 Nicolas Desmarest - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nicolas Desmarest (September 16, 1725 – September 20, 1815) was a French geologist.
Desmarest was born at Soulaines, in the department of Aube.
An enlarged and improved edition of his map of the volcanic region of Auvergne was published after his death, in 1823, by his son Anselme Gaëtan Desmarest (1784-1838), who was distinguished as a zoologist, and author of memoirs on recent and fossil crustaceans.

 Thierry Desmarest 1945— - EARLY CAREER YEARS, JOINS EXECUTIVE TEAM AT TOTAL
Desmarest graduated from the Ecole polytechnique and the Ecole des mines in his native Paris.
Desmarest's move was criticized sharply in the United States and elsewhere, although he had the support of the French government.
Desmarest did not back down from his stance, arguing that the United States was hypocritical in its refusal to do business with Iran on human rights grounds while simultaneously pursuing a trade relationship with China and other countries where the same issues were at stake.

The “Grandes Journées Desmarest” held at the Centre for Baroque Music of Versailles in 1999 have revealed the tremendous talent of a composer that, having overcome the fact that he belonged to a generation caught between the monumental figures that were Lully and Rameau, went on to create an exceptional œuvre.
On February 3rd, 1687 Desmarest’s Te Deum was interpreted in the Oratoire of the Louvre in observance of the king’s convalescence.
Desmarest is, without the shadow of a doubt, one of the great geniuses of French music.

 An Oil Titan’s Next Challenge
Desmarest's success has made him one of the quiet heroes of French capitalism, showered good fortune on Total's shareholders and made Total a power to be reckoned with in the global oil business.
Desmarest listed Total's operating cash flows at roughly $12 billion in recent years, along with a low debt ratio, the availability of $5 billion in medium-term bank loans, and reserves of $9 billion thanks to Total's stake in Sanofi-Synthelabo, the French pharmaceutical group.
Desmarest shed excess baggage, like a European paint business he sold last year, and even took the step, daring by French standards, of stripping down the company's name from the unwieldy TotalFinaElf after the merger, to simply Total, better to reflect a unified sense of purpose.

Henry Desmarest (1661­1741) was the youngest of the generation of French composers that includes Charpentier and Delalande as its most famous names.
Desmarest's background thus prepared him for the dual career of stage and sacred composer followed by so many French Baroque composers.
Following the death of his wife, Desmarest promptly fell in love with one of his pupils, the 18-year-old daughter of a director of taxation.

Ken Taylor's article analyzes Desmarest's publications in chronological order with the goal of figuring out his ideas on the origin of ancient basalts, his understanding of how volcanoes form, and his position in the neptunist-vulcanist debate.
Desmarest's (1774) studies followed the pioneering work of Guettard by presenting a detailed description of the Auvergne region and arguments for its volcanic origins.
Desmarest (1806) here turns to questions about the age relations between volcanic cones with different degrees of erosion, lavas at different elevations, and the development of the landscape.

In short, consumers are demanding that we not only provide more supplies, but that we find and deliver them more economically and thereby constrain the growth of energy prices," he said.
We need to be sure in our project selection that the rewards we can expect from our investment projects, based on a prudent estimate of future hydrocarbon prices, justify the risks we are prepared to take.
As a result, said Desmarest, "Our 2003 production is up 23% on our 1999 premerger pro forma numbers, and we expect in the next 5 years to deliver about the same amount of growth again."

 Pravda.RU:Total Ask For Tax "Grace Period" In UK North Sea   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Desmarest could have been considering the Elgin/Franklin natural gas field when he submitted his proposal for a grace period to the UK government.
Desmarest said the new tax will "take substantial (investment) funds out of the North Sea, and more than the Government expects." The levy will particularly hurt exploration and development and so-called "brown fields" projects, where new investment could revive or extend the life of a producing field, he said.
TotalFinaElf has exploration and development investments in the UK continental shelf worth GBP260 million, Desmarest said, hinting this would decline unless "appropriate amendments (were) considered." "We will first wait for the final decision" on the tax before we review our future projects, Desmarest said.

 TotalFina boss shuns U.S. - Nov. 15, 2000   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
LONDON(CNNfn) - TotalFinaElf SA Chairman Thierry Desmarest says Europe's third-largest oil company doesn't need a push into the U.S. to try to match the industry's three biggest players for size, insisting the French oil company can deliver quicker operating profit growth than its rivals on its own.
In an interview with CNNfn.com on Wednesday, France's oil industry kingpin said TotalFinaElf, formed out of last year's $54 billion merger of Total Fina and Elf Acquitaine, is targeting 40 percent annual growth in operating profit and insists its focus on exploration and production means it doesn't need a U.S. ally.
He said that in the exploration and production business, the French company is No. 1 in Africa, second in the Middle East and ranked fourth in Latin America and Southeast Asia.

Until France's Thierry Desmarest came along, that is. Just three-and-a-half years after taking the helm of Paris-based Total in 1995, the soft-spoken but steely 55-year-old showed empire-building flair with his deft $12 billion acquisition of Belgian energy group PetroFina.
Desmarest's biggest coup followed months later: his takeover in early 2000 of once-larger French oil rival Elf Aquitaine.
Investors are cheering: The company's shares have soared by more than 300% since Desmarest took over.
