Glaciers on active volcanoes are subject to changes in both climate fluctuations and vol- canic activity. Whereas many studies analysed changes on individual volcanoes, this study presents for the first time a comparison of glacier changes on active volcanoes on a continental scale. Glacier areas were mapped for 59 volcanoes across Latin America around 1986, 1999 and 2015 using a semi- automated band ratio method combined with manual editing using satellite images from Landsat 4/5/ 7/8 and Sentinel-2. Area changes were compared with the Smithsonian volcano database to analyse pos- sible glacier–volcano interactions. Over the full period, the mapped area changed from 1399.3 ± 80 km2 − to 1016.1 ± 34 km2 (−383.2 km2)or−27.4% (−0.92% a 1) in relative terms.

JUSTIFICACIÓN En el territorio nacional existen alrededor de 400 volcanes, la mayoría de ellos no presentan actividad. Los volcanes activos se encuentran hacia el sur del país en las regiones de Arequipa, Moquegua y Tacna, en parte de la zona volcánica de los Andes (ZVA), estos son: Coropuna, Valle de Andagua, Hualca Hualca, Sabancaya, Ampato, Misti en la Región Arequipa; Ubinas, Ticsani y Huaynaputina en la región Moquegua, y el Yucamani y Casiri en la región Tacna. El Volcán Ubinas es considerado el volcán más activo que tiene el Perú. Desde el año 1550, se han registrado 24 erupciones aprox. (Rivera, 2010). Estos eventos se presentan como emisiones intensas de gases y ceniza precedidos, en algunas oportunidades, de fuertes explosiones. Los registros históricos señalan que el Volcán Ubinas ha presentado un Índice máximo de Explosividad Volcánica (IEV) (Newhall & Self, 1982) de 3, considerado como moderado a grande.

The analysis of ascending and descending Sentinel-1 orbits (DInSAR) and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) datasets from 2014 to 2019 imaged a radially symmetric inflating area, uplifting at a rate of 35 to 50 mm/yr and centered 5 km north of Sabancaya. The DInSAR and GNSS data were modeled independently. We inverted the DInSAR data to infer the location, depth, and volume change of the deformation source.

  • Origin of Andradite in the Quaternary Volcanic Andahua Group, Central Volcanic Zone, Peruvian Andes
    Mineralogy and Petrology (2021) 115:257–269 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00710-021-00744-0 ORIGINAL PAPER Origin of andradite in the Quaternary volcanic Andahua Group, Central Volcanic Zone, Peruvian Andes Andrzej Gałaś1 & Jarosław Majka2,3 & Adam Włodek2 Received: 21 March 2020 /Accepted: 17 February 2021 / Published online: 13 March 2021 # The Author(s) 2021 Abstract Euhedral andradite crystals were found in trachyandesitic (latitic) lavas of the volcanic Andahua Group (AG) in the Central Andes. The AG comprises around 150 volcanic centers, most of wich are monogenetic. The studied andradite is complexly zoned (enriched in Ca and Al in its core and mantle, and in Fe in this compositionally homogenous rim). The core-mantle regions contain inclusions of anhydrite, halite, S- and Cl-bearing silicate glass, quartz, anorthite, wollastonite magnetite and clinopyroxene. The chemical compositions of the garnet and its inclusions suggest their contact metamorphic to pyrometamorphic origin. The observed zoning pattern and changes in the type and abundance of inclusions are indicative of an abrupt change in temperature and subsequent devolatilization of sulfates and halides during the garnet growth. This process is interpreted to have taken place entirely within a captured xenolith of evaporite-bearing wall rock in the host trachyandesitic magma. The devolitilization of sediments, especially sulfur-bearing phases, may have resulted in occasional but voluminous emissions of gases and may be regarded as a potential hazard associated with the AG volcanism.

  • Tectonic Implications of Late Cenozoic Sedimentation from the Coastal Cordillera of Northern Chile (22-24"S)
    Journal ofrhe Geological Sociery, London, Vol. 152, 1995, pp. 51-63, 11 figs, 1 table. Printed in Northern Ireland Tectonic implications of Late Cenozoic sedimentation from the Coastal Cordillera of northern Chile (22-24"s) A. J. HARTLEY' & E. J. JOLLEY2 'Production Geoscience Research Unit, Department of Geology and Petroleum Geology, University of Aberdeen, Aberdeen AB9 2UE, UK 'BP Exploration, Farburn Industrial Estate, Dyce, Aberdeen AB2 OPB, UK Abstract: Late Cenozoic sediments from northern Chile (22-24"s) are exposed on the coastal plain between the Coastal Cordillera to the east and tilted fault blocks of the Mejillones Peninsula to the west. During the mid-Miocene to Pliocene (?up to mid-Pleistocene) a shallow marine basin developed unconformably over basement. Sedimentation was initially restricted to a small half-graben on the western margin of the Mejillones Peninsula during the Miocene. Expansion of the basin during the early Pliocene resulted in widespread shallow marine sedimentation across the study area. Alluvial, aeolian and beach sediments were restricted to the basin margins, where sediment was supplied from the Coastal Scarp (a major cliff-line bounding the western margin of the Coastal Cordillera) and isolated(islands) fault blocks. Areas of restrictedclastic input were characterized by carbonate deposition. Marine planation surfaces or terraces (0.5-600m elevation) and associated palaeo-sea cliffs cut intoMiocene-Pliocene sediments and basement rocks, developed along the coastline of northern Chile in the ?late Pliocene to late Pleistocene. A similar age for a number of late Pleistocene terraces (125 OOO years) now at different elevations, suggests that they were cut during interglacial highstands (oxygen isotope stage 5).
