  • ANDES NEAR SANTIAGO BIRDS of CENTRAL CHILE Full Day
    THE ANDES NEAR SANTIAGO BIRDS OF CENTRAL CHILE Full day Our destination is the Andean range near the city of Santiago de Chile, the capital and largest city of the country.

This is the perfect spot to look for two hummingbirds of Central Chile: White-sided Hillstar and the Giant Hummingbird as some other specialties and endemics as the Chilean Tinamou, Crag Chilia, Tapaculo, Mustached Turca and the Andean Condor. While we ascend to higher altitude we will spot different species of Ground-Tyrants and Miners. TARGET: 40 SPECIES Some of the species that can be found in this trip: Giant Hummingbird, White-sided Hillstar, Chilean Tinamou, California Quail, Spot-billed Ground Tyrant, White-browed Ground Tyrant, Cinerous Ground-tyrant, Great-shrike Tyrant, Grey-hooded Sierra Finch, Band-tailed Sierra Finch, Scale-throated Earthcreeper, Rufous-banded Miner, Creamy- rumped Miner, Burrowing Owl, Magellanic Horned Owl.

  • Kinematics of the Active West Andean Fold-And-Thrust Belt (Central Chile): Structure and Long-Term Shortening Rate
    Kinematics of the active West Andean fold-and-thrust belt (Central Chile): structure and long-term shortening rate M. Riesner1, R. Lacassin1, M. Simoes1, R. Armijo1, R. Rauld 1, 2, * and G. Vargas2 1 Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris, Sorbonne Paris Cité, Univ Paris Diderot, UMR 7154 CNRS, F-75005 Paris, France 2 Dept. de Geofísica, Facultad de Ciencias Físicas y Matemáticas, Universidad de Chile, Santiago, Chile. * Now at Xterrae, Of. 61 Hernando de Aguirre 194, Providencia, Santiago, Chile. Corresponding author: Magali Riesner ([email protected]) Key Points: • 3D structural map and geological cross-section of the WAFTB east of Santiago. • Kinematics of deformation deduced from precise mapping of syn-tectonic Farellones formation. • Long-term shortening rate of 0.1-0.5 mm/yr, with possible deceleration by ~20 Ma. Abstract : West-verging thrusts, synthetic with the Nazca - South America subduction interface, have been recently discovered at the western front of the Andes. At ~33°30’S, the active San Ramón fault stands as the most frontal of these west-verging structures, and represents a major earthquake threat for Santiago, capital city of Chile. Here we elaborate a detailed 3D structural map and a precise cross-section of the West Andean fold-and-thrust belt based on field observations, satellite imagery and previous structural data, together with digital topography. We then reconstruct the evolution of this frontal belt using a trishear kinematic approach. Our reconstruction implies westward propagation of deformation with a total shortening of 9-15 km accumulated over the last 25 Myr. An overall long-term shortening rate of 0.1-0.5 mm/yr is deduced.

  • Black Carbon and Other Light-Absorbing Impurities in Snow in the Chilean Andes
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Black carbon and other light- absorbing impurities in snow in the Chilean Andes Received: 20 July 2018 Penny M. Rowe 1,2, Raul R. Cordero1, Stephen G. Warren3, Emily Stewart4, Accepted: 16 January 2019 Sarah J. Doherty5, Alec Pankow4, Michael Schrempf6, Gino Casassa7,8, Jorge Carrasco7, Published: xx xx xxxx Jaime Pizarro1, Shelley MacDonell9, Alessandro Damiani1,10, Fabrice Lambert 11,13, Roberto Rondanelli12,13, Nicolas Huneeus12,13, Francisco Fernandoy 14 & Steven Neshyba4 Vertical profles of black carbon (BC) and other light-absorbing impurities were measured in seasonal snow and permanent snowfelds in the Chilean Andes during Austral winters 2015 and 2016, at 22 sites between latitudes 18°S and 41°S. The samples were analyzed for spectrally-resolved visible light absorption. For surface snow, the average mass mixing ratio of BC was 15 ng/g in northern Chile (18– 33°S), 28 ng/g near Santiago (a major city near latitude 33°S, where urban pollution plays a signifcant role), and 13 ng/g in southern Chile (33–41°S). The regional average vertically-integrated loading of BC was 207 µg/m2 in the north, 780 µg/m2 near Santiago, and 2500 µg/m2 in the south, where the snow season was longer and the snow was deeper. For samples collected at locations where there had been no new snowfall for a week or more, the BC concentration in surface snow was high (~10–100 ng/g) and the sub-surface snow was comparatively clean, indicating the dominance of dry deposition of BC. Mean albedo reductions due to light-absorbing impurities were 0.0150, 0.0160, and 0.0077 for snow grain radii of 100 µm for northern Chile, the region near Santiago, and southern Chile; respective mean radiative forcings for the winter months were 2.8, 1.4, and 0.6 W/m2.

