  • Nancy Escalante
    Mujeres of the Nicaraguan Revolution: Politicization, Radicalization, and Gender Consciousness Nancy Escalante As a self-described “library rat,” Gioconda Belli, a Nicaraguan writer and poet who was deeply involved in the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN), read the world classics, but was oddly unacquainted with Latin American literature. Her fateful encounter with the early members of the FSLN, a radical group named after Augusto César Sandino, martyr of the Nicaraguan uprising against Somoza’s oppressive family regime, introduced her to Nicaraguan literature; she then became more familiar with the culture of her own people. Belli describes this as a “pretty schizophrenic” experience, having felt “like [she had] been hit over the head with a rock.” Her newfound political leanings and experiences were entirely outside of her marriage; Belli’s husband threatened her, and even barred her from going to the university, La Asunción, because he believed it would turn her into a rebel. In the early stages of the revolution and the formation of the Sandinista National Liberation Front, it was taboo for a woman to become involved in politics––and to read political literature. Belli would lock herself inside her bathroom, having hidden the FSLN’s documents in her ceiling behind the easily removable square plasterboards. She had to read “them without [her] husband knowing” because he “wasn’t about to let [her] get 76 Perspectives involved.”1 Belli, like other women involved in the early stages of the movement, had to strategically hide her journey into politicization. As women’s demands in areas such as reproductive health, sexual liberation, and education became a topic of political discussion, Nicaraguan society––through the FSLN––permitted women to become publically radicalized and more open about their gender consciousness.

  • Volcanogenic Tsunamis in Lakes: Examples from Nicaragua and General Implications
    Ó Birkha¨user Verlag, Basel, 2007 Pure appl. geophys. 164 (2007) 527–545 0033–4553/07/030527–19 Pure and Applied Geophysics DOI 10.1007/s00024-006-0178-z Volcanogenic Tsunamis in Lakes: Examples from Nicaragua and General Implications 1,2 3 1 ARMIN FREUNDT, WILFRIED STRAUCH, STEFFEN KUTTEROLF, and 1,2 HANS-ULRICH SCHMINCKE Abstract—This paper emphasizes the fact that tsunamis can occur in continental lakes and focuses on tsunami triggering by processes related to volcanic eruptions and instability of volcanic edifices. The two large lakes of Nicaragua, Lake Managua and Lake Nicaragua, host a section of the Central American Volcanic Arc including several active volcanoes. One case of a tsunami in Lake Managua triggered by an explosive volcanic eruption is documented in the geologic record. However, a number of events occurred in the past at both lakes which were probably tsunamigenic. These include massive intrusion of pyroclastic flows from Apoyo volcano as well as of flank-collapse avalanches from Mombacho volcano into Lake Nicaragua. Maar-forming phreatomagmatic eruptions, which repeatedly occurred in Lake Managua, are highly explosive phenomena able to create hugh water waves as was observed elsewhere. The shallow water depth of the Nicaraguan lakes is discussed as the major limiting factor of tsunami amplitude and propagation speed. The very low-profile shores facilitate substantial in-land flooding even of relatively small waves. Implications for conceiving a possible warning system are also discussed. Key words: Lake tsunami, volcanogenic tsunami, tsunami hazard, Nicaraguan lakes. Introduction Tsunamis are widely recognized as disastrous waves in the ocean triggered by earthquakes, particularly since the Dec.

  • Cepf Final Project Completion Report
    CEPF FINAL PROJECT COMPLETION REPORT I. BASIC DATA Organization Legal Name: Sano y Salvo Project Title (as stated in the grant agreement): Preventing Agricultural Encroachment Into Indo Maíz Biological Reserve and Cerro Silva Nature Reserve Through the Introduction of Sustainable Agriculture in Their Buffer Zones Implementation Partners for this Project: Project Dates (as stated in the grant agreement): 1.6.2004 – 31.8.2007 Date of Report (month/year): 7 January 2008 II. OPENING REMARKS Provide any opening remarks that may assist in the review of this report. The project developed fine; with some goals we are behind schedule, but that is no reason to worry about, because we continue the same kind of work anyway, because it is an essential part of our association's vision, mission (and statutes!) to save biodiversity, to rescue the biosphere of SE Nicaragua, to promote ecological agriculture and to prevent agricultural encroachment into Indo Maíz biological reserve and Cerro Silva natural reserve through the introduction, continuation and amplification of sustainable agriculture in their buffer zones, and beyond that: all over the Región Autónoma Atlántico Sur (and with first contacts to people in the RAAN, too) and in the department of Río San Juan as well. Part of the time the administrative communication between us and CEPF was difficult, because we did sometimes send quarterly reports sort of late, (caused by our big work load), and sometimes CEPF did not react on applications from us: we got wrong forms, CEPF sent correct ones 8 months later; we asked frequently for audio visual and printed material for our environment education campaigns, we never got it nor an answer, and in 2007 we did not get any money transferred until Christmas (where we got a small amount of the money CEPF owes us), although we had agreed upon and it was practice till 2006/IV that after each report the money is sent.

Thurow Robert C. M gg' (Chair of Committee) (Member) James E. Christiansen Douglas Loh Robert E. Whitsun (Head of Department) December 1997 Major Subject: Rangeland Ecology and Management ABSTRACT Soil Erosion and Conservation as Affected by Land Use and Land Tenure, El Pital Watershed, Nicaragua. (December 1997) Matilde de los Angeles Somarriba-Chang, B.S. , National Agrarian University, Nicaragua Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Thomas L. Thurow Erosion by water is a serious problem threatening the sustainability of steep land agricultural production throughout the tropics. The El Pital watershed is typical of the many regions within Nicaragua where the effects of erosion are increasingly evident. Analysis of aerial photographs taken in 1968 and 1987, and comparing them with conditions in 1996, indicates that erosion has increased throughout this period and is substantially above the expected geologic "natural" erosion rate for the area. This trend is associated with increased fragmentation of farms associated with the agrarian reform activities of the 1980's, during which many of the large land-holdings were confiscated and redistributed to many peasant families.
