Spatial@Ucsb.Local17 Poster Mexico City Land Cover Change from 1985 to 2016 Hilda Rocha and Andrew Cardinal University of California, Santa Barbara Geography 115C, Spring 2017, Professor Vena Chu Contact Information: [email protected] & [email protected] Introduction Figures 1 • Mexico City is the capital and the most populous city of Mexico . In 2005 its whole 1985 Classification 2000 Classification 2016 Classification metropolitan zone registered 19.2 million inhabitants2. The city has expanded over three different entities: the Federal District where it was founded originally, the State of Mexico (which now contains over 50% of the city’s population), and a portion of the State of Hidalgo that recently has been incorporated into the metropolitan zone2. As of 2016, the population of Mexico City is estimated to be 8.9 million1, while the entire metropolitan area’s is estimated to be 21.1 million1, making it the most populous metropolitan area in the Western Hemisphere1. It is located in the Valley of Mexico, at Tlalnepantla-Izcalli Tlalnepantla-Izcalli Tlalnepantla-Izcalli an altitude of 2,240 meters (7,350 feet) 1. We analyzed land cover trends over the last three decades within certain areas of the metropolitan area. • For our primary analysis, we focus on two specific sections of the greater metropolitan area which have experienced drastic growth during our study period. We are expanding upon the spatial and temporal extents of similar research that observed urbanization rates in Mexico City between 1973 and 20003. That research concluded that the urbanized area surrounding the southwest part of Mexico City has expanded at the rate of 36.29% during the 1980s3. Toluca Toluca Toluca • The government in Mexico City has implemented measures to limit urban growth and maintain natural resources in certain areas designated as Preservation Zones (Suelo de Conservacion, SC)2. The existence of the SC categorization dates to the beginning of the 1980s, when the Urban Development Plan for the Federal District developed a zoning that divided the territory into two main zones: urban and non-urban area2. However, growth continues in the SC areas despite regulations, due to a lack of effective planning norms and an increase in the living standards of the poor2. This analysis can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of those policies. Data and Methods • Images used for analysis were acquired during the winter months in the years of Dense Urban Light Urban Healthy Vegetation Sparse Vegetation Grasslands Barren Soils Water 1985, 1994, 2000, 2010 (Landsat 5 TM), and 2016 (Landsat 8 OLI). • Band display combinations of RGB 7-4-2, 7-5-3, and 3-2-1 (true color) were primarily used to select training sites. Toluca - Land Coverage Area 900 Tlalnepantla-Izcalli - Land Coverage Area 700 • Training site regions were chosen simultaneously, with all of the images linked; then 800 600 they were adjusted as necessary for each image to ensure accuracy. The images pictured above show land coverages in the greater Mexico 700 500 • A supervised maximum likelihood classification was utilized, and accuracy City Metropolitan Area with three of the five classification images 600 assessments were performed using training and assessment sites collected by produced (1994 and 2010 omitted).

  • Station and Train Surface Microbiomes of Mexico City's Metro
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Station and train surface microbiomes of Mexico City’s metro (subway/underground) Apolinar Misael Hernández1, Daniela Vargas-Robles1,2, Luis David Alcaraz3 & Mariana Peimbert 1 ✉ The metro is one of the more representative urban transportation systems of Mexico City, and it transports approximately 4.5 million commuters every day. Large crowds promote the exchange of microbes between humans. In this study, we determined the bacterial diversity profle of the Mexico City metro by massive sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene. We identifed a total of 50,174 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) and 1058 genera. The metro microbiome was dominated by the phylum Actinobacteria and by the genera Cutibacterium (15%) (C. acnes 13%), Corynebacterium (13%), Streptococcus (9%), and Staphylococcus (5%) (S. epidermidis; 4%), refecting the microbe composition of healthy human skin. The metro likely microbial sources were skin, dust, saliva, and vaginal, with no fecal contribution detected. A total of 420 bacterial genera were universal to the twelve metro lines tested, and those genera contributed to 99.10% of the abundance. The annual 1.6 billion ridership makes this public transport a main hub for microbe-host-environment interactions. Finally, this study shows that the microbial composition of the Mexico City metro comes from a mixture of environmental and human sources and that commuters are exposed to healthy composition of the human microbiota. Public transport systems provide the ideal environment for the transmission of microorganisms, as they carry a multitude of passengers, and their microbiomes, daily. Te metro can assemble an extensive repository of bene- fcial bacteria, such as commensals and symbionts, or harmful bacteria, becoming a vehicle for the transmission of infectious diseases.

