    CONTRIBUCIÓN AL CONOCIMIENTO DE LA ZONA DEL OJOS DEL SALADO (CATAMARCA) A ntecedentes Si consultamos el trabajo de Pedro O. Sánchez 1 los primeros que ievantaron mapas de la zona fueron Alcides D ’Orbigny (1 8 2 6 -3 3 ) ; José Ballivián, mandado por Bolivia (1843) ; Hoogsgaard, por el Perú (1873- 74) ; Amado Pissis, encargado por Chile de estudiar el relieve de la Repú­ blica desde 1848, quien luego trabajó con Mariano Mugía, boliviano. En 1883, dice Sánchez, Chile mandó levantar una carta a Francisco San R o­ mán, Santiago Muñoz, Alejandro Chadwick y Abelardo Pizarro, comisión que trabajó con exactitud y sembró la Puna de sugestivos nombres en ho­ menaje a los científicos que la visitaron: cordilleras D ’Orbigny, Claudio Gay, Domeyko, sierras Gorbea, Barros Arana, monte Pissis, altiplanicie F*hilippi, etc. Alejandro Bertrand, casi en la misma época, se dedicó a la Puna y a sus altas cumbres y publicó Memoria sobre el desierto de A ta- cama y sus regiones limítrofes (1 8 8 4 ). Para su trabajo se valió de cartas anteriores, especialmente las de San Román, Hugo Reck, boliviano, ( 1860- 1863) y la de Brackebusch, mandado por Argentina. El Tnte. de Navio Vicente Montes 1 2 fue encargado por el perito argentino, en el pleito de límites con Chile, de estudiar la región montañosa entre los paralelos 26 y 28 a fin de determinar con precisión qué se debía considerar como cordillera de Los Andes El 29 de abril de 1892 3 con­ vinieron los peritos en que una comisión mixta iniciaría la demarcación desde el Portezuelo de San Francisco hacia el sur, integrada por Julio Díaz, Luis Dellepiane, Fernando Dousset (Argentina) y Alejandro Bertrand, Aníbal Contreras y Alvaro Donoso (C hile).

The first satellite-derived inventory of glaciers and rock glaciers in Chile, created from Landsat TM/ETM+ images spanning between 2000 and 2003 using a semi-automated procedure, is pre- sented in a single standardized format. Large glacierized areas in the Altiplano, Palena Province and the periphery of the Patagonian icefields are inventoried. The Chilean glacierized area is 23 708 ± 1185 km2, including ∼3200 km2 of both debris-covered glaciers and rock glaciers.

    PAGE 2 VOLCANIC SUMMITS OF CHILE Introduction There are plenty of people who want to climb the world’s highest mountain, so separate yourself out from the crowd and aim for the world’s highest volcanoes instead. The magnificent peak of Ojos Del Salado is the highest volcano in the world and one of the iconic Volcanic Seven Summits – highest volcanos on seven continents. This one-off adventure holiday offers the opportunity to stand not only on Ojos Del Salado (6893m) but also on Llullaillaco (6723m) the world’s second highest active volcano. In true KE style this adventure holiday is not only about climbing peaks, it’s also about the amazing mountaineering journey through spectacular Chilean scenery. Home to star filled dark skies and breath-taking views, the Nevado de Tres Cruces National Park is where we will spot flamingos on the lakes of Negro Francisco and Maricunga. We start in Copiapo, with its leafy plaza and historic buildings. Nestled in a narrow valley, and close to the airport, the town of Copiapo is a great location to kick-start the holiday. Is this holiday for you? On this superb Pioneer climbing holiday in Chile you will encounter a great variety of trekking conditions from easy acclimatisation trails to lush lagoons to challenging terrain across glaciers and volcanic lava fields to reach our two objectives; Ojos del Salado and Llullaillaco the world’s two highest volcanic peaks. For much of our trekking we are supported by 4WD however, our final stages of ascent to both Ojos del Salado and Llullaillaco require us to carry our equipment and work as a team to reach our goal so a high level of fitness is essential.

