Milieux, processus, faciès et dynamiques morphosédimentaires des formations travertineuses quaternaires en relation avec les changements climatiques
Environments, processes, and dynamic morpho-sedimentary facies of Quaternary travertine formations in relation to climatic changes

Summary/Abstract: Travertine deposits L. S. are related to well define specific processes that are the expression of particular hydrogeologic, geomorphologic and climatic context. Without being exhaustively, this paper list a review of the analytic potential of studies concerning quaternary travertine’s evolution for a better knowledge of the relationship between climate / human occupations and morphogenic dynamics. Several examples come from research realised between Mediterranean and Caucasus range in the context of actual international scientific programs. Travertine formations and sequences exposed are inheritances of warm climatic phases and high quality palaeoenvironmental archives showing notably the influence of human occupations on landscape evolution since the Neolithic
