Ubinas: the evolution of the historically most active volcano in southern Peru

Abstract: Ubinas volcano has had 23 degassing and ashfall episodes since A.D. 1550, making it the historically most active volcano in southern Peru. Based on fieldwork, on interpretation of aerial photographs and satellite images, and on radiometric ages, the eruptive history of Ubinas is divided into two major periods. Ubinas I (Middle Pleistocene >376 ka) is characterized by lava flow activity that formed the lower part of the edifice. This edifice collapsed and resulted in a debris-avalanche deposit distributed as fa… Show more

“…1). Se han desarrollado nuevos trabajos in situ en algunos de estos depósitos (e.g., van Wyk de Vries et al, 2001;Clavero et al, 2002;Clavero et al, 2004), así como también se han identificado nuevos depósitos de este tipo en la zona (e.g., Thouret et al, 2005;. Se ha propuesto que estos depósitos de avalancha de detritos han sido generados por deslizamiento gravitacional (e.g., van Wyk de Vries et al, 2001), alteración hidrotermal (e.g., , erupciones magmáticas (e.g., O'Callaghan y Francis, 1986;Thouret et al, 2005;Godoy y Clavero, 2008) o procesos mixtos (Clavero et al, 2004), influyendo en gran parte de estos colapsos el estrés tectónico local (e.g., Francis y Wells, 1988;Vezzoli et al, 2008;Arancibia et al, 2009).…”

“…La inestabilidad y el colapso de edificios volcánicos han sido objeto de gran cantidad de estudios en el mundo, en particular con posterioridad a la erupción del Monte Santa Helena en 1980 (e.g., Voight et al, 1981;Ui, 1983;Siebert, 1984;Francis y Wells, 1988;Ponomareva et al, 2006). El estudio de estos eventos es de gran utilidad para reconocer la estabilidad de edificios volcánicos propensos a colapsar y que se encuentren cercanos a áreas pobladas, de manera de mitigar los posibles efectos que un flujo de estas características pudiese generar (e.g., Capra et al, 2002;Thouret et al, 2005;Catane et al, 2008).…”