    From: Lee Greenwald To: FS-objections-pnw-mthood Subject: Twilight Parking lot Date: Monday, March 03, 2014 11:44:20 PM Attachments: 2013 International Report on Snow Mountain Tourism.pdf Cross-country skiing experiencing a Nordic renaissance Olympian.pdf Twilight Parking Lot OBJECTION 3-1-14 EAE v2.doc Dear objections official, I previously raised several objections concerning Mt Hood Meadows application to build the Twilight Parking lot. Though some, not all, of these objections were ostensibly addressed in their responses, they were not addressed fully nor adequately. I raised concerns regarding Meadows assumptions on growth in demand for Alpine skiing. The last ten years MHM stated continued growth trends, but actually the most recent previous two years that has not been the trend. The true growth is in Nordic skiing. The majority of the Nordic community is against the creation of the Twilight lot without a comprehensive analysis of potential future use of this terrain, and nearby Nordic trails and connecting trails. This type of analysis has not been done, and would be precluded by proceeding with the construction of the Twilight lot before all future use options have been considered. Second, I asked that MHM be required by the FS to place the funds, $500,000, for a Nordic center in a designated account for a future Nordic center building, and a restrictive timeline for construction. If the parking lot is to be built, the Nordic community should have some prior input on the Nordic facility to be built prior to the lots final approval. The response that was posted simply stated that "a" facility would be built within three years.

  • Cerro El Plomo Rodrigo Fica Mayo 2000
    Cerro El Plomo Rodrigo Fica Mayo 2000 Cerro El Plomo La más alta montaña visible a simple vista desde Santiago (5.430 m), rodeada de glaciares, centros de esquí y áreas protegidas. Una opción relativamente desconocida para los turistas que desean conocer los encantos de la Cordillera de los Andes. Puede ser visitada durante todo el año, ofreciendo los placeres de los calores estivales o bien la rigurosidad propia de los inviernos andinos. Una excursión notable para quienes gustan de las actividades al aire libre. Texto y Fotografías: Rodrigo Fica Mayo 2000 Santiago, ciudad capital de Chile, está al lado de la Cordillera de los Andes. Ella no sólo entrega una bonita vista, sino que también ofrece un amplio espacio para la recreación y el esparcimiento. Las opciones son múltiples y van desde apacibles paseos diarios hasta ascensiones mayores en lugares tales como la Sierra del Ramón, el Cerro Provincia o el Cajón del Maipo. Sin embargo, el destino supremo por excelencia es el cerro Plomo, el punto más alto que puede verse a simple vista desde Santiago (5.430 metros de altitud). En sus faldas se localizan cuatro centros de esquí, dos Santuarios de la Naturaleza y varios glaciares que alimentan la cuenca hidrográfica de la zona. En los días despejados se le puede observar claramente un poco a la izquierda del río Mapocho, bien atrás de los primeros contrafuertes cordilleranos. Es una montaña de fácil acceso. A diferencia de otras atracciones naturales, está comunicado con Santiago por un camino de montaña asfaltado y, luego, al adentrarse en la cordillera, existe un sendero peatonal visible en el 90% del recorrido.
