Printed on acid-free paper Springer is part of Springer Science + Business Media (www.springer.com) Preface During the last decade the importance of environmental issues related to mercury released to the atmosphere by major anthropogenic sources, which include, but are not limited to, power plants for energy production and a variety of industrial plants, has gained growing attention for their effects on human health and ecosystems. In this framework the UNEP Mercury Programme started, beginning in 2002, a process to assess to what extent contamination by mercury released from anthropo- genic and natural sources may affect human health and ecosystems. A number of concerted initiatives have been undertaken on a global scale to assess the current state of our knowledge regarding atmospheric mercury emissions and transport, its deposition to and evasion from terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, and also to evaluate the relative contributions of natural and anthropogenic sources to the glo- bal atmospheric mercury budget. At the beginning of 2005 the Governing Council of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP-GC) urged (Decision 23/9 IV), governments, inter-governmental and nongovernmental organizations and the private sector to develop and implement partnerships as one approach to reducing the risks to human health and the environment from the release of mercury and its compounds, by improving global understanding of international mercury emission sources, fate and transport. In this framework, the UNEP Global Partnership for Mercury Air Transport and Fate Research (UNEP-MFTP) was initiated in 2005 aiming to encourage collaborative research activities on different aspects of atmos- pheric mercury cycling on local to hemispheric and global scales. Members of the UNEP-MFTP are, Italy (lead), Canada, Japan, South Africa, United States, Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), Natural Resources Defence Council (NRDC) and UNEP. Since 2005, the UNEP-MFTP has met four times. The first meeting was held in Madison, Wisconsin in conjunction with the 8th International Conference of Mercury as a Global Pollutant, followed by the meeting in Gatineau, Quebec, Canada (9-10 January 2007) which aimed to dis- cuss and define the elements included in Decision 23/9 IV. A 3rd meeting was held in Washington, D.C. on 10-11 October 2007 to review the Business Plan of the UNEP-MFTP, which was submitted (February 2008) to UNEP Chemicals, whereas the 4th meeting of the partnership was held in Rome (7-11 April 2008) in conjunc- tion with the international workshop jointly organised by the UNEPMFTP and the Task Force on Hemispheric Transport of Air Pollution (TF HTAP) of the UNECE v vi Preface Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution, in which leading sci- entists from all over the world presented their contributions to the UNEP-MFTP Technical Report. This book is the technical report the UNEP-MFTP provided to UNEP Chemicals, governments, inter-governmental and non-governmental organisations as well as the private sector, as a contribution to the ongoing work within the Open- Ended Working Group (OEWG) in charge of preparing the input to the next UNEP Governing Council. The book highlights major issues related to the interactions of mercury with terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, and evaluates the relative con- tribution of anthropogenic and natural sources to the global atmospheric mercury budget. The preparation of this report has been made possible thanks to the con- tributions of all the members of the UNEP-MFTP, and of more than 70 scientists from leading universities and research institutions recognised as worldwide experts on different aspects related to the emissions, monitoring and modelling of mercury in the atmosphere and other environmental compartments. The draft of this report was delivered to UNEP Chemicals in February 2008 as a contribution to the Open- Ended Mercury Working Group of UNEP Chemicals (meeting held in Bangkok in November 2008) and to the UNEP Governing Council (meeting held in Nairobi, February 2009). Dr. Nicola Pirrone Chair of the UNEP-MFTP CNR-Institute for Atmospheric Pollution Rome, Italy Acknowledgments As Chair of the UNEP-MFTP I would like to express my gratitude to the members of the partnership for their continued support to the activity of the partnership dur- ing the last three years. I would like to acknowledge the support received from the Italian Ministry for the Environment, Land and Sea; special thanks to Dr. Corrado Clini, Director General of the Department for Environmental Research and Development for his continued support. The preparation of this technical report would have not been possible without the great contribution of all colleagues that have led the preparation of the chapters and to all co-authors that have provided valuable contributions. The contribution of the external reviewers is greatly acknowledged. Special thanks to the co-Editor, Dr. Robert Mason who has provided continued and full support during these months. I would like to acknowledge the great contribution from both co-chairs of the TF HTAP, Dr. Andre Zuber and Dr. Terry Keating who have provided timely input to the activity of the UNEP-MFTP and to the preparation of this technical report.

  • The Veladero High-Sulfidation Epithermal Au-Ag Deposit
    THE VELADERO HIGH-SULFIDATION EPITHERMAL AU-AG DEPOSIT, ARGENTINA: VOLCANIC STRATIGRAPHY, ALTERATION, MINERALIZATION, AND QUARTZ PARAGENESIS by Elizabeth A. Holley A thesis submitted to the Faculty and the Board of Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Geology). Golden, Colorado Date _________________ Signed:___________________________ Elizabeth A. Holley Signed:___________________________ Dr. Thomas Monecke Thesis Advisor Golden, Colorado Date _________________ Signed:___________________________ Dr. J. D. Humphrey Associate Professor and Head Department of Geology and Geological Engineering ii ABSTRACT The Veladero Au-Ag high-sulfidation epithermal deposit is located in the El Indio-Pasuca belt in Argentina. Veladero is an oxidized deposit that contained reserves of 12.2 Moz of Au and 226.2 Moz of Ag at the end of 2008. Ore is primarily hosted in silicified breccias. The volcanic package at Veladero is a coalescing complex of domes, diatremes, and hydrothermal breccia bodies, mantled by a thick apron of volcaniclastic deposits. These units are inferred to be of Cerro de las Tórtolas age (16.0 ± 0.2 to 14.9 ± 0.7 Ma) at Amable in the southern part of the Veladero area, and Vacas Heladas age (12.7 ± 0.9 to 11.0 ± 0.2 Ma) at Filo Federico in the northern part of Veladero. Emplacement of hydrothermal breccia units was accompanied or shortly followed by multiple pulses of magmatic-hydrothermal and alternating jarosite alteration from about 15.4 to 8.9 Ma. Alunite and jarosite 40Ar-39Ar ages and U-Pb zircon ages of crosscutting dikes restrict mineralization at Amable to the period from 15.4 to 12.14 0.11 Ma, probably commencing closer to 12.7 Ma.

  • IMA–CNMNC Approved Mineral Symbols
    Mineralogical Magazine (2021), 85, 291–320 doi:10.1180/mgm.2021.43 Article IMA–CNMNC approved mineral symbols Laurence N. Warr* Institute of Geography and Geology, University of Greifswald, 17487 Greifswald, Germany Abstract Several text symbol lists for common rock-forming minerals have been published over the last 40 years, but no internationally agreed standard has yet been established. This contribution presents the first International Mineralogical Association (IMA) Commission on New Minerals, Nomenclature and Classification (CNMNC) approved collection of 5744 mineral name abbreviations by combining four methods of nomenclature based on the Kretz symbol approach. The collection incorporates 991 previously defined abbreviations for mineral groups and species and presents a further 4753 new symbols that cover all currently listed IMA minerals. Adopting IMA– CNMNC approved symbols is considered a necessary step in standardising abbreviations by employing a system compatible with that used for symbolising the chemical elements. Keywords: nomenclature, mineral names, symbols, abbreviations, groups, species, elements, IMA, CNMNC (Received 28 November 2020; accepted 14 May 2021; Accepted Manuscript published online: 18 May 2021; Associate Editor: Anthony R Kampf) Introduction used collection proposed by Whitney and Evans (2010). Despite the availability of recommended abbreviations for the commonly Using text symbols for abbreviating the scientific names of the studied mineral species, to date < 18% of mineral names recog- chemical elements
