Ordovician mass extinction joins the Late Permian and end-Cretaceous as global extinction events displaying an underlying spatial complexity.

Abstract:
Ostracodes are described from the “Cerro del Fuerte Section” and neighboring localities, all in the Precordillera de San Juan (northern Argentina, San Juan Province), and from sparse faunas in Bolivia (Chuquisaca, Tarabuco Province). Additional material comes from the collection of Thomas (1905). This preliminary study gives the first detailed description of ostracode assemblages in the Upper Silurian and Lower Devonian of the South American continent. Records of other abundant lower Paleozoic (Lower Ordovician to Lower Devonian) ostracodes in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Peru, and Venezuela are also reviewed. Twelve different species, belonging to Palaeocopa (Beyrichiacea and Primitiopsacea) and to Binodicopa and Podocopa (Healdiacea, Thlip-suracea, Cypridacea) are described and a new genus is established (Australobollia n. gen.). Ostracode distribution at Cerro del Fuerte attests to the presence of the Siluro-Devonian boundary within the upper Los Espejos Formation and confirms recent stratigraphical attributions mainly based on conodonts and brachiopods (Benedetto et al., 1992). The beyrichiacean Hemsiella indicates a late Ludlow to Pridolian age for the lower part of upper Los Espejos Formation. The non-palaeocope “Thlipsurella-Phanasymmetria-Ranapeltis” assemblage found in the uppermost part of the formation indicates an Early Devonian (Lochkovian) age. The present study reveals the existence of faunal links at genus (Silurian) and probably species (Early Devonian) level between South America (Argentina, Bolivia), Laurentia, Avalonia-Baltica, and northern Gondwana. For example, close affinities (e.g., Ranapeltis sp. aff. rowlandi and Thlipsurella sp. aff. ellipsoclefta) exist between the uppermost Los Espejos Formation (Argentina) and contemporaneous horizons in the North American Mid-Continent (e.g., Haragan Formation, Oklahoma; Shriver Formation, Pennsylvania). Two types of ostracode assemblages, “beyrichiacean-dominated” and “thlipsuracean-bairdiacean-cypridacean dominated,” are recognized in the Late Silurian–Early Devonian of Argentina and discussed relative to other assemblages known in Laurentia, Avalonia-Baltica, and northern Gondwana. Their paleoecological significance in relation to marine bathymetry is addressed.

Abstract:
A west to east, marginal to inner Avalonian platform transition, comparable to that in southeast Newfoundland and southern Britain, is present in the Cambrian of southern New Brunswick. The Saint John–Caton's Island–Hanford Brook area lay on the marginal platform, and its thick, uppermost Precambrian–lower Lower Cambrian is unconformably overlain by trilobite-bearing, upper Lower Cambrian. An inner platform remnant is preserved in the Cradle Brook outlier 60 km northeast of Saint John. In contrast to the marginal platform sequences, the Cradle Brook outlier has a very thin lower Lower Cambrian and has middle Lower Cambrian strata (Bonavista Group) not present on the marginal platform. The Cradle Brook Lower Cambrian closely resembles inner platform successions in eastern Massachusetts and Trinity and Placentia bays, southeast Newfoundland. A limestone with Camenella baltica Zone fossils on Cradle Brook seems to be the peritidal limestone cap of the subtrilobitic Lower Cambrian known in Avalonian North America (Fosters Point Formation) and England (Home Farm Member).

Abstract:
La fin de l’Ordovicien (Hirnantien) est une période charnière de la vie sur Terre. Un ensemble de bouleversements environnementaux, symbolisés par le développement de grandes calottes polaires au Nord-Gondwana, s’accompagne de la première des 'Cinq Grandes Crises Biologiques' du Phanérozoïque. Une révision de la littérature montre que la corrélation directe des évènements biologiques et climatiques avec la base de l'Hirnantien est le résultat de données approximatives. Les dynamiques du microphytoplancton (acritarches) sont alors étudiées au cours de la transition Ordovicien-Silurien. Les données palynologiques publiées, obtenues par analyses de localités de hautes latitudes (Gondwana), sont complétées par l'analyse taxinomique détaillée de 136 échantillons de plateformes carbonatées de faibles latitudes de Laurentia (Île d’Anticosti, Québec) et Baltica (Valga, Estonie). 82 espèces d'acritarches identifiées dans les sections d’Anticosti (52 à Valga) permettent d'établir une nouvelle charte de corrélations biostratigraphiques au sein du bassin d’Anticosti. D'autre part, la répartition paléogéographique du phytoplancton démontre l’existence de deux provinces latitudinales hirnantiennes distinctes (laurentienne/baltique et gondwanienne), expliquant ainsi les difficultés à établir un scénario précis de la crise. Enfin, une dynamique du phytoplancton au sein de ces deux provinces est décrite lors de deux phases glaciaires. La première phase enregistre un « turn-over » des populations concomitant d'une excursion positive des isotopes du carbone. La seconde, plus forte, accompagnée d'une seconde excursion plus marquée, se caractérise par une dynamique de crise avec disparition de nombreux taxa<br>The Late Ordovician (Hirnantian) is a transition period in the history of life. Deep environmental perturbations, including the development of a large icecap on North-Gondwana, are marked by the first of the “Big Five Extinctions” of the Phanerozoic. A detailed review of literature data shows that direct correlations between biological and climatic events and the base of the Hirnantian Stage are based on many approximations. Microphytoplankton (acritarchs) biostratigraphy and dynamics across the Ordovician-Silurian boundary are thereafter studied. Published palynological data resulting from the study of high latitudes (Gondwana) localities are completed by a detailed taxonomical analysis of 136 rock samples of low latitude carbonate platforms from Laurentia (Anticosti Island, Québec) and Baltica (Valga, Estonia). Eighty-two acritarch species identified in the Anticosti sections, and 52 from the Valga borehole permit to establish a new biostratigraphic correlative chart in the Anticosti Basin. Moreover, the phytoplankton palaeogeographical distribution shows the existence of two distinct Hirnantian latitudinal phytoplanctonic provinces (Laurentian/Baltic and Gondwanan), accounting for the difficulties to establish a precise scenario of the crisis at a global scale. Finally, phytoplankton dynamics are described in the two regions during two glacial phases. The first one records a turn-over in populations concomitantly to a positive carbon isotope excursion. The second one, larger and paired with a second stronger excursion, is characterized by a crisis marked by the disappearances of numerous taxa

