The high-resolution analyses attained in this study allowed to distinguish abrupt periods, identify the complex structures of the early and mid-Holocene arid intervals and to compare their timing with Titicaca lake and Sajama ice records. Three main components in the lake sediments have been identified: (a) biogenic component, mainly from diatoms (b) volcanics (ash layers) from the nearby Parinacota Volcano and (c) endogenic carbonates. The correlation between volcanic input in Lago Chungara´ and the total particles deposited in the Nevado Sajama ice core suggests the Parinacota Volcano as the common source. The geochemical record of Lago Chungara´ indicates an increase in siliceous productivity during the early Holocene, lagging behind the rise in temperatures inferred from the Nevado Sajama ice core. The regional mid-Holocene aridity crisis can be characterized as a number of short events with calcite and aragonite precipitation in the offshore lake zones. r 2006 Elsevier Ltd and INQUA.

Introduction to any examination of rapid climate fluctuations, are scarce, with diverse proxy records showing numerous Recent research of past climate oscillations has found discrepancies (i.e. Grosjean, 2001). Detailed knowledge of that changes between climate modes during the Holocene the distribution and amplitude of abrupt climate changes in occurred within decades (Mayewski et al., 2004), a period tropical latitudes of the Andean Altiplano is still sparse and of time similar to more recent climate changes (Houghton the processes responsible for climate variability at different et al., 2001). In this context, scientific efforts over the last temporal and regional scales are barely understood. The few years have been directed towards understanding the suggested close link between higher lake levels in the timing and mechanisms of abrupt climate changes during Andean Altiplano and cold sea surface temperatures in the the last millennia. Despite the recent increase in the number Equatorial Atlantic (i.e., Heinrich events, Younger Dryas, of high-resolution paleoclimate records from low latitudes 8.2 kyr event or the Little Ice Age) indicated by the Titicaca (e.g. Hughen et al., 1996, 2004; Kuhlmann et al., 2004), the lake record (Baker et al., 2001a) requires additional records role of the tropics in abrupt Holocene climate changes from tropical South America to confirm this paleoclimate remains a matter of debate.

This hypothesis is also supported by archeological evidence (Nu´ n˜ ez et al., 2002). In addition to moisture reconstructions, a recent study of long-chain alkenones from Titicaca lake sediments also points to enhanced regional temperatures during the mid-Holocene (Theissen et al., 2005). However, other recent studies support a more complex spatial and temporal pattern, and even periods of increased humidity during the mid- Holocene (Holmgren et al., 2001; Latorre et al., 2003; Servant and Servant-Vildary, 2003). Paleoclimate sedimen- tary records possessing a robust and accurate chronologi- cal framework are therefore imperative to understanding both the regional significance and the timing of abrupt humidity changes detected during the mid-Holocene. The overall goal of this study was to document the regional pattern of climatic change for the last 14,000 cal. yr BP using a sedimentary record from Lago Chungara´ (Andean Altiplano, 181S). This paper reports a high-resolution geochemical record from the lake obtained by an X-ray fluorescence (XRF) core scanner together with other paleoenvironmental indicators (i.e. physical proper- ties, mineralogy, opal content and total organic carbon (TOC)). The resulting high-resolution analyses, in tandem with a multi-proxy approach, allowed us not only to infer the paleoclimate signal from the Lago Chungara´ record, but also to contribute to the identification, correlation and understanding of abrupt climate change during the Holocene in tropical regions of South America. 2.

Admont, im März 2010 Jürgen Reinmüller Vorwort 3 Vorwort Die höchstgelegenen Bereiche der Hochgebirge der Erde weisen bis dato eine außerordentlich geringe Dichte an Klimastationen und damit ein Defizit an verfügbaren Klimadaten auf. Aussagen zu den thermischen Aspekten in den Gipfellagen extremer Hochgebirge jenseits der 6000 m Grenze konnten bis dato nur unbefriedigend erörtert werden. Als staatlich geprüfter Berg- und Schiführer und begeisterter Höhenbergsteiger liegen die beeindruckenden, hochgelegenen Gipfel seit Jahren in meinem Interessensbereich. Zudem sehe ich mich in meinem bergführerischen Arbeitsbereich zunehmend mit den Zeichen des aktuellen Klimawandels konfrontiert. Schmelzende Gletscher oder auftauender Permafrost stellen für Bergsteiger ein nicht unwesentliches Gefahrenpotential dar. Die durch das von Univ. Prof. Dr. Reinhold Lazar ins Leben gerufene Projekt HAMS.net (High Altitude Meteorological Station Network) gewonnenen Daten können künftig bei der Tourenplanung diverser Expeditionen miteinbezogen werden und stellen eine wichtige Grundlage für klimatologische Hochgebirgsforschung in großen Höhen dar. Ich selbst durfte dieses interessante Projekt durch den Data-Logger-Tausch am Aconcagua im Februar 2007 ein wenig unterstützen und werde dem Projekt auch in Zukunft mit Rat und Tat zur Seite stehen.

