The magmatic record of the easternmost part Trans‐Mexican Volcanic Belt elucidates how temporal changes in subduction parameters influence convergent margin volcanism. In Palma Sola massif, three phases rocks with distinct chemical characteristics were emplaced a relatively short time span (∼17 Ma): Miocene calc‐alkaline plutons, latest Miocene‐Pleistocene alkaline plateau basalts, and Quaternary cinder cones. Plutons have arc‐like trace element patterns (Ba/Nb = 16–101), their Sr, Nd, Pb...
Abstract. Understanding the anatomy of magma plumbing systems active volcanoes is essential not only for unraveling dynamics and eruptive behaviors but also to define geometry, depth, temperature heat sources geothermal exploration. The Pleistocene–Holocene Los Humeros volcanic complex part eastern Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt (central Mexico), it constitutes one most important exploited fields in Mexico with ca. 90 MW produced electricity. With aim decipher (geometry structure) magmatic...
Abstract Longevity and size of magmatic systems are fundamental factors for assessing the potential a geothermal field. At Los Humeros volcanic complex (LHVC), first caldera‐forming event was reported at 460 ± 40 ka. New zircon U/Th plagioclase Ar/ 39 Ar dates pre‐, syn‐ postcaldera volcanics allow reappraisal evolution geothermally active LHVC. The age voluminous Xaltipan ignimbrite (115 km 3 dense rock equivalent [DRE]) associated with formation caldera is now constrained by two...
To report the high incidence of lung cancer (LC) and malignant mesothelioma (MM) linked to environmental exposure erionite fibres in a rural village central Mexico.This is retrospective survey clinical mortality records from years 2000-2012, accompanied by an for nine Group-1 pleura carcinogenic agents listed International Agency Research on Cancer (IARC).Out total 45 deaths between 2000 2012, 14 correspond different neoplasms lung, at least four MM. The ages diagnosis MM were 30 54 years....
Abstract. As part of the GEMex Project, an on-going European-Mexican effort to develop geothermal energy from non-conventional sources, preliminary geological models have been constructed for two sites located in easternmost region Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt. The first site, Los Humeros, which has produced electricity decades, is investigated its probable superhot resources. second Acoculco, a less known but promising area where application Enhanced Geothermal System being studied. In order...
We present an updated version of the geologic map Los Humeros Volcanic Complex (LHVC) and geothermal field, based on acomplete revised characterization rock units contacts, structural features, stratigraphy recent radiometric dating withmodern methods (U/Th, 40Ar/39Ar, Carrasco-Núñez et al., 2017, in press), together with use high resolution Digital TerrainModel at 1m Google Earth optical imagery. Improvements this include refined stratigraphic sequence,revised classification each...
Abstract Despite a number of published papers focusing on the geodynamic implications recent Southern Puna mafic magmatism, there have been fewer studies volcanology and stratigraphy this outstanding volcanism. This paper presents detailed map two well-preserved Quaternary scoria cones showing their complex stratigraphy. Complementary morphometric, morpho-structural, petrographic geochemical data were used to reconstruct evolution both volcanoes. The occurrence more than one eruption at each...
