Geochemical and Isotope Characterisation of Thermo-Mineral Springs of Corsica Island: From Geological Complexity to Groundwater Singularity by Margaux Dupuy, Emilie Garel, Frederic Huneau, Sebastien Santoni, Maria Di Rosa, Alexandra Mattei

“…Here, we propose to use an innovative combination of geochemical, isotopic (³⁴S, ¹⁴C, ¹⁸O, ²H) and geothermometry tools to identify, for the first time in a multi-composite geological context, all processes at the origin of diversified thermo-mineral waters. 19 springs covering a wide range of temperature and chemical composition emerging on a restricted area of Corsica Island (France) were selected. Geochemical results highlight five geochemical provinces, suggesting a common origin for some of them. …”

How Do Mediterranean Pine Trees Respond to Drought and Precipitation Events along an Elevation Gradient? by Sonja Szymczak, Martin Häusser, Emilie Garel, Sébastien Santoni, Frédéric Huneau, Isabel Knerr, Katja Trachte, Jörg Bendix, Achim Bräuning

“…The five study sites were located along an elevation gradient on the Mediterranean island of Corsica (France). Positive stem increment in the raw dendrometer measurements was separated into radial stem growth and stem swelling/shrinkage in order to determine which part of the trees’ response to climate signals can be attributed to growth. …”