GDP per capita in Mexico City – the country’s second richest region after Campeche, where natural resources significantly contribute to the economy – was more than five times higher than in Chiapas in 2016. Even when resource rich regions such as Campeche or Tabasco are excluded, regional economic disparities in Mexico remain larger than in any other OECD country. However, regional disparities in terms of GDP per capita have slightly decreased in Mexico over the last sixteen years, when the richest and poorest 20% of regions are taken into account. With a productivity growth of 4.4% per year over the period 2010-16, Aguascalientes had the highest productivity growth and strongly converged towards the productivity level of Mexico City, the national frontier in terms of labour productivity (excluding Campeche). Tlaxcala recorded the lowest productivity growth of the country with -1% per year between 2010 and 2016 (excluding Campeche and Tabasco due to fluctuation of natural resource prices).

  • Geology of Nevado De Toluca Volcano and Surrounding Areas, Central Mexico
    mch089 1 of 26 Geological Society of America Map and Chart Series MCH089 2002 Geology of Nevado de Toluca Volcano and surrounding areas, central Mexico *Armando García-Palomo, José Luis Macías, José Luis Arce Instituto de Geofísica, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Coyoacán 04510, México D.F., México Lucia Capra Instituto de Geografía, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Coyoacán 04510, México D.F., México Victor Hugo Garduño Departamento de Geología y Mineralogía, Instituto de Investigaciones Metalúrgicas, Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolás de Hidalgo, Morelia, Michoacán, México Juan Manuel Espíndola Instituto de Geofísica, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Coyoacán 04510, México D.F., México ABSTRACT Nevado de Toluca is an andesitic-dacitic stratovolcano of Pliocene-Holocene age located in central Mexico. The volcano is built on a complex sequence of metamorphic and sedimentary formations of Jurassic-Cretaceous age, rhyolitic ignimbrites of late Eocene age, and massive andesitic lava flows of late Miocene. In the northwest corner of the map area, on top of this basement sequence, a complex andesitic-dacitic strato- volcano, San Antonio, and a series of andesitic-dacitic domes and cones of Pliocene– early Pleistocene age were also built. The first andesitic-dacitic emissions of Nevado de Toluca occurred 2.6 Ma and continued during late Pleistocene–Holocene time contem- porarily with basaltic to dacitic emissions of the Chichinautzin Volcanic Field in the eastern parts of the map area. Volcanism in the area has been controlled by the interplay of three fault systems active since late Miocene. These systems, from older to younger, are the Taxco-Querétaro Fault System (NNW–SSE), the San Antonio Fault System (NE–SW), and the Tenango Fault System (E–W).

Romero Olguín 1, L. F.Guerrero Baca 2, * 1 PhD program in Architecture, National Autonomous University of México, México city - [email protected] 2 Metropolitan Autonomous University- Xochimilco, México city - [email protected] Commission II - WG II/8 KEY WORDS: Typology, Construction techniques, Vernacular architecture, Calimaya ABSTRACT: Climate, topography, hydrology, and all the factors of the natural environment affecting a population, as well as accessibility to materials and its ease of transport have constituted the variables determining the vernacular housing characteristics. In the territory which now covers Calimaya various cultural groups settled, making evident the syncretism of various building traditions. Since its formation the place was a site of passage, which communicated various goods transport, generating a peculiar urban physiognomy and cultural exchange, leading to the introduction of buildings, typical of this place. The town’s current situation is characterized by a rapid process of urbanization and social transformation, generating new needs of usage and habitability. This growth transforms the architecture of the place, replacing it with buildings with physiognomic features that do not correspond to the original context, causing loss of local construction techniques. Assuming that typology is a theoretical and creative activity allowing the definition and structuring of a system of conceptual relations, within certain limits, in order to determine the representative elements of vernacular architecture of the site, a typological analysis is being carried out to identify local materials and buildings systems, its characteristics, and spatial shape.

This thesis explores public transportation planning in the Mexico City metropolitan area (MCMA) for empirical evidence to better understand what institutional, financial, and political conditions encourage and deter cooperative metropolitan governance. The MCMA, made up of several state-level jurisdictions, predominantly the Federal District (DF) and the State of Mexico (Edomex), continues to expand rapidly, surpassing their jurisdictional capacities and putting pressure on infrastructure like public transit, which carries almost two-thirds of daily traffic.
