  • Area Changes of Glaciers on Active Volcanoes in Latin America Between 1986 and 2015 Observed from Multi-Temporal Satellite Imagery

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.

  • Boron and Other Trace Element Constraints on the Slab-Derived Component in Quaternary Volcanic Rocks from the Southern Volcanic Zone of the Andes

The dataset shows con- straints on the nature of slab-derived component to mantle source. Analyzed samples show large negative Nb and Ta anomalies, and enrichment of alkaline earth elements and Pb, which are features of typical island arc volcanic rocks. Boron contents of SVZ volcanic rocks range 2.3–125.5 ppm, exhibiting marked enrichment relative to N-MORB and OIB. Both the boron contents and B/Nb ratios of the volcanic rocks increase from the southern SVZ (SSVZ) to central SVZ (CSVZ). Fluid mobile/immobile element ratios (B/Nb, Ba/Nb, Pb/Nb, and K/Nb) are used to examine slab-derived com- ponent to mantle source.

Macá and Cay are low-K, as are all other MEC cones further to the south in the low incompatible element abundance (LA) centers, while Mentolat has very low K, Rb and other incompatible SSVZ. This paper addresses these regional variations in element contents (VLA), similar to Huequi, Calbuco and magma types along and across the SSVZ arc. Nevados de Longaví further north. Such differences have been attributed to differences in degree of mantle partial melting due to variability in the extent of contamination of the mantle source region by hydrous fluids and/or melts derived from subducted oceanic lithosphere, possibly as a result in down-dip temperature changes at the top of the subducted slab.

Dressing the Leader, Dressing the Ancestor: The longue durée in the South Central Andes Ann H. Peters The preservation and adornment of the dead in the South Central Andes can be traced over some twelve thousand years. The nature of social and political ancestry and its relationship to power change over time with the development of large-scale complex societies. These changes are reflected in the types of garments used to dress the outside of mortuary bundles and their references to socio-political roles and associations. Archaeology has barely begun to develop the analytic approaches to take advantage of textile analysis in order to reconstruct – or theorize – multifaceted identities, networks of social and political relationships, and production and exchange practices embedded in particular environments.

Travel Advisory The current U.S. Department of State Travel Advisory at the date of this report’s publication assesses Chile at Level 2, indicating travelers should exercise increased caution due to civil unrest. The Department downgraded the Advisory Level from Level 1 due to the ongoing Chilean civil unrest that began in October 2019. The deteriorated security situation is likely to continue for the near future. Review OSAC’s report, Understanding the Consular Travel Advisory System. Overall Crime and Safety Situation The U.S. Department of State has assessed Santiago as being a HIGH-threat location for crime directed at or affecting official U.S. government interests. Crime Threats The security environment in Chile is moderately safe, with comparatively less violent crime than other Latin American countries. Pickpocketing, telephone scams, vehicle thefts, and residential break-ins are the most common crimes against tourists and resident foreigners. Violent crime also occurs, most often in the form of carjacking, home invasion, and mugging; express and traditional kidnapping and random shootings are almost non-existent. According to Carabineros statistics from December 2019, in the Eastern area of the Metropolitan Region, (the boroughs of Vitacura, Las Condes, Lo Barnechea, and La Reina, which are the commercial center of Santiago and higher-income neighborhoods), violent crimes (i.e.

Kay Department 01 Geological Sciences e INSTOC (Inslilute lor the Study 01 the Andrew Tittler Continents), Snee Hall, Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y. 14853, USA RESUMEN La Franja de Maricunga, de 200 km de largo, portadora de mineralización de metales preciosos, se extiende en el borde occidental del Altiplano de Copiapó (26-28'S) y representa el frente volcánico Oligoceno-Mioceno de la zona sur de los Andes Centrales. La actividad volcánica se organiza en cinco eventos. El más antiguo (26-21 Ma) dio origen al complejo de estratovolcanes de Cerros Bravos-Barros Negros, y a los grupos de domos múltiples asociados a mineralización de Esperanza y La Coipa (26"30'-27"S) que hicieron erupción a través de una corteza de -45 km de espesor. En la zona surde la franja (27-28"S) la actividad fue más reducida y asociada a pequeños complejos de domos múltiples, con mineralización de oro y plata (Pantanillo, Refugio y La Pepa) emplazados a través de una corteza más delgada (-35-40 km). El segundo episodio (20-17 Ma) se asocia a un evento de deformación compresiva, engrosamiento cortical y disminución de la actividad volcánica. Entre los 16 -12 Ma, el volcanismo se reanudó con vigor. Los magmas asociados a los centros más antiguos del ciclo (Ojos de Maricunga, Santa Rosa, Jotabeche Norte; 16-15 Ma) evolucionaron en niveles corticales profundos, en equilibrio con granate.
