Subduction of the Nazca Ridge and the Inca Plateau: Insights into the formation of ore deposits in Peru

2005

A large number of ore deposits that formed in the Peruvian Andes during the Miocene (15-5 Ma) are related to the subduction of the Nazea plate beneath the South American plate. Here we show that the spatial and temporal distribution of these deposits correspond with the arrival of relatively buoyant topographic anomalies, namely the Nazca Ridge in central Peru and the now-consumed Inca Plateau in northern Peru, at the subduction zone. Plate reconstruction shows a rapid metallogenic response to the arrival of the topographic anomalies at the subduction trench. This is indicated by clusters of ore deposits situated within the proximity of the laterally migrating zones of ridge subduction. It …

High-temperature metamorphism and crustal melting at ca. 3.2 Ga in the eastern Kaapvaal craton, southern Africa

2018

Abstract The question of whether high-grade metamorphism and crustal melting in the early Archaean were associated with modern-style plate tectonics is a major issue in unravelling early Earth crustal evolution, and the eastern Kaapvaal craton has featured prominently in this debate. We discuss a major ca. 3.2 Ga tectono-magmatic-metamorphic event in the Ancient Gneiss Complex (AGC) of Swaziland, a multiply deformed medium- to high-grade terrane in the eastern Kaapvaal craton consisting of 3.66–3.20 Ga granitoid gneisses and infolded greenstone remnants, metasedimentary assemblages and mafic dykes. We report on a 3.2 Ga granulite-facies assemblage in a metagabbro of the AGC of central Swazi…

Analysis and reconstruction in stages of the design and construction process of the old and new basilica of S. Peter in Vatican, and its surroundings

2020

Resumen 1. Objetivos El objetivo general de esta Tesis Doctoral es reconstruir el proceso de diseño y construcción de la antigua y nueva basílica de San Pedro en el Vaticano, y de su entorno cercano. De forma complementaria, se reconstruye la evolución de la trama urbana del área del Vaticano, desde su origen hasta la actualidad. La reconstrucción del proceso de diseño y construcción se realizará de forma descriptiva y, especialmente, de forma gráfica. Los planos se realizarán con gran detalle, a escala y con gran precisión, utilizando las más avanzadas herramientas de dibujo digital. La reconstrucción de las diferentes etapas del proceso de diseño y construcción de la antigua basílica se r…

Making conservation sustainable under unfavourable conditions : the case of Chimanimani National Reserve, Mozambique

2019

Based on a case study from the Chimanimani National Reserve in Mozambique, this article analyses to what extent different types of operational practices can contribute to the sustainability of protected areas in relatively unfavourable external conditions. While current conservation policies highlight community participation and market-based approaches, the same “best practices” are not equally valid under different conditions. Where unfavourable natural conditions, lack of infrastructure, difficult access and political instability limit the potential for upmarket ecotourism, actors should focus on community empowerment, diversification of livelihoods, and building joint conservation ideolo…

Domestic dexterity and cultural policy : the idea of cottage industry and historical experience in Finland from the great famine to the reconstructio…

2016

The concept of cottage industry (kotiteollisuus) referred especially to rural craft practices. For the promotion of cottage industries, a state administrative organ and a network of cottage industry associations and schools were established. A sphere developed and monitored by specialists, cottage industry policies were planned as official committee work. However, the matter was usually addressed as ‘the idea of cottage industry’ (kotiteollisuusaate). In this study, the historical idea of cottage industry and its cultural and political backgrounds are analysed. The starting point of the investigation is in the post-WWII Cottage Industry Production Committee, but from its years of activity, …

Intelaiature lignee leggere quale presidio antisismico nell'architettura tradizionale di area mediterranea

2017

L’accresciuta attenzione nei confronti degli aspetti costruttivi dell’edificato storico, associata all’analisi delle tecniche attraverso la ricerca archivistica, ma ancor più gli interventi di restauro e recupero che punteggiano i centri storici per iniziativa pubblica e privata consentono di ritrovare -nascoste anche all’occhio attento che le sa riconoscere- le intelaiature a graticcio ligneo: teatri ad intera struttura lignea, la configurazione interna di saloni ed ambienti di rappresentanza di palazzi nobiliari, chiese, conventi o monasteri ed anche l’edilizia diffusa che definiremmo “di base” testimoniano la capillare applica-zione del sistema costruttivo, con invarianti ed originalità …

SURVEY AND VIRTUAL RECONSTRUCTION OF ANCIENT ROMAN FLOORS IN AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL CONTEXT

2019

Abstract. Despite the consistent development of approaches aimed at the virtual reconstruction of whole houses or archaeological monuments, the variety of technologies involved in virtual reconstruction procedures and the complexity of a rigorous process to provide validation models, seems to limit a univocal and shared standards adoption. For example, compared to the large number of contributions on the virtual reconstruction of whole architectures or cultural heritage sites, only a few works have proposed a rigorous workflow specific to mosaics and ancient floors and to their virtual reconstruction. The goal of this work is to present the first results on the virtual reconstruction of the…
