However, several further, extra-Andean paramos exist, of which a particular case is situated on the active volcano Sumaco, in the northwestern Amazon Basin of Ecuador. We have set an elevational gradient of 600 m (3200–3800 m a.s.l.) and sampled a total of 21 vegetation plots, using the phytosociological method. All vascular plants encountered were typified by their taxonomy, life form and phytogeographic origin. In order to determine if plots may be ensembled into vegetation units and understand what the main environmental factors shaping this pattern are, a non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) analysis was performed.

December 30, 2019 arXiv:1705.09884v2 [physics.geo-ph] 27 Dec 2019 1Corresponding author Abstract By using a very detailed simulation scheme, we have calculated the cosmic ray background flux at 13 active Colombian volcanoes and developed a methodology to identify the most convenient places for a muon telescope to study their inner structure. Our simulation scheme considers three critical factors with different spatial and time scales: the geo- magnetic effects, the development of extensive air showers in the atmosphere, and the detector response at ground level. The muon energy dissipation along the path crossing the geological structure is mod- eled considering the losses due to ionization, and also contributions from radiative Bremßtrahlung, nuclear interactions, and pair production.

  • Cerro Negro Volcanic Complex (CCNVC)

Characterization of Tectonic - Magmatic Seismic Source at Chiles - Cerro Negro Volcanic Complex (CCNVC) Andrea Córdova, Pedro Espin, and Daniel Pacheco Escuela Politecnica Nacional, Instituto Geofísico, Sismologia, Quito, Ecuador ([email protected]) The Chiles - Cerro Negro Volcanic Complex (CVCCN) is located in the Western cordillera at the Ecuador – Colombia border. This volcanic complex has showed an anomalous seismic activity since late 2013, with high activity peaks in 2014, specially in October and November with up to 6000 earthquakes per day mostly volcanic-tectonics events. The most important earthquake in this sequence occurred on October 20, 2014 with a 5.7 Mw. In order to obtain a better characterization of the seismic source in the CVCCN area, a new 1D velocity model was computed using 300 earthquakes with magnitudes larger than 3.0 MLv, and high quality of P and S pickings. This model has 8 layers over a semi-space and starts with a Vp = 2.96 Km/s and Vs = 1.69 Km/s highlighting strong variations at 7km with Vp = 5.87 Km/s and Vs = 3.52 Km/s and at 24 km Vp = 6.58 Km/s and Vs = 3.79 Km/s . A value of 1.73 of Vp/Vs was determined, which is a normal for the continental crust. Computed hypocenters with the new velocity model highlighted two sources: one is defined by a concentration of shallow earthquakes on the southern flank of Chiles Volcano, and the second one contains events deeper than 7 km and follows a N-S tectonic structure that crosses the CVCCN and matches the Cauca-Patía fault.

  • Ecuadorian Volcanoes Supersite
    Version 1.3 15 October 2018 www.geo-gsnl.org Biennial report for Permanent Supersite/Natural Laboratory Ecuadorian Volcanoes Supersite History http://geo-gsnl.org/supersites/permanent- supersites/ecuadorian-volcanoes-supersite/ Supersite Coordinator Patricia Mothes, Escuela Politécnica Nacional, Instituto Geofísico, Ladrón de Guevara E11-253, Quito Ecuador 1. Abstract The Ecuadorian Volcanoes Supersite is an initiative which has slowly gotten access to satellite images for use in InSAR processing. There are more than 35 potentially active volcanoes in continental Ecuador and several are often in eruptive state. Cotopaxi, which is probably one of the most dangerous volcanoes in all of the Americas, because of the high probability for producing huge lahars (debris flows), had a mild awakening in 2015, and while it quieted down and is now basically sleeping, could awaken at any time. With the capability of processing the satellite images the Instituto Geofísico of the Escuela Politécnica Nacional in Quito, which has a government mandate to perform volcano and tectonic monitoring, has been able to efficiently make interferograms of the restless volcanoes. These images and their respective interpretation are shared with the National Secretary for Risk Management as well as being given broad diffusion through social media for the public at large. We consider that the use of satellite images as now a vital part of our volcano and tectonic monitoring because of the wide coverage area, the rapidity of repeat times and the facility to now process these images with new and innovative programs. The Ecuadorian Supersite has facilitated use of the satellite imagery and also learning by practitioners of the many applicable uses for the imagery.

