Detection and understanding of historical changes in the frequency of geo-climatic hazards (G-CHs) is crucial for the quantification of current hazard and their future projection. Here we focus in the eastern subtropical Andes (32-33° S), using meteorological data and a century-long inventory on 553 G-CHs triggered by rainfall or snowfall. First we analysed their spatio-temporal distributions and the role of climate variability on the year-to-year changes in the number of days with 15 G-CHs. Precipitation is positively correlated with the number of G-CHs across the region and year-round; mean temperature is negatively correlated with snowfall-driven hazards in the western (higher) half of the study region during winter, and with rainfall-driven hazards in the eastern zone during summer. The trends of the G-CHs frequency since the mid-20th century were calculated taking cautions for their non-systematic monitoring. The G-CHs series for the different triggers, zones and seasons were generally stationary.

  • Darwin at Puente Del Inca: Observations on the Formation of the Inca's Bridge and Mountain Building
    170 Revista de la Asociación Geológica Argentina 64 (1): 170- 179 (2009) DARWIN AT PUENTE DEL INCA: OBSERVATIONS ON THE FORMATION OF THE INCA'S BRIDGE AND MOUNTAIN BUILDING Victor A. RAMOS Laboratorio de Tectónica Andina, FCEN, Universidad de Buenos Aires - CONICET. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The analyses of the observations of Charles Darwin at Puente del Inca, during his second journey across the High Andes drew attention on two different aspects of the geological characteristics of this classic area. Most of his descriptions on the characteristics and the origin of the natural bridge were not published, mainly due to his poor impression of Puente del Inca. However, the application of the uniformitarian principles shows that it was formed as an ice bridge associated with snow and debris avalanches later on cemented by the minerals precipitated by the adjacent hot-water springs. Darwin's observations on the complex structural section at Puente del Inca, together with his findings of shallow water marine fossil mollusks in the thick stratigraphic column of the area interfingered with volcanic rocks, led him to speculate on several geological processes. Based on his geological observations, Darwin argued on the mountain uplift, the subsidence of the marine bottom, the epi- sodic lateral growth of the cordillera, and their association with earthquakes and volcanic activity, which was an important advance in the uniformitarian hypothesis of mountain uplift proposed by Charles Lyell. Darwin was able to recognize the epi- sodic nature of mountain uplift, and based on these premises he concluded that the Andes were still undergoing uplift.

El área a mapear incluía al depósito denominado Drift Horcones, asignado posteriormente a un movimiento en masa de tipo complejo. Por ello se comenzó con la revisión del depósito del Drift Horcones, llegando a la conclusión a medida que avanzaba el estudio, que debía revisarse completamente la estratigrafía glaciaria de la cuenca. A partir de las investiga- ciones realizadas se presenta una nueva propuesta según la cual se concluye que de los seis depósitos de drift vinculados a morenas terminales descriptos para la cuenca del río Mendoza, solo uno de ellos es de origen glacial. El Drift Uspallata es un antiguo depósito pedemontano afuncional.

  • Here It Spent Nearly Four Months Until March 1834
    3 Portrait with signature gifted by Charles Darwin to the Academia Nacional de Ciencias in 1878 acknowledging his nomination as an Honorary Member. Photograph taken by Julia Margaret Cameron in 1868. Unpublished original copy kept in the Academia (see Depetris this volume) 4 Revista de la Asociación Geológica Argentina 64 (1): 4 - 7 (2009) DARWIN'S GEOLOGICAL RESEARCH IN ARGENTINA On the occasion of the 200th. anniversary of Charles Darwin´s birth, the Asocia- ción Geológica Argentina decided to prepare a special issue devoted to the geological research undertaken by Dar- win in Argentina. As it is well known, during his journeys on board HMS Bea- gle under the command of Captain Ro- bert FitzRoy, he had the opportunity to survey overland different areas of South America. Darwin spent nearly three years - between August 1832 and April 1835 - visiting and studying different regions of our country, as illustrated in figure 1. The aim of this special issue is to analy- ze his important geological observations and to emphasize the validity of many of his ideas under a 21st Century perspecti- ve. In order to accomplish this aim, seve- ral key localities that Darwin examined from a geological point of view during his voyage were selected. Such an analy- sis was carried out by several geologists and paleontologists well acquainted with the diverse problems that Darwin faced along his journeys in Argentina. HMS Beagle's main mission was to sur- vey the coasts of southern South Ame- rica, which it carried out during several journeys along the coast. The time nee- ded to chart the coast in details gave Darwin several opportunities to spend considerable time on land.
