The importance of the principle of subsidiarity lies in its role in drawing the demarcation line between EU and member state responsibility for policy formulation and implementation. In theory, the application of the principle of subsidiarity appears...

Qualitative and quantitative approaches in palaeohydrography: a case study from core-top parameters in the Gulf of Cadiz (2010)
Journal Article
Rogerson, M., Schönfeld, J., & Leng, M. J. (2011). Qualitative and quantitative approaches in palaeohydrography: a case study from core-top parameters in the Gulf of Cadiz. Marine Geology, 280(1-4), 150-167. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.margeo.2010.12.008

Palaeoceanography relies on the assumption that parameters measureable in sediment cores correlate reliably to hydrographic parameters. Areas of dynamic watermass mixing, which generally have steep hydrographic gradients, therefore provide both a tem...
