  • the calcarenite di gravina formation in matera southern italy new insights for coarse grained large scale cross bedded bodies encased in offshore deposits
    AAPG Bulletin, 2001
    Co-Authors: Luis Pomar, Marcello Tropeano
    Abstract:

    Excellent outcrops of the upper Pliocene-lower Pleistocene Calcarenite di Gravina around Matera (southern Italy) provide continuous exposure of coarse-grained, clastic basin-margin, shoreline to offshore facies. Among these facies, the most conspicuous and volumetrically important are the transition-slope deposits that form large-scale, high-angle, cross-bedded lithosomes. These are laterally extensive, parallel with the paleoshoreline, and show seaward progradation. We interpret them to represent avalanches of sediment swept out onto a depositional slope, below wave base, from the shoreface zone by storm waves and wind-driven currents. Three types of building blocks are recognized based on bedding patterns and facies architecture: embryonic parasequences, mature parasequences, and simple sequences. Parasequences formed during stillstands of sea level and simple sequences during high-frequency cycles of relative change of sea level. These building blocks are stacked in a backstepping configuration and onlap onto Cretaceous limestone substrate. Backstepping is believed to be due to a tectonically forced transgression that is punctuated by high-frequency cycles of sea level. Modern analogs for these building blocks are the Holocene prograding prisms detected in high-resolution seismic lines of the Mediterranean shelves. The reflection patterns of these seismic units resemble the bedding architecture of the Matera simple sequences and parasequences and show similarities of shape, size, position, and orientation of Coastal Setting, and direction of progradation. Comparison of the Holocene prisms and the Pliocene-Pleistocene accretional units in Matera indicates that they may represent the same (Begin page 662) genetic process: progradation of clastic prisms below the wave base level. The Matera accretional units also show similarities with other examples of laterally extensive, large-scale, cross-bedded sand bodies encased in offshore deposits, such as some sandbanks. Differentiating between these laterally extensive and seaward-prograding cross-bedded sand bodies and some coarse-grained Gilbert-type deltas is difficult, however, if interpretations are based only on two-dimensional (2-D) outcrops in dip section. Without high-resolution data it is also difficult to distinguish between transition-slope and prograding shoreface lithosomes. This difficulty may be acute where only seismic or well-log data are available; however, certain other architectural characteristics, such as stacking and preservation of facies belts and position of bounding surfaces, as well as differences in associated sedimentary structures and fossil content, may be used for interpretation. The Matera example provides a mechanism for emplacement in offshore Settings of elongate and strandline-parallel sand and gravel deposits that prograde seaward and that preserve a coarsening-upward internal succession. This article offers an interpretation for other ancient examples of large-scale, cross-bedded lithosomes encased in offshore deposits.

  • health facility committees and facility management exploring the nature and depth of their roles in coast province kenya
    BMC Health Services Research, 2011
    Co-Authors: Catherine Goodman, A Opwora, M Kabare, Sassy Molyneux
    Abstract:

    Background: Community participation has been emphasized internationally as a way of enhancing accountability, as well as a means to enhance health goals in terms of coverage, access and effective utilization. In rural health facilities in Kenya, initiatives to increase community accountability have focused on Health Facility Committees (HFCs). In Coast Province the role of HFCs has been expanded with the introduction of direct funding of rural facilities. We explored the nature and depth of managerial engagement of HFCs at the facility level in two rural districts in this Coastal Setting, and how this has contributed to community accountability Methods: We conducted structured interviews with the health worker in-charge and with patients in 30 health centres and dispensaries. These data were supplemented with in-depth interviews with district managers, and with health workers and HFC members in 12 health centres and dispensaries. In-depth interviews with health workers and HFC members included a participatory exercise to stimulate discussion of the nature and depth of their roles in facility management. Results: HFCs were generally functioning well and played an important role in facility operations. The breadth and depth of engagement had reportedly increased after the introduction of direct funding of health facilities which allowed HFCs to manage their own budgets. Although relations with facility staff were generally good, some mistrust was expressed between HFC members and health workers, and between HFC members and the broader community, partially reflecting a lack of clarity in HFC roles. Moreover, over half of exit interviewees were not aware of the HFC’s existence. Women and less well-educated respondents were particularly unlikely to know about the HFC.
