A wide variety of environmental records is necessary for analysing and understanding the complex Late Quaternary dynamics of permafrost-dominated Arctic landscapes. A NE Siberian periglacial key region was studied in detail using sediment records, remote sensing data, and terrain modelling, all incorporated in a geographical information system (GIS). The study area consists of the Bykovsky Peninsula and the adjacent Khorogor Valley in the Kharaulakh Ridge situated a few kilometres southeast of the Lena Delta. In this study a comprehensive cryolithological database containing information from 176 sites was compiled. The information from these sites is based on the review of previously published borehole data, outcrop profiles, surface samples, and our own field data. These archives cover depositional records of three periods: from Pliocene to Early Pleistocene, the Late Pleistocene and the Holocene. The main sediment sequences on the Bykovsky Peninsula consist of up to 50 m thick ice-rich permafrost deposits (Ice Complex) that were accumulated during the Late Pleistocene. They were formed as a result of nival processes around extensive snowfields in the Kharaulakh Ridge, slope processes in these mountains (such as in the Khorogor Valley), and alluvial/proluvial sedimentation in a flat accumulation plain dominated by polygonal tundra in the mountain foreland (Bykovsky Peninsula). During the early to middle Holocene warming, a general landscape transformation occurred from an extensive Late Pleistocene accumulation plain to a strongly thermokarst-dominated relief dissected by numerous depressions. Thermokarst subsidence had an enormous influence on the periglacial hydrological patterns, the sediment deposition, and on the composition and distribution of habitats. Climate deterioration, lake drainage, and talik refreezing occurred during the middle to late Holocene. The investigated region was reached by the post-glacial sea level rise during the middle Holocene, triggering thermo-abrasion of ice-rich coasts and the marine inundation of thermokarst depressions.

Cape Roberts Project drill core 3 (CRP-3) was obtained from Roberts ridge, a sea-floor high located at 77°S, 12 km offshore from Cape Roberts in western McMurdo Sound, Antarctica. The recovered core is about 939 m long and comprises strata dated as being early Oligocene (possibly latest Eocene) in age, resting unconformably on ~116 m of basement rocks consisting of Palaeozoic Beacon Supergroup sediments. The core includes ten facies commonly occurring in five major associations that are repeated in particular sequences throughout the core and which are interpreted as representing different depositional environments through time. Depositional systems inferred to be represented in the succession include: outer shelf, inner shelf, nearshore to shoreface each under iceberg influence, deltaic and/or grounding-line fan, and ice proximal-ice marginal-subglacial (mass flow/rainout diamictite/subglacial till) singly or in combination. The record is taken to represent the initial talus/alluvial fan setting of a glaciated rift margin adjacent to the block-uplifted Transantarctic Mountains. Development of a deltaic succession upcore was probably associated with the formation of palaeo-Mackay valley with temperate glaciers in its headwaters. At that stage glaciation was intense enough to support glaciers ending in the sea elsewhere along the coast, but a local glacier was fluctuating down to the sea by the time the youngest part of CRP-3 was being deposited. Changes in palaeoenvironmental interpretations in this youngest part of the core are used to estimate relative glacial proximity to the drillsite through time. These inferred glacial fluctuations are compared with the global d180 and Mg/Ca curves to evaluate the potential of glacial fluctuations on Antarctica for influencing these records of global change. Although the comparisons are tentative at present, the records do have similarities, but there are also some differences that require further evaluation.

