Congratulations to these four mountain scientists, and to all others in our community who have been recognized this past year. Mountain-science events also played prominently in our summer and fall calendars. Among these was the Global Fair and Workshop on Long-Term Observatories on Mountain Social- Ecological Systems, sponsored by the Mountain Research Initiative (MRI) and University of Nevada at Reno, where the conference was held. This event brought together an international group of scientists that focused on the current state and future needs of mountain observatories. A key function of the Fair and Workshop was not only to communicate current research results but to engage and catalyze effective ongoing discussion (page Connie rings in the herd after a break during MtnClim 2014. 21).

    Economic Geology Vol. 95, 2000, pp. 1445–1472 Porphyry Gold Deposits of the Refugio District, Maricunga Belt, Northern Chile JOHN L. MUNTEAN†,* AND MARCO T. EINAUDI Department of Geological and Environmental Sciences, Stanford University, Stanford, California 94305-2115 Abstract The porphyry gold deposits of the Refugio district and similar deposits in the Maricunga belt contain the lowest known copper to gold ratios (% Cu/ppm Au = ~0.03) of any porphyry-type deposit. The gold deposits are associated with subvolcanic andesitic to dacitic intrusions emplaced into coeval volcanic rocks. Both the Verde and Pancho deposits are zoned in space from a deeper zone of banded quartz veinlets associated with chlorite-magnetite-albite and/or pyrite-albite-clay alteration to a shallow zone of pyrite-albite-clay and local quartz-alunite ledges. Pancho contains an additional, deepest, porphyry copperlike zone, with quartz veinlets (A-veinlets) and potassic alteration. Relative to Verde, Pancho is telescoped, with all three zones present within a 400-m-vertical interval. The porphyry copperlike zone at Pancho is characterized by A-veinlets and pervasive potassic alteration, both restricted to intrusive rocks. A-veinlets range from hairline streaks of magnetite ± biotite with minor quartz and chalcopyrite, and K feldspar alteration envelopes to sugary quartz veinlets <1 cm in width with mag- netite and chalcopyrite and no alteration envelopes. Hypersaline liquid inclusions coexisting with vapor-rich in- clusions indicate temperatures above 600°C and salinities as high as 84 wt percent NaCl equiv. A pressure es- timate of 250 bars indicates a depth of 1,000 m, assuming lithostatic pressure.

    1 TRANS-SIERRA RANGES GUIDE NO. 1.6 WHITE MOUNTAIN PEAK 14246 FEET CLASS 1 MILEAGE: 275 miles of paved road, 16 miles of excellent dirt road DRIVE: From US Highway 395 at Big Pine, CA. turn right (E) on paved State Route 168. At a fork in 2.2 miles bear left (right will put you on the Waucoba-Saline Valley Road) and drive 10.8 miles to the paved, signed White Mountain Road. Turn left (N) and drive 10.3 miles to the end of pavement at the signed Schulman Grove. Continuing N on the excellent dirt road and following signs toward Patriarch Grove, drive 16 miles to a locked gate at 11680 feet elevation, passing the turnoff for Patriarch Grove approximately 12 miles from the end of pavement. Park. CLIMB: Hike up the road past the locked gate for 2 miles to the University of California's Barcroft Laboratory at 12,400 feet elevation. From the laboratory, continue following the road N for 0.5 miles as it climbs more steeply now to a flat spot at approximately the 12,800 foot level near an astronomical observatory. From this vantage point White Mountain can be clearly seen as the prominent red and black colored peak to the north, 5 miles distant via the road. Continue hiking the road N as it drops slightly to an expansive plateau and then gently rises to a spot just W of point 13189. Here, follow the road as it turns W and drops sharply some 250 feet to a saddle before continuing its long switchbacking path to the summit.

