This extensive peatland network stores significant amounts of carbon, regulates local and regional hydrological cycles, supports habitats for a variety of plant and animal species, and has provided critical water and forage resources for the livestock of the indigenous Aymara communities for thousands of years. Nevertheless, little is known about the productivity dynamics of the high Andean peatlands, particularly in the drier western Altiplano region bordering the Atacama desert. Here, we provide the first digital peatland inventory and multiscale productivity assessment for the entire western Altiplano (63,705 km2) using 31 years of Landsat data (about 9000 scenes) and a non-parametric approach for estimating phenological metrics.

    Alkalic-Type Epithermal Gold Deposit Model Chapter R of Mineral Deposit Models for Resource Assessment Scientific Investigations Report 2010–5070–R U.S. Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey Cover. Photographs of alkalic-type epithermal gold deposits and ores. Upper left: Cripple Creek, Colorado—One of the largest alkalic-type epithermal gold deposits in the world showing the Cresson open pit looking southwest. Note the green funnel-shaped area along the pit wall is lamprophyre of the Cresson Pipe, a common alkaline rock type in these deposits. The Cresson Pipe was mined by historic underground methods and produced some of the richest ores in the district. The holes that are visible along several benches in the pit (bottom portion of photograph) are historic underground mine levels. (Photograph by Karen Kelley, USGS, April, 2002). Upper right: High-grade gold ore from the Porgera deposit in Papua New Guinea showing native gold intergrown with gold-silver telluride minerals (silvery) and pyrite.

  • La Unificación Energética Del Continente Americano 01 Marzo 21
    La Unificación Energética del Continente Americano 01 Marzo 21 A través de 12 ondas de activación en todo Sud América A partir de hoy-noche (01 Marzo 2021), y cada 21 días, se abrirán Centros Energéticos de activación de la Orden Sta. Esmeralda, Maestros Ascendidos, Aruanda, Iroko y otras estructuras con la energía de MU y Lemuria, relacionados con la frecuencia chamánica. Serán 12 olas de activación en diferentes puntos de SudAmérica por toda la conexión que aquí existe con los centros intraterrenos e intraoceánicos que nos conectan con el antiguo continente madre de todo lo que existe, que es MU y Lemuria, una de sus principales ciudades. La mayoría de los pueblos indígenas del continente americano, Costa del Pacífico y las costas de Asia, son descendientes de las 25 razas primordiales de MU. El Continente perdido de MU tiene más de 500 mil años de historia. Se iniciarán conexiones con alumnos de la Rometria y/o que desarrollan trabajos con Los Siete Rayos, Saint Germain, Confucio, El Moira, QuanYin, y otros de la línea de los Siete Rayos; gente que tiene contacto extra-físico con RRomo y/o quienes hayan sido contactados o conectados con las diversas frecuencias chamánicas, ya activas hace muchos años. Todos estos Centros Energéticos irán a activar una RED Crística Hispánica para América desde el Sur de EE.UU, pasando por México hasta el sur de Chile. Sucede que la colonización europea destrozó toda la información original de Mu, Lemuria y Atlante que existía. Todo el conocimiento sagrado, la conexión, la medicina, hierbas, etc. se perdió, fue aplastado por el catolicismo, causando un grave daño de separación de lo que es el verdadero maestro interno.

  • What's Your Next Dream?
    PARTING SHOTS WHAT’S YOUR NEXT DREAM? Gerhard Wörner1 DOI: 10.2113/gselements.14.4.286 While working on extinct volcanoes in Germany, I always wanted to see Hawaii. This dream came true in 1984 when I was on my way to study volcanoes in Antarctica when we passed through Hawaii … and I got the thrill of seeing Pu‘u ‘O¯ ‘o¯ erupt. Later, over a beer, I was telling my friend, Russ Harmon, how my fieldwork adventures had fulfilled a long-held dream. “So, what’s your next dream?”, he asked. “I want Two-peso coins ‘minted’ by the nitrate mine company, Compania de to work on the volcanoes of the Atacama in South America”, was my FIGURE 2 Salitre de Antofagasta. These coins are made from bakelite (the first answer, not realizing that he and his colleagues were planning a field plastic made from synthetic components). These coins could only be spent in the campaign to work on Parinacota Volcano in northern Chile the next company’s store. PHOTO: G. WÖRNER. year. I was invited to join. This was 1986 and Chile’s dictator, Augusto Pinochet, was still in power. the surviving workers were forced to return to the mines. The military The shaggy border town of Arica, our departing spot to the high Andes, colonel who was responsible for this massacre was even awarded for had just one lonely place to hang out before departing to the field: restoring order. Those mines became ghost towns after the synthetic Café 21 on calle 21. The café was the center of town, an uneasy place fixation of nitrogen from air (the Haber–Bosch process) was invented.

The first satellite-derived inventory of glaciers and rock glaciers in Chile, created from Landsat TM/ETM+ images spanning between 2000 and 2003 using a semi-automated procedure, is pre- sented in a single standardized format. Large glacierized areas in the Altiplano, Palena Province and the periphery of the Patagonian icefields are inventoried. The Chilean glacierized area is 23 708 ± 1185 km2, including ∼3200 km2 of both debris-covered glaciers and rock glaciers.

This volcanic complex, consisting chiefly of rhyolitic ash-flow tuffs and andesitic lavas, p p extends over an area of about 300,000 knr within a 1,000,000 km area that is one of the world's great mineral provinces. Because many deposits of Cu, Pb, Zn, Sn, W, Sb, Bi, Ag, and Au in this area are of pre-Pliocene age, it had been believed that most of the Neogene-Quaternary volcanic rocks represented post-mineralization cover.