During "Meteor" Cruise 6/1966 in the northwest Atlantic a systematic survey of the bottom topography of the southeast Greenland continental margin was undertaken. Eighty-seven profiles transverse to the shelf edge at distances of 3-4 nautical miles and two longitudinal profiles parallel to the coast were carried out with the ELAC Narrow Beam Echo-Sounder giving a reliable record of even steep slopes. On the basis of the echo soundings the topography and morphology of the continental shelf and slope are evaluated. A detailed bathymetric chart and a serial profile chart were designed as working material for the morphological research. These maps along with the original echograms are morphometrically evaluated. The analysis of the sea bottom features is the basis of a subsequent morphogenetical interpretation, verified and extended by means of interpretation of magnetic data and sediment analysis (grain size, roundness, lithology). The results of the research are expressed in a geomorphological map. The primary findings can be summarized as follows: 1) The southeast Greenland shelf by its bottom topography can be clearly designated as a glacially formed area. The glacial features of the shelf can be classified into two zones nearly parallel to the coast: glacial erosion forms on the inner shelf and glacial accumulation forms on the outer shelf. The inner shelf is characterized by the rugged and hummocky topography of ice scoured plains with clear west/east slope asymmetry. On the outer shelf three types of glacial accumulation forms can be recognized: ice margin deposits with clearly expressed terminal moraines, glacial till plains and glaciomarine outwash fans. Both zones of the shelf can be subdivided into two levels of relief. The ice scoured plains, with average depths of 240 meters (m), are dissected to a maximum depth of 1060 m (Gyldenloves Trough) by trough valleys, which are the prolongations of the Greenland fjords. The banks of the outer shelf, with an average depth of 180 m, surround glacial basins with a maximum depth of 670 meters. 2) The sediments of the continental shelf can be classified as glacial due to their grain size distribution and the degree of roundness of the gravel particles. The ice margin deposits on the outer shelf can be recognized by their high percentage of gravels. On the inner shelf a rock surface is suggested, intermittently covered by glacial deposits. In the shelf troughs fine-grained sediments occur mixed with gravels. 3) Topography and sediments show that the southeast Greenland shelf was covered by an ice sheet resting on the sea floor during the Pleistocene ice-age. The large end moraines along the shelf edge probably indicate the maximum extent of the Wurm shelf ice resting on the sea floor. The breakthroughs of the end moraines in front of the glacial basins suggest that the shelf ice has floated further seaward over the increasing depths. 4) Petrographically the shelf sediments consist of gneisses, granites and basalts. While gneisses and granites occire on the nearby coast, basalt is not known to exist here. Either this material has been drifted by icebergs from the basalt province to the north or exists on the southeast Greenland shelf itself. The last interpretation is supported bythe high portion of basalt contained in the sediment samples taken and the strong magnetic anomalies probably caused by basaltic intrusions. 5) A magnetic profile allows the recognition of two magnetically differing areas which approximately coincide with the glacial erosion and accumulation zones. The inner shelf shows a strong and variable magnetic field because the glacially eroded basement forms the sea floor. The outer shelf is characterized by a weak and homogenous magnetic field, as the magnetized basement lies at greater depthy, buried by a thick cover of glacial sediments. The strong magnetic anomalies of the inner shelf are probably caused by dike swarms, similar to those observed further to the north in the Kangerdlugssuaq Fjord region. This interpretation is supported by the high basalt content of the sediment samples and the rough topography of the ice scoured plains which correlates in general with the magnetic fluctuations. The dike structures of the basement have been differentially eroded by the shelf ice. 6) The continental slope, extending from the shelf break at 313 m to a depth of 1270 m with an average slope of 11°, is characterized by delta-shaped projections in front of the shelf basins, by marginal plateaus, ridges and hills, by canyons and slumping features. The projections could be identified as glaciomarine sediment fans. This conclusion is supported by the strong decrease of magnetic field intensity. The deep sea hills and ridges with their greater magnetic intensities have to be regarded as basement outcrops projecting through the glaciomarine sediment cover. The upper continental rise, sloping seaward at about 2°, is composed of wide sediment fans and slump material. A marginal depression on the continental rise running parallel to the shelf edge has been identified. In this depression bottom currents capable of erosion have been recorded. South of Cape Farvel the depression extends to the accumulation zone of the "Eirik" sedimentary ridge. 7) By means of a study of the recent marine processes, postglacial modification of the ice-formed relief can be postulated. The retention effect of the fjord troughs and the high velocity of the East Greenland stream prevents the glacial features from being buried by sediments. Bottom currents capable of active erosion have only been found in the marginal depression on the continental rise. In addition, at the time of the lowest glacio-eustatic sea level, the shelf bottom was not situated in the zone of wave erosion. Only on the continental slope and rise bottom currents, sediment slumps and turbidity currents have led to significant recent modifications. Considering these results, the geomorphological development of the southeast Greenland continental terrace can be suggested as follows: 1. initial formation of a "peneplain", 2. fluvial incision, 3. submergence, and finally 4. glacial modification.