  • Metal(Loid)S Distribution in Northern Atacama Region
    Metal(loid)s distribution in northern Atacama Region METAL(LOID)S DISTRIBUTION IN NORTHERN ATACAMA REGION HYDROLOGICAL BASINS Tapia, J. 1, Verdejo, F. 2 1Departamento de Ingeniería en Minas, Universidad de Antofagasta, Chile 2Departamento de Geología, Universidad Católica del Norte, Chile Introduction The Atacama desert corresponds to the driest desert on Earth and is located in the Atacama Region, northern Chile (). The El Salado River is the only water system that drains into the Pacific Ocean in northern Atacama Region, and is one of the most susceptible water systems in this area. Indeed, two highly sensitive ecosystems are present close to this river, the Nevado Tres Cruces in the Andes, and the Pan de Azúcar , on the coast (Earle et al., 2003; Thompson et al., 2003; ). Northern Atacama Region has been historically affected by mining activities because of the richness of ores in the Andes mountains. In fact, during the early 1900s this area was affected by the Potrerillos mining operations, and afterwards, by the El Salvador mining operations, a porphyry copper deposit (Gustafson and Hunt, 1975). Between 1938 and 1975 mine wastes from the El Salvador operations were dumped into El Salado River, and therefore into the Chañaral Bay () without any treatment (Paskoff and Petiot, 1990). In this work a preliminary survey of the concentration of 8 metal(loid)s in waters of El Salado River are presented and compared to international water recommendation values and regulations. Study area Geology and ore deposits The current geology in this area is controlled by the Central Volcanic Zone (CVZ) in which <60 Ma Nazca plate lithosphere is subducting bellow Southamerican plate at 7-9 cm·year -1, in this zone continental crust is ≥ 70 km thick and basement ages range from Late Pre-Cambrian to Paleozoic (Stern, 2004).

  • Average Pleistocene Climatic Patterns in the Southern Central Andes: Controls on Mountain Glaciation and Paleoclimate Implications
    Average Pleistocene Climatic Patterns in the Southern Central Andes: Controls on Mountain Glaciation and Paleoclimate Implications Kirk Haselton, George Hilley, and Manfred R. Strecker1 Institut fu¨ r Geowissenschaften, Universita¨ t Potsdam, Postfach 60 15 53, D-14415 Potsdam, Germany ABSTRACT Despite elevations of 5000–6800 m, modern glaciers occur along the southern Puna Plateau and the northern Sierras Pampeanas in the southern central Andes. The modern snowline rises from 5100 m in Sierra Aconquija to 5800 m in the Puna as a result of a westward decrease in precipitation from 450 to less than 100 mm/yr. During the Pleistocene these arid highlands experienced multiple cirque and valley glaciation that likely postdate the last interglacial period, although lack of age control prevents an absolute chronology. Glaciation in the Puna and along the eastern Puna edge produced a 300-m Pleistocene snowline (PSL) depression, while in the Sierras Pampeanas the PSL depression was at least 900 m. The greater PSL depression in the Sierras Pampeanas is best explained by a combination of cooling and increase of easterly moisture, whereas the PSL depression in the Puna appears more sensitive to moisture increases than temperature. Previously, glaciations in this region have been explained by increased precipitation, with a west- ward depression of the snowline caused by a northward shift of the Pacific anticyclone and equatorward shift of the westerlies. However, these PSL results require an increase of moisture from the east rather than from the west. Further, analysis of topographic data indicates that drainage-basin relief decreases north of 28ЊS. The regional landscape response suggests that the circulation patterns currently observed have persisted at least during the Pleistocene and perhaps during the past several million years.

  • The Evolution of Hydrothermal Fluids from the Deep Porphyry
    THE EVOLUTION OF HYDROTHERMAL FLUIDS FROM THE DEEP PORPHYRY ENVIRONMENT TO THE SHALLOW EPITHERMAL ENVIRONMENT by Subaru Tsuruoka Copyright by Subaru Tsuruoka 2017 All Rights Reserved A thesis submitted to the Faculty and the Board of Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Geology). Golden, Colorado Date Signed: Subaru Tsuruoka Signed: Dr. Thomas Monecke Thesis Advisor Golden, Colorado Date Signed: Dr. M. Stephen Enders Research Professor and Interim Department Head of Geology and Geological Engineering ii ABSTRACT The current understanding of magmatic-hydrothermal processes resulting in the formation of porphyry and epithermal deposits is based on case studies that focused on deposits such as Santa Rita porphyry copper deposit in New Mexico, the Refugio porphyry gold deposit in Chile, and the Summitville high-sulfidation epithermal deposit in Colorado. The present study re-examines these classical study sites to constrain the physical nature of the mineralizing hydrothermal fluids and to test recent models suggesting that metal transport can occur in the vapor phase. Careful petrographic investigations involving a combination of microanalytical techniques were performed to unravel paragenetic relationships in the three deposits. Based on fluid inclusion research on quartz closely associated with mineralization, it is shown that ore formation at Santa Rita occurred from a near-critical single-phase hydrothermal fluid under hydrostatic conditions. Observed fluid inclusion assemblages have salinities of ~11 wt% NaCl equiv. and homogenize at ~350–450°C. At Refugio, gold mineralization postdated the formation of banded quartz veins and appears to also have formed from a near-critical single-phase fluid at hydrostatic load.
