GEOLOGY AS a WAY of TURISM PROMOTION.Pdf ENERGY AND MINES SECTOR TheSPECIAL of the Month GEOLOGICAL, MINING AND METALLURGICAL INSTITUTE Since 2006, the Geological, Mining and Metallurgical Institute - INGEMMET has the "Heritage and Geotourism" project. It promotes the conservation and enhancement of different areas across the country with a high geological value. 1 TOURIST ATTRACTIONS PROMOTED Paracas National Reserve BY INGEMMET It is located 250 kilometers south of Lima, Ica Marcahuasi Region.

The geodiversity consists of highest geological park, and second largest in plateaus in sedimentary rocks, which highlight the world. Also, there are stony volcanic stone towers that reach 50 meters in height, landscapes, calcareous rocks with fossils, caves and geological structures.

It has incredible geological landscapes made up of 120 geosites identified by INGEMMET, such as: Colca Canyon, more than 30 monogenetic volcanoes (very small cones that erupted only PUBLICATIONS once), the resurgent aquifer from which the Mamacocha lagoon is born, Mismi snowy HERITAGE volcano (origin of the Amazon river), stratovolcanoes such as Hualca Hualca, AND GEOTOURISM Ampato and Sabancaya, thermal springs, waterfalls, areas with fossils, active geological faults, among others. Since 2006, INGEMMET has carried out ten publications related to heritage and geotourism: As a result of these two projects, there are 11 proposed routes in the valley of the volcanoes, while in Colca there are 13 routes. Geotouristic guides: Marcahuasi Plateau (2007), Paracas National Reserve (2009), Huayllay In both cases, geological aspects, biodiversity National Sanctuary (2011), Andagua Volcanic Field (2016); Tinajani Canyon (2018). and culture, objectives of the geoparks, are integrated. As a result of these INGEMMET projects, the greatest achievement has been Geodiversity and Geological Heritage in Colca Valley Bulletin (2019). obtained, because both technical-scientific studies contributed to the recognition of the Bulletins on studies in archaeological zones: Geology in the Conservation of Machu Picchu "Colca and Volcanoes of Andagua Geopark" (2011); Choquequirao Geology (2011); Geology of the Sacred City of Caral (2011), Geology in 2019 as the first Unesco Global Geopark in and Geodynamics in the Qhapaq Ñan - Huarautambo-Huanucopampa-Pomachaca sector Peru. (2020). Three other publications on geological heritage that will be available the following months are: Puno Region (132 geosites), San Fernando National Reserve (38 geosites) and the Nor Yauyos Cochas Landscape Reserve (56 geosites). INGEMMET is currently evaluating the “Three Canyons – Suyckutambo” area; this year the goal is to work with the population in the elaboration of georoutes from the 43 geosites already inventoried in 2019. Besides, it is expected to finalize the virtual database of the inventory of geosites at the national level and to generate virtual georoutes of the different places evaluated by the specialists. Similarly, INGEMMET, within the framework of its functions, has been providing advice on Twin Volcanoes – Arequipa Syncline and waterfalls evaluations of geotouristic resources and geoparks.

  • Tracing a Major Crustal Domain Boundary Based on the Geochemistry of Minor Volcanic Centres in Southern Peru
    7th International Symposium on Andean Geodynamics (ISAG 2008, Nice), Extended Abstracts: 298-301 Tracing a major crustal domain boundary based on the geochemistry of minor volcanic centres in southern Peru Mirian Mamani1, Gerhard Wörner2, & Jean-Claude Thouret3 1 Georg-August University, Goldschmidstr. 1, 37077 Göttingen, Germany ([email protected], [email protected]) 2 Université Blaise Pascal, Clermont Ferrand, France ([email protected]) KEYWORDS : minor volcanic centres, crust, tectonic erosion, Central Andes, isotopes Introduction Geochemical studies of Tertiary to Recent magmatism in the Central Volcanic Zone have mainly focused on large stratovolcanoes. This is because mafic minor volcanic centres and related flows that formed during a single eruption are relatively rare and occur in locally clusters (e.g. Andagua/Humbo fields in S. Peru, Delacour et al., 2007; Negrillar field in N. Chile, Deruelle 1982) or in the back arc region (Davidson and de Silva, 1992). These studies showed that the "monogenetic" lavas are high-K calc-alkaline and their major, trace, and rare elements, as well as Sr-, Nd- and Pb- isotopes data display a range comparable to those of the Central Volcanic Zone composite volcanoes (Delacour et al., 2007). It has been argued that the eruptive products of these minor centers bypass the large magma chamber systems below Andean stratovolcanoes and thus may represent magmas that were derived from a deeper level in the crust (Davidson and de Silva, 1992; Ruprecht and Wörner, 2007). This study represents a continuation of our work to understand the regional variation in erupted magma composition in the Central Andes (Mamani et al., 2008; Wörner et al., 1992).

Av. Dolores (Urb. Las Begonias B-3), J.L. Bustamante y Rivero, Arequipa, Perú INTRODUCCIÓN El Complejo Volcánico Ampato-Sabancaya (CVAS) está localizado a 60 km al NO de la ciudad de Arequipa (Fig. 1), fue construido durante el Pleistoceno sobre los remanentes de un complejo volcánico más antiguo, el Hualca Hualca (6025 msnm) ubicado al norte, entre el CVAS y valle del río Colca. Este grupo volcánico está cubierto por un importante casquete glaciar, que según Alcalá (2007) cubriría una superficie total (para los tres edificios volcánicos, Sabancaya, Ampato y Hualca Hualca) de 13.7 km2 y tendría un volumen de 1.7 m3 (Fig. 2). El Sabancaya (5980 msnm) constituye la parte joven y activa del complejo volcánico, mientras que el Ampato (6280 msnm) es un estratovolcán compuesto que constituye la parte más antigua del complejo, construida durante el Pleistoceno superior. El Sabancaya es uno de los 7 volcanes activos del arco peruano (Siebert et al., 2010), cuyo último episodio eruptivo ocurrió entre 1988 y 1997 (Gerbe y Thouret, 2004). Dentro del marco del convenio de cooperación existente entre el INGEMMET y el Instituto Francés de Investigación para el Desarrollo (IRD), se está realizando un estudio integral de este complejo volcánico que incluye la evolución geológica y petrológica del complejo (Rivera et al., 2012), así como la evaluación de los peligros volcánicos (Mariño et al., 2012).

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.

They allowed a first evaluation of the potentialities of INSAR imaging in the northern, central and southern volcanic zones (respectively NVZ, CVZ and SVZ) as weil as the first quantitative satellite measurements of volcanic unrest since the initial launch of ERS-l satellite (1992) to nowdays.