La creciente demanda, en los últimos años, a nivel mundial y nacional de los productos deshidratados hace que esta actividad se perfile como promisoria en la región cuyana. Prácticamente el 100 % de la deshidratación de cebolla (Allium cepa L.) del país se realiza en Mendoza, habiendose hecho sólo producciones aisladas y de escaso volúmen en otras plantas del país. Las estimaciones preveen que se seguirá abasteciendo el mercado local y se incrementaránlas exportaciones de cebolla deshidratada. El objetivo general del presente trabajo fue establecer la influencia de la fertilización y el riego sobre la productividad y calidad de un cultivar mejorado de cebolla de importancia económica para la industria del deshidratado. En el Campo Experimental del INTA La Consulta se llevaron a cabo durante los años 1994-´95 y 1995-´96, dos ciclos de ensayos, con una línea de cebolla para deshidratar derivada del cultivar Southport White Globe. El suelo es de origen aluvial, profundo y de textura franca (Torrifluvente típico). Se determinaron los principales parámetros físicos, químicos e hídricos de la fracción fina del suelo. Para determinar el efecto de la fertilización sobre componentes de crecimiento y calidad y estudiar la variación de la concentración y ritmo de absorción de nutrimentos se ensayaron diferentes tratamientos. En el primer ciclo se ensayaron nueve tratamientos con tres niveles de N (0, 100, 200 kg N ha-1 ) aplicado como urea y tres niveles de P (0, 30, 60 kg P ha-1 ) como superfosfato. En el segundo ciclo se probaron ocho tratamientos con los siguientes niveles de N, P y K, respectivamente: (0 y 100 kg N ha-1), (0 y 40 kg P ha-1) y (0 y 60 kg K ha-1), éste último como sulfato de potasio. Para evaluar el efecto de diferentes regímenes de riego al final del ciclo de cultivo sobre la produccción cuantitativa y cualitativa de cebolla para la industria del deshidratado se programaron cortes anticipados de riegos, según diferentes fechas anteriores a la cosecha. Estas fueron para el primero y segundo ciclo de ensayo, respectivamente: (33, 27, 21, 8) y (21,14, 7) días anteriores a la fecha de cosecha estimada. Las principales conclusiones fueron: A) Con respecto a la fertilización: i) En todos los casos, e independientemente del tratamiento ensayado el mayor incremento relativo de sustancia seca aérea se evidencia durante la II fase de viii desarrollo que tiene lugar entre los primeros días de noviembre y mediados de diciembre ii) En dicha II fase se comienzan a manifestar incrementos absolutos de peso seco aéreo y área foliar atribuibles a la fertilización iii) También en todos los tratamientos se verifica que al finalizar la II fase el peso de los bulbos alcanza el 20 % de su peso de cosecha. En ese momento, los valores determinados para el porcentaje de sólidos totales (% ST) oscilan entre 13 % y 14 % iv) La mayor tasa de crecimiento del bulbo se constató en la III fase en la que se logra el 80% restante de su peso final v) En la III fase el % ST del bulbo sigue en aumento hasta casi el momento de cosecha y alcanzó valores promedios de 20 % y 21 %. La fertilización con diferentes dosis de N, P y K no influyó en el contenido de materia seca de los bulbos aunque sí lo hizo positivamente sobre su peso fresco vi) Los máximos rendimientos de bulbos (37.3 Mg ha-1) y de materia seca (7.92 Mg ha-1) se obtuvieron, en el segundo ciclo de ensayo, con las dosis de 100 kg N ha-1 y 40 kg P ha-1 vii) Los parámetros tisulares aéreos de valor diagnóstico asociados a máximosrendimientos, y al final de la II fase, correspondieron a una Alimentación Global (N, P, K) de 4.96 g % g s. seca y concentraciones de N, P y K respectivamente de: 2.56 g %, 0.22 g % y 2.18 g %. En cuanto a los tenores de Ca y Mg los porcentajes respectivos fueron: 2.10 g % y 0.16 g %. Los valores medios de equilibrios