E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT We present a new model to explain the origin, emplacement and stratigraphy of the Nicoya Complex in the NW part of the Nicoya Peninsula (Costa Rica) based on twenty-five years of field work, accompanied with the evo- lution of geochemical, vulcanological, petrological, sedimentological and paleontological paradigms. The igneous-sedimentary relation, together with radiolarian biochronology of the NW-Nicoya Peninsula is re-exa- mined. We interpret the Nicoya Complex as a cross-section of a fragment of the Late Cretaceous Caribbean Plateau, in which the deepest levels are exposed in the NW-Nicoya Peninsula.

  • Costa Rica Developers to Create a Mobile Application for a Cause at Sixth Annual Fiserv Programathon
    Costa Rica Developers to Create a Mobile Application for a Cause at Sixth Annual Fiserv Programathon October 18, 2019 Annual event promotes ingenuity while helping the local community HEREDIA, Costa Rica and BROOKFIELD, Wis., October 18, 2019 – Fiserv, Inc. (NASDAQ: FISV), a leading global provider of financial services technology solutions with operations in Costa Rica since 2004, will bring together local developers to create technology for a cause during its sixth annual Programathon®. The event, which takes place October 26-27, is expected to include over 100 developers who will compete to develop a mobile app to benefit the nonprofit Fundación DEHVI. Fundación DEHVI serves 528 children through six childcare centers in the Pavas, Alajuelita, Desamparados and Hatillo communities of Costa Rica. The organization provides food and care while also promoting the improvement of communication, fine motor and gross motor skills, structured problem solving and children's individual-social capacity. Developers participating in Programathon will be tasked with creating a mobile app to help Fundación DEHVI staff detect and identify opportunities to apply appropriate strategies and enhance the growth of children who are below their ideal cognitive development level. “Programathon is the perfect example of innovation with a purpose,” said Adriana Alfaro, director of Fundación DEHVI. “We appreciate the support Fiserv associates provide to the Costa Rican community by hosting this event, and look forward to being able to apply the capabilities developed during Programathon to benefit the children we serve.” During Programathon, each team will be responsible for developing a mobile application based on technical requirements prepared by Fiserv and Fundación DEHVI.

The Department of History of Indiana University provided me with financial support and graduate appointments from the start of my studies in Bloomington. The pre-dissertation grant and research fellowship from the Office of International Programs and the University Graduate School of Indiana University respectively helped me to define my project and to begin the research. The Indiana University Bloomington Library staff and the History Department Staff in IU Bloomington were of greatest help. History Department Graduate Secretary Alexia Bock assisted in many ways and gave me crucial practical advice during my stay in Bloomington. The Center for Latin American Studies of the University of Pittsburgh's University Center for International Studies generously opened its doors to me in the summer of 2005.

  • Deep Sea Drilling Project Initial Reports Volume 84
    37. A TECTONIC CROSS-SECTION OF THE COSTA RICAN PACIFIC LITTORAL AS A KEY TO THE STRUCTURE OF THE LANDWARD SLOPE OF THE MIDDLE AMERICA TRENCH OFF GUATEMALA1 Jacques Azema, Jacques Bourgois, Peter O. Baumgartner, Jean Tournon, Alain Desmet, and Jean Aubouin2 ABSTRACT Pre-upper Senonian basement of Costa Rica crops out in the Santa Elena and Nicoya peninsulas. From south to north and from base to top the basement includes the Esperanza, Matapalo, and Santa Elena units. The Esperanza unit is Albian-Santonian in age and consists mainly of pillow basalt and massive basalt flows. The Matapalo unit includes Callovian-Cenomanian radiolarite and exhibits a massive basalt flow, pillow basalt, and dolerite basement. The Santa Elena unit contains ultramafic and mafic rocks in which harzburgite is the major component. The most important tec- tonic features of the Nicoya Complex are the large Santa Elena and Matapalo nappes. Nappe emplacement was from north to south during late Santonian time. The sedimentary cover of the Nicoya Complex comprises (1) the Campanian El Viejo Formation, which consists of shallow-water sediments to the north on Santa Elena Peninsula and the Campa- nian-Maestrichtian Sabana Grande Formation of deep-water origin to the south on Nicoya Peninsula; (2) Paleocene sediments, which indicate deposition in a deep-water environment and which comprise the Rivas, Las Palmas, and Samara formations; and (3) post-upper Eocene(?) sediments, which consist of the shallow-water Barra Honda and Montezuma formations. Two unconformities are the major geologic features of the upper Senonian-Tertiary sequence of Costa Rica. The lower one is at the base of the Sabana Grande Formation and marks a major change in the geologic conditions (basalt is scarce in the Campanian-Tertiary series); the upper unconformity at the base of the Barra Honda and Montezuma formations is not as pronounced as the lower one.
