Along the way, take in the postcard worthy views of the volcanoes, lakes, and valleys that comprise Ecuador’s Northern Sierra. This region is home to more than six volcanoes, the most prominent of them being Cayambe (18,996 ft), Cotacachi (16,220 ft), and Imbabura (15,121 ft). These forces of nature make great landscape for lakes big and small to form in their craters, and thus the region is named as such. Quito, colonial city and UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1978 named so for its colonial architecture. The city´s namesake was the Quitus tribe who lived in the area before Inca rule. Later, the Spanish founded the city of Quito in 1534.

Manuscript Details Manuscript number JQSR_2019_21 Title MULTIPLE SOURCES FOR TEPHRA FROM AD 1259 VOLCANIC SIGNAL IN ANTARCTIC ICE CORES Abstract Strong volcanic signals simultaneously recorded in polar ice sheets are commonly assigned to major low-latitude eruptions that dispersed large quantities of aerosols in the global atmosphere with the potential of inducing climate perturbations. Parent eruptions responsible for specific events are typically deduced from matching to a known volcanic eruption having coincidental date. However, more robust source linkage can be achieved only through geochemical characterisation of the airborne volcanic glass products (tephra) sometimes preserved in the polar strata.

  • View the Enlightenment As a Catalyst for Beneficial Change in the Region
    UNA REVOLUCION, NI MAS NI MENOS: THE ROLE OF THE ENLIGHTENMENT IN THE SUPREME JUNTAS IN QUITO, 1765-1822 Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Beau James Brammer, B.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2010 Master’s Examination Committee: Kenneth Andrien, Adviser Stephanie Smith Alan Gallay Copyright by Beau James Brammer 2010 Abstract This thesis examines the role the European Enlightenment played in the political sphere during the late colonial era in the Audiencia of Quito. Until the eighteenth century, Creole elites controlled the local economic and governmental sectors. With the ascension of the Bourbon dynasty in 1700, however, these elites of Iberian descent began to lose their power as new European ideas, emerging from the Enlightenment, led to a process of consolidating and centralizing power into the hands of Peninsular Spanish officials. Known as the Bourbon Reforms, these measures led to Creole disillusionment, as they began losing power at the local level. Beginning in the 1770s and 1780s, however, Enlightenment ideas of “nationalism” and “rationality” arrived in the Andean capital, making their way to the disgruntled Creoles. As the situation deteriorated, elites began to incorporate these new concepts into their rhetoric, presenting a possible response to the Reforms. When Napoleon invaded Spain in 1808, the Creoles expelled the Spanish government in Quito, creating an autonomous movement, the Junta of 1809, using these Enlightenment principles as their justification. I argue, however, that while these ‘modern’ principles gave the Creoles an outlet for their grievances, it is their inability to find a common ground on how their government should interpret these new ideas which ultimately lead to the Junta’s failure.

  • Water Chemistry of Lake Quilotoa (Ecuador) and Assessment of Natural Hazards
    Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research 97 (2000) 271–285 www.elsevier.nl/locate/volgeores Water chemistry of Lake Quilotoa (Ecuador) and assessment of natural hazards E. Aguileraa, G. Chiodinib, R. Cionic,*, M. Guidic, L. Marinid, B. Racoe aEscuela Politecnica del Ejercito, Sangolquı´, Apartado 231-D, Ecuador bOsservatorio Vesuviano, via Manzoni 249, 80122 Napoli, Italy cIst.

Scienze della Terra, Univ. di Pisa, Via Santa Maria 53, 56126 Pisa, Italy Abstract A geochemical survey carried out in November 1993 revealed that Lake Quilotoa was composed by a thin (,14 m) oxic epilimnion overlying a ,200 m-thick anoxic hypolimnion. Dissolved CO2 concentrations reached 1000 mg/kg in the lower stratum. Loss of CO2 from epilimnetic waters, followed by calcite precipitation and a consequent lowering in density, was the apparent cause of the stratification. The Cl, SO4 and HCO3 contents of Lake Quilotoa are intermediate between those of acid–SO4–Cl Crater lakes and those of neutral-HCO3 Crater lakes, indicating that Lake Quilotoa has a ‘memory’ of the inflow and absorption of HC1- and S-bearing volcanic (magmatic) gases. The Mg/Ca ratios of the lake waters are governed by dissolution of local volcanic rocks or magmas, but K/Na ratios were likely modified by precipitation of alunite, a typical mineral in acid–SO4–Cl Crater lakes. The constant concentrations of several conservative chemical species from lake surface to lake bottom suggest that physical, chemical and biological processes did not have enough time, after the last overturn, to cause significant changes in the contents of these chemical species.

    CONDUIT AND ERUPTION DYNAMICS OF THE 1912 VULCANIAN EXPLOSIONS AT NOVARUPTA, ALASKA A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN GEOLOGY AND GEOPHYSICS December 2017 By Samantha Jo Isgett Dissertation Committee: Bruce F. Houghton, Chairperson Helge M. Gonnermann Christina Neal Thomas Shea John Allen © 2017, Samantha Jo Isgett ii Acknowledgements I probably would not be “standing here today” if my advisor Bruce Houghton had not introduced me to the wonderful world of volcanology. I entered his 300 level volcanology class as a naïve sophomore who had no ambitions of going to graduate school and left knowing that I wanted to be volcanologist and the steps that I needed to take to get there. Bruce has a passion not only for solving the big science question, but also in passing on his knowledge and skill-sets to his students. I cannot thank Bruce enough for seeing in me the potential makings of a scientist and guiding me there. It was, and always will be, a privilege to work with you. I would like to thank my committee — Helge Gonnermann, Thomas Shea, Christina Neal, and John Allen — for pushing me to take every problem and interpretation just a little (or a lot) further. I am especially grateful to Tom and John for stepping in at the last hour. Thank you all for your time and patience. Alain Burgisser, Laurent Arbaret, and Sarah Fagents also brought outside perspectives and skill-sets that were crucial for this project.

  • Tyranny Or Victory! Simón Bolívar's South American Revolt
    ODUMUNC 2018 Issue Brief Tyranny or Victory! Simón Bolívar’s South American Revolt by Jackson Harris Old Dominion University Model United Nations Society of the committee, as well as research, all intricacies involved in the committee will be discussed in this outline. The following sections of this issue brief will contain a topical overview of the relevant history of Gran Colombia, Simón Bolívar, and Spanish-American colonial relations, as well as an explanation of the characters that delegates will be playing. This guide is not meant to provide a complete understanding of the history leading up to the committee, rather to provide a platform that will be supplemented by personal research. While there are a number of available online sources the Crisis Director has provided the information for a group of helpful books to use at the delegate’s discretion. The legacy of Simón Bolívar, the George Washington of South America, is anything but historical.