nutricionales fueron: N - P - K: 52 % - 4% - 44%. Con respecto a los micronutrimentos sus concentraciones fueron, en mg kg-1, Fe: 400, Zn: 55, Mn: 35 y Cu:19 y los valores de equilibrios nutricionales : 78.5 % - 11 % - 7 % - 3.5 %, respectivamente viii) La extracción total efectuada por el cultivo para esas máximas producciones, en kg ha-1, de N - P - K - Ca - Mg fueron: 214 - 40 -187 - 184 -19 B) Con respecto a los regímenes de riego: i) El rendimiento máximo obtenido -38.9 Mg ha-1- en el ensayo de cortes anticipados de riego correspondió al tratamiento R7 del ciclo 1995-‘96 ii) El mismo perteneció al tratamiento, que además de la fertilización básica con 100 kg N ha-1, aseguró durante los meses de noviembre, diciembre y enero, ix hasta siete días antes de cosecha, una humedad edáfica mínima (umbral de riego) correspondiente al 50 % del agua disponible. Este tratamiento se caracterizó por un total de 18 riegos y una incorporación de agua de 6120 m3 ha-1. iii) Los rendimientos totales de materia seca fueron afectados detrimentalmente por los otros regímenes de riego de cortes más anticipados iv) Se constató una relación lineal positiva altamente ignificativa entre el rendimiento y la lámina total de agua aplicada al cultivo.

La provincia de Mendoza tiene la mayor superficie regada de Argentina y cuenta con una vasta infraestructura de riego y drenaje en los cinco ríos aprovechados. Los suelos son de origen aluvial, con perfiles que alternan capas de distintas texturas, observándose la presencia de estratos muy finos -casi impermeables- que impiden el libre drenaje del agua de riego. Esta situación dinámica es más evidente a medida que el río disminuye su pendiente coincidiendo con los sectores bajos de la cuenca. La acumulación de agua produce el ascenso de los niveles freáticos hasta aproximarse a la superficie del suelo, incrementando la salinización del mismo. El área de riego del río Mendoza, con valores de salinidad media del agua en su derivación hacia la red de riego menor de 1 dS.m-1, es una de las más intensamente explotadas del país y presenta dos sectores con problemas de freática cercana a superficie. Los mismos corresponden a una zona central llamada Área de Surgencia AS y a otra llamada Área Lavalle AL. En AS hay una red de 98 pozos de observación (freatímetros) para conocer las profundidades, direcciones de flujos y calidad del agua freática. El AL tiene una red de 100 freatímetros distribuidos en tres subáreas correspondientes a tres colectores de drenajes: Tres de Mayo-Jocolí TMJ, Villa Lavalle VL y Costa de Araujo-Gustavo André CG. El presente trabajo muestra los resultados de la evaluación de la salinidad del agua freática expresada como salinidad total a 25 °C (CE) para las dos áreas de estudio. Las muestras han sido extraídas en 2002 y 2004. Los resultados indican que en los dos momentos de muestreo la mediana es menor que la media correspondiente, lo que evidencia asimetría positiva en las distribuciones. Las medianas obtenidas fueron: 6180 μS cm-1 (2002) y 6195 μS cm-1 (2004). Además se observan cambios en las distribuciones entre los momentos de muestreo y entre las áreas: en 2004 aparecen valores extremos superiores mucho mayores que en 2002, y el área VL acusa frecuencias relativas más uniformes y los mayores incrementos de CE. Se distingue también que en los dos momentos de muestreo el área AS posee los valores de posición de CE más bajos, aunque también es la zona con mayor cantidad de outliers; las áreas TMJ, CG y AS no han sufrido cambios importantes en los valores de CE en dos años, pero sí se advierte un sensible aumento de la CE en VL. Con la base de datos depurados se realizaron isolíneas para diferentes intervalos de la variable analizada (CE) que muestran espacialmente los sectores afectados con los distintos intervalos de salinidad freática.