  • Geology of the Caspiche Porphyry Gold-Copper Deposit, Maricunga Belt, Northern Chile*
    ©2013 Society of Economic Geologists, Inc. Economic Geology, v. 108, pp. 585–604 Geology of the Caspiche Porphyry Gold-Copper Deposit, Maricunga Belt, Northern Chile* RICHARD H. SILLITOE,1,† JUSTIN TOLMAN,2,** AND GLEN VAN KERKVOORT3,*** 1 27 West Hill Park, Highgate Village, London N6 6ND, England 2 Exeter Resource Corporation, Suite 1660 - 999 W. Hastings St., Vancouver, BC V6C 2W2, Canada 3 Exeter Resource Corporation, Suite 701, 121 Walker St., North Sydney, NSW 2060, Australia Abstract The Caspiche porphyry gold-copper deposit, part of the Maricunga gold-silver-copper belt of northern Chile, was discovered in 2007 beneath postmineral cover by the third company to explore the property over a 21-year period. This company, Exeter Resource Corporation, has announced a proven and probable mineral reserve of 1,091 million tonnes (Mt) averaging 0.55 g/t Au, all but 124 Mt of which also contain 0.23% Cu, for a total of 19.3 Moz of contained gold and 2.1 Mt of copper. The deposit was formed in the latest Oligocene (~25 Ma) during the first of two volcanic and corre- sponding metallogenic epochs that define the Maricunga belt. The gold-copper mineralization is centered on a composite diorite to quartz diorite porphyry stock, within which five outward-younging phases are rou- tinely distinguished. The centrally located, early diorite porphyry (phase 1) hosts the highest-grade ore, av- eraging ~1 g/t Au and 0.4% Cu. The subsequent porphyry phases are quartz dioritic in composition and char- acterized by progressively lower gold and copper tenors. Stock emplacement was both pre- and postdated by the generation of large-volume, andesite-dominated breccias, with tuffaceous matrices, which are be- lieved to be shallow portions of diatremes.

Larvae, pupae, pupal exuviae, and nymphs of insects were obtained from samples collected by a plankton net monthly during a 1-year period in 2008 and 2009 at seven different sites of the Dicle (Tigris) River Basin. A total of 35 taxa from the orders Trichoptera (1 taxon), Ephemeroptera (3 taxa), and Diptera (31 taxa) were identified. Chironomidae (Diptera) was the most diverse group and was represented by three major subfamilies, namely Tanypodinae (2 taxa), Orthocladiinae (19 taxa), and Chironominae (7 taxa). Among these species, Nanocladius (Nanocladius) spiniplenus Saether, 1977 is a new record for Turkey as well as for western Asia. In addition, the Psychomyia larvae found for the first time in the Dicle (Tigris) River Basin (Turkey) were described. Both taxa have been illustrated to warrant validation. Taxa number varied spatially from 6 to 14 and temporally from 2 to 12 during the sampling period. Along the river, Cricotopus bicinctus and Orthocladius (S.) holsatus were the most common taxa. Key words: Diptera, Ephemeroptera, Trichoptera, Insecta, Dicle (Tigris) River 1.

Keywords Finland, Chironomidae, species list, biodiversity, faunistics Introduction There are supposedly at least 15 000 species of chironomid midges in the world (Armitage et al. 1995, but see Pape et al. 2011) making it the largest family among the aquatic insects. The European chironomid fauna consists of 1262 species (Sæther and Spies 2013). In Finland, 780 species can be found, of which 37 are still undescribed (Paasivirta 2012). The species checklist written by B. Lindeberg on 23.10.1979 (Hackman 1980) included 409 chironomid species. Twenty of those species have been removed from the checklist due to various reasons. The total number of species increased in the 1980s to 570, mainly due to the identification work by me and J. Tuiskunen (Bergman and Jansson 1983, Tuiskunen and Lindeberg 1986).

BOESEL Zoology Department, Miami University, Oxford, Ohio 45056 ABSTRACT The larva of Ablabesmyia annulata is remarkably similar to Malloch's Tanypus sp. A, briefly described in 1915. It differs from other American species in the following char- acteristics: 3 inner teeth of lingua truncate, all claws of posterior prolegs yellow, and both anterior and posterior prolegs apically and densely armed with spinules. In the pupa, the respiratory organ is smooth and ovate, lacking a terminal papilla. The respir- tory opening is distinctly preapical. The species is widely distributed in Ohio. INTRODUCTION This study was initiated when larvae bearing a similarity to Tanypus sp. A of Malloch (1915) were collected by Randy Kingsley near Oxford. One of these larvae was carried to adulthood and found to be Ablabesmyia annulata (Say). The species was also reared 12 times previously at Put-in-Bay, Ohio. At the time when the Put-in-Bay material was collected, there was still some confusion about the identity of A. annulata and A. monilis. Ablabesmyia monilis was described by Linnaeus in 1758 (as Tipula monilis) from the Old World, but has been widely reported from the Nearctic region. The first American species of the genus as now constituted was A. annulata, described by Say (1823) (as Tanypus annulatus) from Pennsylvania. Johannscn, in his monographic work in 1905, regarded T. annulatus as a synonym of A. monilis. Malloch (1915) likewise did not distinguish between the two species.