  • Five New Species from the Paramos of the Cordillera Central
    NEW SPECIES OF ELEUTHERODACTYLUS OF COLOMBIA (AMPHIBIA: LEPTODACTYLIDAE). I: FIVE NEW SPECIES FROM THE PARAMOS OF THE CORDILLERA CENTRAL By JOHN D. LYNCH 1 SUMMARY Eleutherodactylus obmutescens , E. racemus, and E. simoterus are new species of the unistrigatus Group named from the Paramo de Purace, Paramo de las Hermosas and Paramo de Letras, respectively, in the Cordillera Central of Colombia. The new species are allied to E. orcesi Lynch and E. thymelensis Lynch known from paramos primarily on the Cordillera Occidental of Ecuador. Eleutherodactylus leptolopbus and E. peraticus are new species of the unistrigatus Group named from the Paramo de Purace and Paramo de las Hermosas, respectively. These are diminutive frogs most closely related to E. myersi (Goin and Cochran) from the Nudo de Pasto and to E. trepidotus Lynch from the subparamos of the eastern versant of the Cordillera Oriental of Ecuador. The five new species with E. buckleyi (Boulenger) comprise the six species of Eleutherodactylus now known to inhabit pararnos in the Cordillera Central of Colombia. RESUMEN Se describen aqui las nuevas especies Eleutherodactylus obmutescens, E. racemus y E. simoterus, del grupo unistrigatus, provenientes de los Paramos de Purace, Las Hermosas y Letras, respectivamente, en la Cordillera Central 1 Profesor Asociado, School of Life Sciences, The University of Nebraska, Lincoln, Nebraska, 68588, EE.

  • Volcanes. Colombia
    Colombia...un país con actividad volcánica La Tierra está viva, y como tal nos manifiesta su actividad a través de las transformaciones de la corteza terrestre, como es el caso de los terremotos, maremotos, huracanes y erupciones volcánicas, entre otros. Colombia, es un país que en virtud de su ubicación estratégica en el extremo norte de América del Sur, es atravesada por la Cordillera de los Andes, la cual es una cadena montañosa que viene desde las costas del sur de Chile, continua por las sierras del Perú y Ecuador y, finalmente, llega a las cordilleras Oriental, Central y Occidental de Colombia; en su conjunto, la Cordillera de los Andes es denominada el Cinturón de Fuego del Pacífico. Este nombre se debe a la actividad volcano-tectónica en virtud de la juventud de sus montañas sometidas a procesos de generación de montañas o procesos orogénicos. Para los colombianos no es una novedad escuchar que vivimos entre volcanes, debido a que el 70% de la población se encuentra asentada en la zona montañosa del país, y además, es una certeza que en Colombia existen cerca de 15 volcanes activos, los cuales se encuentran clasificados en cinco grupos, de acuerdo con su ubicación geográfica 1, de la siguiente manera: 1. Nevado de Cumbal, Serranía de Colimba, Chiles y Cerro Mayasquer, son volcanes vecinos al Ecuador 2. Galeras, Morosurco, Patascoi, Bordoncillo, Campanero, Páramo del Frailejón y Azufral, volcanes que se encuentran alrededor de Túquerres y Pasto 3. Cerro Petacas, Doña Juana, Cerro de las Ánimas, Juanoi y Tajumbina, están sobre la Cordillera Oriental, se encuentran entre Popayán y Pasto 4.

  • The Central Cordillera of Colombia Evelio Echevarria 49
    DE TAL EMERGENCIES I THE MO NTAINS Scarr, J. 1966. FOllr lIIiles bigb. Gollancz. Sreele, P. R. 1971. Tbe Lancet, 11, 33. Sreele, P. R. 1972. Doctor 011 Hverest. Ifodder and Sroughron. Wall, D. 1965. Hondoy. Murray. The Central Cordillera of Colombia Evelio Echevarria Perhaps the only counterpart that could be found in our world for the ndes of Central Colombia is the high volcanoes of Africa. Judging from pictures, Kilimanjaro has a number of duplications in Colombian peaks like Ruiz and Tolima, and the Virunga, in the Purace group. The wildlife habitat of Mount Elgon is imitated by some Colombian volcanoes around Tuqucrres. The strik­ ing plants of E Africa, like groundsels and lobelias, have also close equivalents in these parts of the Andes. And to round out the similarities, it is not unusual in the Colombian highlands to meet at times a hillman with undoubted e­ groid features - the legacy of the slave trade, handed down from colonial times. The Central Cordillera of Colombia is born in the heart of the country and heads along the continental divide of S merica in a SSW direction, until reach­ ing the international border with Ecuador. It is not a continuous range but rather it is composed of several isolated high massifs, separated by wide para­ mos, or rolling moorland, rising above deep tropical valleys that drain E and W. In spite of much recent aerophotogrammerry undertaken in the last few years by the Colombian air force, the range still lacks an accurate survey. De­ tail on existing maps is good for the inhabited country, but poor for the high­ er areas.

Thermal waters are natural resources of great value to geothermal sciences, the tourism industry, and health. In this work, geochemical classification of physicochemical results of 17 sources at the Puracé-La Mina (Cauca, Colombia) sector was implemented in order to strengthen and determine their potential applications and enhance the continental tourism in Colombia. The analyzed parameters were developed following the Standard Methods 22nd edition, at Universidad Nacional de Colombia-Manizales. According to the results obtained by means of a geochemical classification, it was found that most of the sources have a sulfated-acid nature which makes them heated vapor waters and volcanic waters. Likewise, it was observed that all the sources are immature waters and still do not reach chemical equilibrium.