New stratigraphic and high-resolution seismic data from the Bengal Fan indicate that the world's largest fan shows active growth during the most recent sea-level rise and the recent highstand. This unique phenomenon contradicts common sequence-stratigraphic models, and the sediment preserved provides new insight into the sedimentological response of a fan system to sea-level rise, climatic terminations, and monsoon intensity during the past climatic cycle. We present a detailed dated sequence of turbidite sedimentation based on a core transect perpendicular to the active channel-levee system in the upper mid-fan area. Between the two major terminations 1a (12 800 14C yr B.P.) and 1b (9700 14C yr B.P.), and especially at the end of the Younger Dryas, a 13-km-wide channel built up levees 50 m high. With decreasing sediment supply, continued sea-level rise, and increasing monsoon intensity during the early Holocene, turbidity currents were confined to the channel and gradually filled it. The canyon "Swatch of No Ground," a shelf depocenter that serves as the source for frequent turbidity currents, and the channel-levee system provide the unique opportunity for studying an active highstand system. Many fans showed this behavior only during lowered sea-level.

The book presents results of comprehensive geological investigations carried out during Cruise 8 of R/V "Vityaz-2" to the western part of the Black Sea in 1984. Systematic studies in the Black Sea during about hundred years have not weakened interest in the sea. Lithological and geochemical studies of sediments in estuarine areas of the Danube and the Kyzyl-Irmak rivers, as well as in adjacent parts of the deep sea and some other areas were the main aims of the cruise. Data on morphological structures of river fans, lithologic and chemical compositions of sediments in the fans and their areal distribution, forms of occurrence of chemical elements, role of organic matter and gases in sedimentation and diagenesis are given and discussed in the book.

Cartucho. Relatos de la lucha en el norte de México de Nellie Campobello es un libro excepcional que debido a su posicionamiento político y a la originalidad de su propuesta estética ha sido ignorado y despreciado, siempre a la sombra de los textos canónicos de la literatura de la revolución mexicana. Leemos el texto de Campobello bajo las claves del testimonio y de la autobiografía. Su construcción de una mirada infantil para contar desde una perspectiva villista los enfrentamientos en el norte revolucionario implica un rechazo del registro realista así como la indagación de una reescritura poética-política que recrea una memoria radical, a-moral y provocativa de los hechos de la revolución.

Se aplicó el concepto de ecohidrología en dos cuencas: río Paraná Inferior y Arroyo Durazno con el objeto de estudiar las respuestas biogeoquímicas en ambos sistemas diferenciados por área de drenaje, magnitud de caudal y uso de la tierra. La primera presenta una amplia llanura aluvial (12.350 km2) vegetada por macrófitas. Durante las crecientes estivales, las condiciones favorecen la denitrificación en humedales y disminución de nitratos en cauce principal, siendo el intervalo de mayor frecuencia 25-108,3 μg N-NO3 -/l en aguas altas y 191,6-274,9 μg N-NO3 -/l en aguas bajas. Durante una creciente invernal (El Niño 1991-1992) se detectó correlación positiva significativa entre concentraciones de nitratos y amonio y altura hidrométrica. El arroyo Durazno (360 km2) no recibe aporte directo de contaminantes y presenta una rápida respuesta ante un evento de precipitación. En las primeras horas de la tormenta las concentraciones de nitratos y fósforo reactivo soluble (PRS) fueron mayores que al finalizar, debido al aporte por escorrentía. Los resultados revelan el efecto del valle aluvial sobre la hidroquímica de los cauces principales. El análisis muestra que cambios en componentes del ciclo hidrológico y/o en el uso de la tierra podrían alterar la calidad de aguas aun en cuencas de extensiones y caudales diferentes.

En la zona norte de la provincia de Mendoza se desarrollan actividades que pueden afectar la calidad natural del agua subterránea: disposición y re-uso de efluentes industriales para riego agrícola, utilización de fertilizantes, saneamiento in-situ, fugas de redes de alcantarillado, etc. En esta región, surcada superficialmente por los ríos Mendoza y Tunuyán, la sedimentación cuaternaria determinó la formación de dos grandes unidades hidrogeológicas: acuíferos libres (sector de conos aluviales), y acuífero freático superior y acuíferos subyacentes confinados y/o semiconfinados. El área de estudio se encuentra ubicada en esta última unidad hidrogeológica donde se ha detectado contaminación de acuíferos por nitratos. El objetivo de este trabajo es identificar el origen de la contaminación, utilizando metodología hidroquímica mediante la evaluación de diversos parámetros físicoquímicos y biológicos, y técnicas isotópicas para corroborar la procedencia del agua subterránea y el origen de los nitratos. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que la presencia de nitratos en los acuíferos semiconfinado y confinado no proviene de la influencia del acuífero libre suprayacente, afectado por el re-uso de efluentes, sino que se relaciona con el ingreso de flujo horizontal de aguas subterráneas contaminadas provenientes del área del Gran Mendoza, debido a las pérdidas en las redes de alcantarillado y obras de saneamiento in situ.

