LA26 PROGRESS REPORT A) Abstract
LA26 PROGRESS REPORT A) Abstract The Project was initiated analyzing the actual climate variability impact on the RP in order to understand the forcings acting in the RP water level, and to calibrate modeling tools. It was found a southward shift of the southwestern border of the South Atlantic high during 1950/2000 and a consequent increment of the eastern wind component. This is consistent with the observed annual and seasonal water level trend and with model sensitivity to the wind field. In addition, statistics of the most important patterns of the low-level atmospheric circulation associated to floods in the RP coast indicate a trend toward more frequent and intense synoptic systems. A hydrodynamic model of the RP was developed and it is being calibrated and validated. A high- resolution regional model of the atmosphere was adapted for its use in the RP region. Climate features, relevant to the RP dynamics (wind and precipitation fields), are well simulated by some General Circulation Models. Thus, an ensemble of climate scenarios for the next hundred years in the RP region is being developed. It was started a communicative process with relevant stakeholders aiming to its involvement throughout the Project development. PROGRESS REPORT B) Report on the Tasks Scheduled to begin in the January-July 2002 period Task numbers according to the working plan. In brackets the end date of the working plan. We become aware for the need of two additional tasks. One of them, task 0, was necessary to assess the need and detail of the programmed tasks 2, 13 and 20. -

Lithium Extraction in Argentina: a Case Study on the Social and Environmental Impacts
Lithium extraction in Argentina: a case study on the social and environmental impacts Pía Marchegiani, Jasmin Höglund Hellgren and Leandro Gómez. Executive summary The global demand for lithium has grown significantly over recent years and is expected to grow further due to its use in batteries for different products. Lithium is used in smaller electronic devices such as mobile phones and laptops but also for larger batteries found in electric vehicles and mobility vehicles. This growing demand has generated a series of policy responses in different countries in the southern cone triangle (Argentina, Bolivia and Chile), which together hold around 80 per cent of the world’s lithium salt brine reserves in their salt flats in the Puna area. Although Argentina has been extracting lithium since 1997, for a long time there was only one lithium-producing project in the country. In recent years, Argentina has experienced increased interest in lithium mining activities. In 2016, it was the most dynamic lithium producing country in the world, increasing production from 11 per cent to 16 per cent of the global market (Telam, 2017). There are now around 46 different projects of lithium extraction at different stages. However, little consideration has been given to the local impacts of lithium extraction considering human rights and the social and environmental sustainability of the projects. With this in mind, the current study seeks to contribute to an increased understanding of the potential and actual impacts of lithium extraction on local communities, providing insights from local perspectives to be considered in the wider discussion of sustainability, green technology and climate change. -

218 RESUMEN Se Describen Y Analizan Los Primeros Cincuenta
RESUMEN Se describen y analizan los primeros cincuenta años de incorporación del área interior de Antofagasta a la administración y la economía chilena. Se establecen las estrategias de dominio implementadas sobre ese territorio y sus recursos, en concordancia con las directrices del modelo político y económico vigente, basado en una particular relación entre el estado, la iniciativa privada y el capital extranjero. En relación con ello, se analizan las dinámicas y reestructuraciones socioeconómicas experimentadas por los sectores sociales en el área y, particularmente, por la población indígena local. Palabras Claves: Estado Chileno - Provincia de Antofagasta - Economías Extractivas - Área Andina Interior - Minoría Indígena Regional. ABSTRACT Here we describe and analyze the first fifty years of the incorporation of the interior area of Antofagasta to the Chilean administration and economy. We discuss how domain strategies are implemented on this territory and its resources, based on its peculiar relationship with the government, private initiative and foreign capital. Related to it, we analyze the socioeconomic dynamics and restructuration experimented by the social sectors in the area and, more specifically, by the local indigenous population. Key words: Chilean State - Antofagasta Province - Extractive Economies - Interior Andes - Regional Indigenous Minority. 218 Revista UNIVERSUM . Nº 24 . Vol. 1 . 2009 .

Orthoptera, Acrididae) at Non-Outbreaking and Outbreaking Situations
SHORT COMMUNICATION Longevity and fecundity of Dichroplus maculipennis (Orthoptera, Acrididae) at non-outbreaking and outbreaking situations Yanina Mariottini1, María Laura De Wysiecki1 & Carlos Ernesto Lange1,2 1Centro de Estudios Parasitológicos y de Vectores (UNLP- CCT La Plata- CONICET). Calle 2 Nº 584, Código postal 1900, La Plata, Argentina. [email protected], [email protected] 2Comisión de Investigaciones Científicas provincia de Buenos Aires. [email protected] ABSTRACT. Longevity and fecundity of Dichroplus maculipennis (Orthoptera, Acrididae) at non-outbreaking and outbreaking situations. Dichroplus maculipennis is one of the most characteristic and damaging grasshopper species of Argentina, mainly in areas of the Pampas and Patagonia regions. We estimated and compared the longevity and fecundity of adult female D. maculipennis under controlled conditions (30°C, 14L:10D, 40% RH) from individuals collected as last instar nymphs (VI) in the field and with a known recent history of low and high density conditions. Densities of D. maculipennis at the collecting sites were 0.95 individuals per m2 in 2006 and 46 ind/m2 in 2009, representing non-outbreaking and outbreaking situations, respectively. Adult female longev- ity in 2006 (67.96 ± 3.2 days) was significantly higher (p < 0.05) than in 2009 (37.44 ± 1.98 days). The number of egg-pods per female was 3.32 ± 0.44 for 2006 and 1.62 ± 0.26 for 2009. The average fecundity in 2006 (89.29 ± 11.9 eggs/female) was signifi- cantly greater (p < 0.05) than that in 2009 (36.27 ± 5.82 eggs/female). While it was observed that the oviposition rate was higher in 2006, this difference was not significant (p > 0.05). -

Earlier indices developed for Argentina (Velázquez, 2008; 2010a) provided basically two dimensions: a) socio-economic and b) environmental. Socio-economic dimension embraces such indicators as education, health and housing, while environmental one considers three aspects: nature-based recreational resources, socially constructed recreational resources and environmental problems. -