Abstract:
The marine ecosystems are fundamental for human welfare. A number of current environmental pressures need attention, and the formulation of management strategies requires information from a variety of analytical dimensions. The linkage between environmental change and resulting implications for human welfare is one such dimension. This thesis presents studies on welfare implications from hypothetical future policies which improve the state of the marine environment. The method for these studies is economic valuation. The studied scenarios concern eutrophication in the Baltic Sea (including the Kattegat) and oil spill risk from shipping in the Lofoten-Vesterålen area in the Arctic Barents Sea. The thesis shows that the economic benefits from undertaking policies to improve or protect the marine environment in these cases are substantial and exceed the costs of taking measures. In addition to providing new monetary estimates, the thesis also provides new insights concerning 1) what type of scenario to use when valuing an environmental improvement and 2) whether there may exist trade-offs between precision in estimates and the level of ambition with respect to survey instrument complexity and econometric models when conducting valuation studies. The findings suggest an end of an era for studies in which the environmental change is unspecified or based on a single environmental indicator while the actual consequences of the suggested measures are more multifaceted. In contrast, relevant scenarios to study are well-specified and holistic. The thesis further reveals that it might not always be worth the effort to go for the most advanced scenario presentation or statistically best-fitting model specifications. This is something that needs to be further discussed among practitioners in order to allocate valuation resources wisely and not waste resources on unnecessarily elegant valuation studies.<br><p>QC 20161011</p>

Abstract:
The Soviet Union's victory in World War II offered both Moscow and Communists in Europe the opportunity to break out of the isolation that had afflicted them during the interwar years. With the end of the war in Europe in 1945, the Soviet front line traversed Central Europe from Germany's Baltic Coast in the north to the Yugoslav–Italian border in the south. By the mid-1950s, the enhanced influence of communism had been both consolidated and contained. Explaining the paradoxical consolidation and containment of communism's influence across the continent is fundamental to grasping the contours of politics in Europe during the postwar period. The dominant strand in the historiography that approaches such an explanation is informed by the perspective of international history. The pressures of survival during the precarious situation for the Soviet Union that persisted throughout 1942 reinforced the non-participatory, bureaucratic Stalinism which emerged during 1939–1940. The launch of Barbarossa underpinned an escalation in the radicalisation of Nazism.

Abstract:
Founded as an ecclesiastical center, trading hub, and intended capital of a feudal state, Riga was Old Livonia's greatest city and its indispensable port. Because the city was situated in what was initially remote and inhospitable territory, surrounded by pagans and coveted by regional powers like Poland, Sweden, and Muscovy, it was also a fortress encased by a wall. This book begins in the twelfth century with the arrival to the eastern Baltic of German priests, traders, and knights, who conquered and converted the indigenous tribes and assumed mastery over their lands. It ends in 1710 with an account of the greatest war Livonia had ever seen, one that was accompanied by mass starvation, a terrible epidemic, and a flood of nearly Biblical proportions that devastated the city and left its survivors in misery. Readers will learn about Riga's people—merchants and clerics, craftsmen and builders, porters and day laborers—about its structures and spaces, its internal conflicts and its unrelenting struggle to maintain its independence against outside threats. The book is an indispensable guide to a quintessentially European city located in one of the continent's more remote corners.

While featuring the modernist era in France, analyses include commentary on performers and visual artists from the margins of the European continent: Ireland and the Baltics; Denmark and the Mediterranean. Representations of silent Pierrots on stage are contrasted with images of fixed-form maskers and masquerades; two-dimensional depictions in paintings and photographs further the study of the form-altered human figure. The relationship of the European avant-garde with indigenous masquerade from Africa and the Americas is discussed and presented in a series of eighteen photographic counterpoints. Modernist explorations of the masked gaze and the nature of looking with the painted face are considered. Meanings suggested by the disguised body in motion and in stasis are investigated via citations of the work of a wide range of masqueraders: Akarova, Bernhardt, Cahun, Höch, Fuller, Mnouchkine, Stein and Wigman, as well as Artaud, Barrault, Cocteau, Copeau, Deburau, Fo, Milhaud and Picasso. Connections between modernist disguising with manifestations of masquerade in daily life, fashion, fine art, media, opera and theatre are proposed while arguing that masking and the carnivalesque are omnipresent in contemporary culture. Modernist Disguise provides greater understanding of the impact of facial masking upon everyday interactions and perceptions experienced, for instance, during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The book proposes an interdisciplinary and international lexicon for critical conversation on masking objects, mask play and masquerade as performance.