yResults of 13 field investigations between 1966 and 1990 of the southwestern to eastern margin of Kötlujökull and its proglacial area are summarized with respect to sandar and their formation. Generally, the results are based on sedimentological examinations in the field and laboratory, on analyses of aerial photographs, and investigations of the glacier slope. The methods permitted a more detailed reconstruction of sandar evolution in the proglacial area of Kötlujökull since 1945, of tendencies in development and of single data going back until the last decades of the 19th century. Accordingly, there existed special periods of "flachsander"-formations with raised coarsegrained "sanderwurzels" resultant from the outbreak of subglacial meltwater tunneloutlets and other periods with "hochsander-"formations by supraglacial drainage. At present the belts of hochsanders in front of the glacier come up to more than 4 m in thickness and 1000 m in width, therefore containing perhaps more sediment direct in front of Kötlujökull than the old belts of flachsanderwurzels. In one case the explosion-like subglacial meltwater outburst combined with the genesis of a sanderwurzel could be observed for a time and is thoroughly discussed. The event is referred to the outburst of a sub- to inglacial meltwater body being under extreme hydrostatic press ures which is combined with the genesis of a new subglacial tunneloutlet as a new flachsander. Often these outbursts led to the destruction of a morainic belt more than 1000 m in width. Presumably the whole event was finished in not more than a few days. In addition to a characteristic pear-shaped form and water-moved stones up to diameters of 1 m the wurzels possess a single "main-channel" with rectangular cross-sections as far as 4 m deep and 50 m wide just as small flat channels resembling fish bones in connection with the main channel. Presumably, they have been active only in the last stage of wurzel formation. With regard to the subglacial tunnel gates long-living L-meltwater outlets are distinguished from short-living K-meltwater outlets. These are always combined with a raised coarse-grained sanderwurzel, but its meltwater discharge is generally decreasing and ceases after some years, whereas the discharge of L-meltwater outlets continues unchanged for long times (except seasonal differences). The material of flachsanders is preponderantly composed of mugearitic and andesitic cobble extending at least for some kilometres from the glacier margin, whereas the hochsanders correspond to medium to coarse sands without clay and without alternations into the direction of flow. The hochsander fans are covered with small braidet channels. Their sedimentary structures are determined by the short time changing of supraglacial meltwater discharge and the upper flow regime combined with the development of antidunes, which rule the channel-flows during the main activity periods in summer. Unlike the subglacial drainage the supraglacial drainage led to only weak effects of erosion on the glacier foreland. So the hochsanders refilled depressions of morainic areas or grew up on older flachsanderwurzels. Whereas all large flachsanders developed in front of approximate stationary glacier margins, the evolution of coherent belts of hochsanders were combined with progressive glacier fronts. On the other hand, there was obviously no evolution at all of large sandar in front of back-melting margins of Kötlujökull. Based on examinations of the glacier surface and on analyses of aerial photographs the different types of sandar are referred to different structures of the glacier snout. Finally chances of surviving of sandar in the proglacial area of Kötlujökull are shortly discussed just as the possibility of an application of the Islandic research results on Pleistocene sandar in northern Germany.

