  • PATAGONIA Located in Argentina and Chile, Patagonia Is a Natural Wonderland That Occupies the Southernmost Reaches of South America
    PATAGONIA Located in Argentina and Chile, Patagonia is a natural wonderland that occupies the southernmost reaches of South America. It is an extraordinary landscape of dramatic mountains, gigantic glaciers that calve into icy lakes, cascading waterfalls, crystalline streams and beech forests. It is also an area rich in wildlife such as seals, humpback whales, pumas, condors and guanacos. The best time to visit Patagonia is between October and April. Highlights Spectacular Perito Moreno Glacier; scenic wonders of Los Glaciares National Park; unforgettable landscapes of Torres del Paine; breathtaking scenery of the Lakes District. Climate The weather is at its warmest and the hours of daylight at their longest (18 hours) during the summer months of Nov-Mar. This is also the windiest and busiest time of year. Winter provides clear skies, less windy conditions and fewer tourists; however temperatures can be extremely cold. 62 NATURAL FOCUS – TAILOR-MADE EXPERIENCES Pristine Patagonia Torres Del Paine National Park in Patagonia was incredible!

D. Dissertation Division of Earth System Science Graduate School of Environmental Science Hokkaido University March 2016 Abstract This thesis studies frontal variations and changes in ice flow of calving glaciers in the Southern Patagonia Icefield (SPI) and northwestern Greenland. To quantify recent changes of calving glaciers in these regions, I measured ice front positions and flow velocities over the last 20 years at 47 calving glaciers using satellite images. The focus of the measurements and subsequent data analysis was the relationship between glacier retreat and flow acceleration. In addition to the satellite data based measurements, an intensive research was carried out at Upsala Glacier in the SPI to investigate the detailed mechanisms of rapid retreat observed at this glacier and some of the studied glaciers. In particular, recent rapid retreat of Upsala Glacier was investigated by field observations and analysis of glacier geometry using digital elevation models. In the SPI, frontal positions and velocities of 32 termini of 28 calving glaciers were measured between 1984 and 2014 using Landsat images. During the study period, only the two termini of Pío XI Glacier advanced, 11 termini were stagnant and 17 termini retreated.

  • Potentialities of Sentinel-1 for Mapping and Monitoring Geological and Cryospheric Processes in the Patagonia Region (Chile)
    Potentialities of Sentinel-1 for mapping and monitoring geological and cryospheric processes in the Patagonia region (Chile) O. Monserrat 1, C. Cardenas 2,P. Olea3, V. Krishnakumar 1, B. Crippa 4 1 Centre Tecnològic de Telecomunicacions de Catalaunya, Av. Carl Friedrich Gauss, 4, Castelldefels, Spain, [email protected] and [email protected] 2 Gaia –Antarctic Research Center, Universidad de Magallanes, [email protected] 3 servicio Nacional de Geología y Minería, Avda. Santa María 0104, Santiago, Chile. 4 Department of Earth Sciences, University of Milan, Milan, Italy KEY WORDS: Active geohazards, SAR interferometry, Sentinel-1, Glacier monitoring ABSTRACT: This work shows two examples on the use of Sentinel-1 data for monitoring different natural processes, like active geohazards or glacier dynamics in the Patagonia region. Sentinel-1 is a two-satellite constellation, launched by the European Space Agency (ESA), that provides SAR imagery with interferometric capabilities. It is in operation since 2014 and has supposed a significant improvement in the exploitation of these type of data for applications like natural hazards mapping and monitoring. The acquisition policy, that guarantees an acquisition each few days (12 days in Patagonia region) for both ascending and descending trajectories, and the data distribution policy, that allows free access to the images without legal constrains, are the main reasons for this improvement. These two aspects allowed not only to assure the data in the past but also to perform monitoring plans at medium-long term. In this work we show the potentialities of the use of these data in the Patagonia region through the application of two different techniques in two different application test sites: urban areas and glaciers.

  • Convergent Margin Magmatism in the Central Andes and Its Near Antipodes in Western Indonesia: Spatiotemporal and Geochemical Considerations
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Morgan J. Salisbury for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geology presented on June 3, 2011. Title: Convergent Margin Magmatism in the Central Andes and its Near Antipodes in Western Indonesia: Spatiotemporal and Geochemical Considerations Abstract approved: ________________________________________________________________________ Adam J.R. Kent This dissertation combines volcanological research of three convergent continental margins. Chapters 1 and 5 are general introductions and conclusions, respectively. Chapter 2 examines the spatiotemporal development of the Altiplano-Puna volcanic complex in the Lípez region of southwest Bolivia, a locus of a major Neogene ignimbrite flare- up, yet the least studied portion of the Altiplano-Puna volcanic complex of the Central Andes. New mapping and laser-fusion 40Ar/39Ar dating of sanidine and biotite from 56 locations, coupled with paleomagnetic data, refine the timing and volumes of ignimbrite emplacement in Bolivia and northern Chile to reveal that monotonous intermediate volcanism was prodigious and episodic throughout the complex. 40Ar/39Ar age determinations of 13 ignimbrites from northern Chile previously dated by the K-Ar method improve the overall temporal resolution of Altiplano-Puna volcanic complex development. Together with new and updated volume estimates, the new age determinations demonstrate a distinct onset of Altiplano-Puna volcanic complex ignimbrite volcanism with modest output rates beginning ~11 Ma, an episodic middle phase with the highest eruption rates between 8 and 3 Ma, followed by a general decline in volcanic output. The cyclic nature of individual caldera complexes and the spatiotemporal pattern of the volcanic field as a whole are consistent with both incremental construction of plutons as well as a composite Cordilleran batholith.
