E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Resumen Entre los terrenos kársticos superficiales y subterráneos, las cuevas son, actualmente para determinados colectivos, el producto más interesante del karst y, que de forma creciente, ha atraído la curiosidad humana desde que los seres humanos habitan el Planeta. Prueba de ello son los restos de arte rupestre y yacimientos paleontológicos descritos en muchas cuevas o el creciente número de visitantes anuales que tienen. Sin embargo, en las últimas décadas los equipos de científicos y espeleólogos se han ocupado especialmente del karst en términos de cifras, con especial énfasis en grandes cavidades. Bien, atendiendo al tamaño de las mismas en su desarrollo horizontal o vertical, o de forma parcial, midiendo volúmenes de galerías y conductos, cámaras o espeleotemas, entre otros elementos. Existen exhaustivos rankings de los sistemas de cavidades de mayor longitud total de galerías exploradas, de las salas más grandes, de las cuevas más profundadas o de los espeleotemas más grandes en su tipo. Esto ha condicionando que, por un lado, exista un auge en la investigación de los sistemas endokársticos más grandes del mundo, y por otro, que paisajes superficiales kársticos espectaculares del Planeta hayan pasado a un segundo orden en cuanto a el interés científico o turístico.

To managereef tourism effectively a greaterunderstanding is neededof reef ecological processesand the impactsthat tourist activities haveon them. This study explores the impact of divers and snorkelerson the reefs of St. Lucia, West Indies, and how the reef environmentaffects tourists' perceptionsand experiencesof them. Observationsof divers and snorkelersrevealed that their impact on the reefs followed certainpatterns and could be predictedfrom individuals', site and dive characteristics.Camera use, night diving and shorediving were correlatedwith higher levels of diver damage.Briefings by dive leadersalone did not reducetourist contactswith the reef but interventiondid.

    The Glaciers of the Torngat Mountains of Northern Labrador By © Robert Way A Thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Department of Geography Memorial University of Newfoundland September 2013 St. John 's Newfoundland and Labrador Abstract The glaciers of the Tomgat Mountains of northem Labrador are the southemmost m the eastern Canadian Arctic and the most eastem glaciers in continental North America. This thesis presents the first complete inventory of the glaciers of the Tomgat Mountains and also the first comprehensive change assessment for Tomgat glaciers over any time period. In total, 195 ice masses are mapped with 105 of these showing clear signs of active glacier flow. Analysis of glaciers and ice masses reveal strong influences of local topographic setting on their preservation at low elevations; often well below the regional glaciation level. Coastal proximity and latitude are found to exert the strongest control on the distribution of glaciers in the Tomgat Mountains. Historical glacier changes are investigated using paleomargins demarking fanner ice positions during the Little Ice Age. Glacier area for 165 Torngat glaciers at the Little Ice Age is mapped using prominent moraines identified in the forelands of most glaciers. Overall glacier change of 53% since the Little Ice Age is dete1mined by comparing fanner ice margins to 2005 ice margins across the entire Torngat Mountains. Field verification and dating of Little Ice Age ice positions uses lichenometry with Rhizocarpon section lichens as the target subgenus. The relative timing of Little Ice Age maximum extent is calculated using lichens measured on moraine surfaces in combination with a locally established lichen growth curve from direct measurements of lichen growth over a - 30 year period.

  • Cleopatra Crater on Venus: Happy Solution of the Volcanic Vs
    CLEOPATRA CRATER ON VENUS: HAPPY SOLUTION OF THE VOLCANIC VS. IMPACT CRATER CONTROVERSY; A.T. Basilevsky, A.T. Vernadsky Institute of Geochemistry and Analytical chemistry, Moscow, USSR, and G.G. Schaber, U.S. Geological Survey, Flagstaff AZ 86001 ~ntroduction. Cleopatra is a 100-km-diameter crater on the eastern slope of Maxwell Montes in western Ishtar Terra. For over 12 years, Cleopatra has been the subject of scientific controversy. Discovered during the Pioneer Venus altimetric survey, this feature was initially interpreted as a caldera near the top of a giant volcanic construct, Maxwell Montes [I]. Venera 15/16 data and recent Arecibo radar images show, however, that the Maxwell Montes appear to be more of a tectonic construct, with little or no resemblance to other giant shields known in the Solar System; thus, a nonvolcanic origin of Cleopatra was proposed [2-61. The similarity of the double-ring structure of Cleopatra to those of other multi-ring impact craters of similar size on Venus and the Moon, Mercury, and Mars was more recently given by Basilevsky and Ivanov [7] as the primarily reason to consider this feature an impact crater. At the same time, some characteristics of Cleopatra seemed to contradict an impact origin. For example, Schaber et al. [8], suggestingthat a definitive verification of a volcanic or impact origin would probably require Magellan data, proposed that the evidence from Venera 15/16 and earlier data for a probable volcanic origin for Cleopatra is substantial. They cited, among other points: (1) the absence of a raised rim and highly backscattering ejecta deposits; (2) the crater's association with plains-forming deposits immediately downslope to the east, interpreted as probable lava flows emanating from a distinct breach in the crater's rim; (3) the excessive depth (2.5 km) and depth-to-diameter ratio (0.028) of the crater, (4) the offset of the inner and outer craters; and (5) the crater's position in what was interpreted as a regional tectonic framework.

Themost prominent terrain types are the volcanic plains of Lakshmiand the mountain belts of Maxwell,Freyja, and Danu. Thebelts appear to havemarked variations in age. Thereare also extensive regions of tesserain boththe upland and outboard plateaus, some rather featureless smoothscarps, flanking basins of complexextensional tectonics, and regions of gravitationalor impactmodifica- tion.Parts of Ishtarare the locations of contemporaryvigorous tectonics and past extensive volcanism. Ishtar appearsto be the consequence of a history of several100 m.y., in whichthere have been marked changes in kinematic patternsand in whichactivity at any stage has been strongly influenced by the past. Ishtar demonstrates three general propertiesof Venus:(1) erosionaldegradation is absent,leading to preservationof patternsresulting from past activity;(2) manysurface features are the responses ofa competentlayer less than 10 km thick to flowsof 100km orbroaderscale; and (3) thesebroader scale flows are controlled mainly by heterogeneities inthe mantle.