This dataset presents Differential Global Positioning System data (DGPS) acquired within the Bossons glacier proglacial area. Bossons glacier is a rapidly retreating glacier and its proglacial area is deglaciated for ~30 years. Bossons stream is one of the outlets of the subglacial drainage system. It starts as a 800 m steep cascade reach, then flows through an area with gentler slope : the Plan des Eaux (PdE). PdE is a 300 m long, 50 m wide proglacial alluvial plain with an increasing channel mobility in the downstream direction but decreasing slope gradient and incision. As it may act a sediment trap, studying periglacial and proglacial erosion processes in the Bossons catchment requires to quantify PdE sediment volume evolution. A several meter-sized block located within Bossons proglacial area was set up as GPS base : its location was measured by one antenna (Topcon Hyper Pro) by performing 600 consecutive measurements throughout one day. A second antenna (Topcon Hyper Pro) was then used to measure XYZ location of points in the proglacial area with a ~2 m grid. Radio communication between the two antennas allowed differential calculations to be automatically carried out on field using the Topcon FC-250 hand controller. This methodology yields 3 cm XY and 1.5 cm Z uncertainties. DGPS data have been acquired through 10 campaigns from 2004 to 2014; campaigns from 2004 to 2008 cover a smaller area than those from 2010 to 2014. Digital Elevation Model (DEM) have been interpolated from DGPS data and difference between two DEMs yields deposited and eroded volume within PdE. Maps of PdE volume variation between two campaigns show that incision mainly occurs in the upper and lower sections where as deposition dominates in the middle section. Deposition, denudation and net rate (deposition rate - denudation rate) are calculated by normalizing volumes by DEM areas. Deposition dominates results with a mean net rate of 29 mm/yr. However, strong inter-annual variability exists and some years are dominated by denudation : -36 mm/yr and -100 mm/yr for 2006 and 2011, respectively. Nonetheless, oldest campaigns (2004 to 2008) were carried out on the lower part part of the alluvial plain and ruling them out to keep only complete DEM (2010 to 2014) yields a mean net rate of ~15 mm/yr. This results is coherent with field observations of both strong deposition (e.g. flood deposits) and strong erosion (e.g. 30 cm incision) evidences. Bossons glacier proglacial area is thus dynamic with year-to-year geormorphological changes but may leans toward increasing its mean elevation through a deposition dominated system.

Colombia has oceanic waters, catchment areas, like lakes, cienagas and swamps, water flows, like rivers, gorges and streams, small rivers and groundwater. The oceanic waters are the Caribbean Sea-1600 km and the Pacific Ocean-1300 km that comprise the north and west continental territory, respectively. Actually the Region of Darién, geographically bounded by the Carribean Sea to the north is becoming to be focused by studies due to use conflicts and disputes about water and a forest reserve on its territories. Considering its location, strategic at northwestern Colombia, frontier region with Central America, several dynamics are imposed. One of them is the implantation of a road system entitled Connecting Road of the Americas. This fact means the construction of an infra-structure that will cross a special zone formed by swamps and jungle known as The Darién Gap. Evidences of such interests are revealed by projects like the constructions of Turbo's Port in the Atlantic Ocean, Department of Antioquia and Tribugá's Port in the Pacific Ocean, Department of Choco, the mountain road and the coastal conection Colombia-Venezuela attending to the main intentions of the central region of the department (Metropolitan Area of Aburrá Valley-AMVA). Human settlements form a productive system, based on small and medium familiar agriculture's production, corresponding to the western portion and piedmont of Abibe's mountain at its antioquian portion, alluvial plan that forms the rivers on this area, the littoral zone that delimits the Carribean Sea, the Darién and Baudó Mountains and the gulf that receives, among other waters, the ones from Atrato and León, as well as the exodus process constitutes a forced exit resulting from actions of several armed groups. It can be identified intense historical, cultural, political and environmental relations, specially the last one associated with strategic ecosystems that are fundamental for the hydric regulation of the region, as well as food safety of the local inhabitants. Results from two researches (UPB, 2007 y 2010) reveals this quick transformation in the spatial re-configuration, demographical and economical indicators and the exacerbated fight for resources, damaging the extractive vocation in the Region. Path to commerce of illegalities (drugs, guns) and to implementation of the agroindustrial project for biofuel production, cooperation program that involves Venezuela, Brazil and Colombia. Appropriation modes allow the existence of strategies since global interests revealing a development logic that privileges the conception of an artificialized nature. Since the smallest portion of rural areas, specific modes of resources exploration are linked to imposed interests of transnational corporations. Disparate consequences are going deeper evidenced by social, technical and nature transformations, envisioning risks for the habitability's condition
