The explosions were initially triggered by a volatile oversaturated (4–7 wt.% H2O) magma. Several lines of evidences suggest a small blast surge, where a wood-rich pyroclastic deposit was emplaced as a ground layer, followed by several units of coarse-grained (MdΦ between −0.65 and −5.40) tephra deposits (LU: lapilli units, DAU: double ash units). LU-1, -2, -3, DAU-1 and -2 consist of unconsolidated and well- to poorly sorted vesiculated bombs and lapilli of andesite, some blocks, ash and shredded wood. The individual units are possibly correlated with the major explosions of July 29. The thickness of the deposits decreases with the distance from the volcano from 5.6 m to a few centimeters.

  • Mejoras En El Paradigma Del Manejo De La Gestión Del Riesgo En Los Parques Nacionales Volcánicos De Costa Rica, Entre El Año 2000 Y El 2020

Alvarado*, Lidier Esquivel y Blas Sánchez Comisión Nacional de Prevención de Riesgos y Atención de Emergencias (CNE), Unidad de Investigación y Análisis del Riesgo, San José, Costa Rica *Autor para contacto: [email protected] (Recibido: 23/08/2020; aceptado 13/01/2021) RESUMEN: Costa Rica es conocida a nivel mundial como una meca turística. A partir de 1955, casi todos los grandes volcanes comenzaron a ser declarados parques nacionales, deteniendo la ocupación y explotación humana en la cúspide de estos sectores, al tiempo que varios parques han estado expuestos a la actividad eruptiva de los cinco volcanes históricamente activos. Los parques nacionales volcánicos están sujetos al turismo y, con ello, al peligro de que se puedan generar afectación y pérdidas en vidas huma- nas. La muerte de una turista norteamericana y su guía costarricense en el año 2000, así como la repentina erupción del Poás en el año 2017, aunado a la persistente actividad eruptiva del Turrialba por más de 10 años, fueron los mecanismos disparadores de cuatro grandes cambios en el manejo y seguridad de los parques volcánicos costarricenses: a) la generación del decreto de restricción del uso de la tierra alrededor

Soto ⁎, Guillermo E. Alvarado Área de Amenazas y Auscultación Sísmica y Volcánica, Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad, Apdo 10032-1000, San José, Costa Rica Received 30 June 2005; accepted 28 March 2006 Abstract New tephra-stratigraphic studies of Arenal volcano have been used to update its volcanic history. Deposits of major eruptions are renamed AR-1 to AR-22 (from older to younger, in stratigraphic order), extending from 7 ka B.P. to 1968 A.D. Arenal tephras overlie regional tuffs that are N20,000 years old. Isopachs and characteristics of the most relevant and recognized fall deposits are presented. Among Arenal eruptions, plinian events like AR-20, AR-15, AR-12 and AR-9, were the most relevant, with tephra volumes up to 0.44 km3. These plinian eruptions are separated by periods of 750–1080 years. Also 8 subplinian, 7 violent strombolian and 2 vulcanian eruptions have been recognized and correlated in Arenal's tephra sequence. Tens of other minor explosive eruptions resembling in size to AR-22, which occurred in July 1968, have been recognized. Lava cycles have generally followed the plinian eruptions. Typical erupting volumes for these cycles have been in the order of ∼ 0.7 km3. The estimated total volume of tephra fall is ∼ 4.5 km3. The rate of total volcanics erupted is ∼ 2.7 km3 ka−1 (0.086 m3 s−1).