  • Appendix A. Supplementary Material to the Manuscript
    Appendix A. Supplementary material to the manuscript: The role of crustal and eruptive processes versus source variations in controlling the oxidation state of iron in Central Andean magmas 1. Continental crust beneath the CVZ Country Rock The basement beneath the sampled portion of the CVZ belongs to the Paleozoic Arequipa- Antofalla terrain – a high temperature metamorphic terrain with abundant granitoid intrusions that formed in response to Paleozoic subduction (Lucassen et al., 2000; Ramos et al., 1986). In Northern Chile and Northwestern Argentina this Paleozoic metamorphic-magmatic basement is largely homogeneous and felsic in composition, consistent with the thick, weak, and felsic properties of the crust beneath the CVZ (Beck et al., 1996; Fig. A.1). Neodymium model ages of exposed Paleozoic metamorphic-magmatic basement and sediments suggest a uniform Proterozoic protolith, itself derived from intrusions and sedimentary rock (Lucassen et al., 2001). AFC Model Parameters Pervasive assimilation of continental crust in the Central Andean ignimbrite magmas is well established (Hildreth and Moorbath, 1988; Klerkx et al., 1977; Fig. A.1) and has been verified by detailed analysis of radiogenic isotopes (e.g. 87Sr/86Sr and 143Nd/144Nd) on specific systems within the CVZ (Kay et al., 2011; Lindsay et al., 2001; Schmitt et al., 2001; Soler et al., 2007). Isotopic results indicate that the CVZ magmas are the result of mixing between a crustal endmember, mainly gneisses and plutonics that have a characteristic crustal signature of high 87Sr/86Sr and low 145Nd/144Nd, and the asthenospheric mantle (low 87Sr/86Sr and high 145Nd/144Nd; Fig. 2). In Figure 2, we model the amount of crustal assimilation required to produce the CVZ magmas that are targeted in this study.

INTRODUCTION The superficial crustal seismic activity in Chile is remarkably moderate. Almost all the Chilean earthquakes are located on the subduction plane, and most of the intracontinental seismicity that results from the growth of the Cordillera occurs on the Eastern side of the Andes, in Bolivia and Argentina. Geological data, indeed, in agreement with the seismological measurements, show that the Chilean forearc suffered very moderate deformations in the Neogene [e.g. Lamb et al., 1997; García et al., 1997], in spite most of the surrection of the Altiplano probably occurred at that time [e.g. Gregory-Wodzicki, 2000]. The only region in Chile where significant crustal seismicity has been reported in the forearc is the northernmost part of the country, near Arica, where a permanent seismic network evidences an intracontinental forearc seismicity that vanishes south of 19.7°S. In this work, we describe the main characteristics of this seismicity, the associated

We present the results of pollen analysis performed on an ice core recovered from Nevado Sajama, Bolivia, dated to 25 ka BP. Low pollen concentrations from 25 to 15 ka BP are consistent with the scenario of an expanded ice cap surrounded by sparse vegetation and cold conditions on the Altiplano during the Last Glacial Maximum.

Light sediment laminae accumulated during short- term extraordinary diatom blooms whereas dark sediment laminae represent the baseline limnological conditions during several years of deposition. Diatom oxygen isotope data 18 (δ Odiatom) analyzed in 40 succesive (lamina by lamina) dark laminae, from 11,990 to 11,450 cal years BP, suggest that there occurred a series of decadal-to-centennial dry–wet oscillations. Dry periods are marked by relatively high isotope values whereas wet episodes are indicated by lower values.

A total of 344 specific and subspecific names are alphabetically recorded, for their original binomina or trinomina, and spellings. Later combinations and synonyms are mentioned, as well as the informa- tion of all the labels associated to the specimens. In order to assist future research, three further lists are added: 1. specimens deemed to be deposited at MACN but not found in the collection; 2. specimens labeled as types of species which descriptions have probably never been published (non available names); and 3. specimens of dubi- ous type status, because the information on the labels does not agree with that of the original publication. Key words: Type specimens, Curculionoidea, Coleoptera, Insecta. Resumen: Catálogo de los tipos de Curculionoidea (Insecta, Coleoptera) depositados en el Museo Argentino de Ciencias Naturales “Bernardino Rivadavia”, Buenos Aires.

  • GRID-Arendal Annual Report 2018
    29 and counting GRID-Arendal Annual Report 2018 Established in 1989 as a non-profit foundation under Norwegian law, GRID-Arendal’s mission is to create environmental knowledge that encourages positive change. We do this by organising and transforming available environmental data into credible, science-based information products, delivered through innovative communication tools and capacity building services targeting relevant stakeholders. GRID-Arendal works closely with United Nations Environment, other UN agencies and partners around the world to connect science to policy. Our goal is to shorten the distance between the emergence of new science and policy actions. We seek to influence thinking and action at the level of the global community on issues that require collective efforts because many problems cannot be solved at the national level alone. Acknowledgements GRID-Arendal would like to acknowledge the support of the Government of Norway and its other funders, partners and supporters.
