High-resolution satellite-gauge merged precipitation climatologies of the Tropical Andes by Manz, Bastian, Buytaert, Wouter, Zulkafli, Zed Diyana, Lavado, Waldo, Willems, Bram, Robles, Luis Alberto, Rodriguez-Sanchez, Juan-Pablo

“…Satellite precipitation products are becoming increasingly useful to complement rain gauge networks in regions where these are too sparse to capture spatial precipitation patterns, such as in the Tropical Andes. The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Precipitation Radar (TPR) was active for 17 years (1998–2014) and has generated one of the longest single-sensor, high-resolution, and high-accuracy rainfall records. …”

Detrital zircon fingerprint of the Proto-Andes: Evidence for a Neoproterozoic active margin? by Chew, D., Magna, T., Kirkland, Chris, Miškovic, A., Cardona, A., Spikings, R., Schaltegger, U.

“…No obvious source for this detritus is known in the northern and central Andes. Derivation from eastern Amazonia is considered unlikely due to the stark paucity of detritus derived from the core of the Amazonian craton. …”

Implications of erosion and bedrock composition on zircon fertility: Examples from South America and Western Australia by Spencer, Christopher, Kirkland, Chris, Roberts, N.

“…This interplay is illustrated in South America where rocks exposed in the Amazonia craton have higher Zr concentrations (i.e. greater zircon yield) than the Andes; however, the detrital zircon population of the Amazon River catchment shows more zircon from the Andes given the higher erosion rate. …”

D.H. Lawrence, Rananim and Gilbert Cannan’s Windmills by Harrison, Andrew

“…Lawrence have long recognized the significance of his various schemes to establish small utopian communities in locations such as Florida, the Andes, Palestine, Connecticut, and New Mexico. Recent accounts have, however, sought to distinguish the so-called ‘Rananim’ fantasy which Lawrence created with his wife and a select group of friends over Christmas and New Year 1914–1915 from his later schemes for communitarian living. …”

Revision of Sarcocornia (Chenopodiaceae) in South Africa, Namibia and Mozambique by Steffen, S., Mucina, Ladislav, Kadereit, G.

“…Some South African taxa also occur in inland (semi-desert) quartz patches while some South American species occur on saline soils of dry, continental high plateaus in the Andes. The genus reaches its highest species diversity in the Greater Cape Floristic Region of South Africa, where twelve species and one subspecies are known. …”

Research progress on the flat subduction and its metallogenic effect, two cases analysis and some prospects by Cao, Mingjian, Qin, K., Li, J.

“…Many studies indicate that there is genetic relationship between plenty of large-giant porphyry Cu deposits or epithermal Au deposits and flat subduction, especially those deposits developed at Andes. Meanwhile, flat subduction may bring about a large amount of impacts on orogeny, earthquake, crust deformation, crust-mantle interaction. …”

Desktop analysis of potential impacts of visitor use: A case study for the highest park in the Southern Hemisphere by Barros, A., Pickering, C., Gudes, Ori

“…To prioritise where and what impacts to monitor and manage, we conducted a desktop assessment using Geographical Information Systems (GIS) by combining recreation ecology research with data on visitor usage and key environmental features for a popular protected area used for mountaineering and trekking, Aconcagua Provincial Park (2400–6962 m a.s.l.) in the Andes of Argentina. First, we integrated visitor data from permits with environmental data using GIS. …”

Topographic/isostatic evaluation of new-generation GOCE gravity field models by Hirt, Christian, Kuhn, Michael, Featherstone, Will, Göttl, F.

“…Our topography-implied gravity comparisons bring evidence of improvements from GOCE to gravity field knowledge over the Himalayas, Africa, the Andes, Papua New Guinea and Antarctic regions. In attenuated form, GOCE captures topography-implied gravity signals up to degree 250 (80 km resolution), suggesting that other signals (originating, e.g., from the crust-mantle boundary and buried loads) are captured as well, which might now improve our knowledge on the Earth’s lithosphere structure at previously unresolved spatial scales.…”

Geochemistry, U-Pb SHRIMP zircon dating and Hf isotopes of the Gondwanan magmatism in NW Argentina: Petrogenesis and geodynamic implications by Poma, S., Zappettini, E., Quenardelle, S., Santos, J., Koukharsky, M., Belousova, E., McNaughton, Neal

“…Hf model ages obtained are consistent with the presence of crustal Mesoproterozoic (mainly Ectasian to Calymnian (TDM(c) =1.24 to 1.44 Ga-negative Hf(T)) and juvenile Cryogenian sources (TDM=0.65 to 0.79 Ga-positive eHf(T)), supporting the idea of a continuous, mostly Mesoproterozoic, basement under the Central Andes, as an extension of the Arequipa-Antofalla massif. …”

Fire and plant diversification in mediterranean-climate regions by Rundel, P., Arroyo, M., Cowling, R., Keeley, J., Lamont, Byron, Pausas, J., Vargas, P.

“…Fire has been a significant agent of selection in assembling the modern floras of four of the five MTC regions, with central Chile an exception following the uplift of the Andes in the middle Miocene. Selection for persistence in a fire-prone environment as a key causal factor for species diversification in MTC regions has been under-appreciated or ignored. …”
