Estructura del basamento de la Cuenca Farallón al Sur del Golfo de California, mediante la interpretación de datos potenciales y sísmicos

Basement structure of the Farallon Basin at the south of the Gulf of California, through the interpretation of seismic and potential field data

Marco Antonio Bartens Olortegui (2013, [Tesis de maestría])

El Golfo de California es un rift continental activo con apertura oblicua y desplazamiento lateral derecho y es uno de los pocos ejemplos de un rift continental en la fase inicial donde los procesos de apertura activa se pueden estudiar a lo largo de un rift completo. En este escenario, establecer el límite entre basamento continental y oceánico es clave para entender los mecanismos tectónicos que actúan en esta etapa inicial del rift. Desafortunadamente, esta también es una tarea difícil debido a la presencia de corteza oceánica de nueva creación. El objetivo de este trabajo es el de identificar, delimitar y estimar espesores de la corteza oceánica y corteza continental en la cuenca Farallón. Para ellos se utilizaron datos de sísmica de reflexión multicanal 2D de alta resolucion tomados durante la expedicion Ulloa 2006, datos de anomlías gravimetricas tomados de la base de datos de la gravedad marina global obtenida por altimetría de radar relocalizada de los satélites Geosat y ERS-1. Para su interpretación se realizó modelado gravimetrico bidimensional a lo largo de cada perfil sísmico, seguido por una inversión 3D de los datos potenciales del área de la cuenca Farallón restringidos por los perfiles sísmicos interpretados. La corteza de característica oceánica se sitúa en el centro de la cuenca y se identifica principalmente por la concavidad de sus estructuras, interpretadas como sills en las secciones sísmicas, y por la elevada magnitud de la anomalía de Bouguer en el área. La corteza continental se localiza en los margenes oeste y este de la cuenca y se reconoce por la continuidad del reflector correspondiente y el significativo decremento de la anomalía de Bouguer. Tambien se identificaron: una corteza de naturaleza volcánica en el Macizo Farallón Sur (asociado a un reflector sísmico discontinuo de gran amplitud) y dos capas sobreyacientes de sedimentos, la más profunda afectada aparentemente por intrusiones magmáticas. Las profundidades interpretadas con los modelos gravimétricos indican que se tiene una corteza oceánica delgada al centro de la cuenca, con espesores mínimos de 2.5 km en el eje sur abandonado y 3 km en el eje de la dorsal, así como una corteza continental que se va engrosando gradualmente hacia el continente.

The Gulf of California is an active continental rift with an oblique and dextral opening displacement and it is one of the few examples of an initiating continental rift where active opening processes can be studied along a complete rift. In this scenary, establishing the boundary between continental and oceanic basement holds the key to fully understand the tectonic mechanisms acting on this initial rifting stage. Unfortunately, this is also a challenging task due to the presence of oceanic crust of new creation. The aim of this work is to identify, delineate and estimate the thickness of oceanic and continental crusts in the Farallón basin. For this purpose, they were used high-resolution 2D multichannel seismic reflection data from the Ulloa’s 2006 expedition along with gravity anomaly data from the global marine gravity database obtained by repositioned radar altimetry from Geosat and ERS-1 satellites. For their interpretation, two-dimensional gravity modeling was carried out along each seismic profile, followed by 3D inversion of potential field data from the Farallón basin area as constrained by the interpreted seismic profiles. The oceanic-like crust was located at the centre of the basin and is mainly identified by the concavity of their structures, interpreted as sills in the seismic sections, and the highamplitude of the Bouguer anomaly in the area. The continental crust is located in the western and eastern margins of the basin and it is distinguished by the relevant reflector’s continuity and the significant decrease of the Bouguer anomaly. They were also identified: a volcanic crust at the south of the Farallón Massif (associated to a prominent discontinuous seismic reflector) and two overlying sedimentary layers, the deepest one apparently affected by magmatic intrusions. The interpreted depths from the gravity models indicate that there is a thin oceanic crust at the center of the basin, with minimum thicknesses of 2.5 km in the abandoned south axis and 3 km in the dorsal axis, as well as a continental crust that gradually thickens towards the continent.

Vibrissa growth rate in California sea lions based on environmental and isotopic oscillations

MARTHA PATRICIA ROSAS HERNANDEZ (2018, [Artículo])

Pinniped vibrissae provide information on changes in diet at seasonal and annual scales; however, species-specific growth patterns must first be determined in order to interpret these data. In this study, a simple linear model was used to estimate the growth rate of vibrissae from adult female California sea lions (Zalophus californianus) from San Esteban Island in the Gulf of California, Mexico. The δ15N and δ13C values do not display a marked oscillatory pattern that would permit direct determination of the time period contained in each vibrissa; thus, time (age) was calculated in two ways: 1) based on the correlation between the observed number of peaks (Fourier series) in the δ15N profile and the length of each vibrissa, and 2) through direct comparison with the observed number of peaks in the δ15N profile. Cross-correlation confirmed that the two peaks in the δ15N profile reflected the two peaks in the chlorophyll-a concentration recorded annually around the island. The mean growth rate obtained from the correlation was 0.08 ± 0.01 mm d-1, while that calculated based on the observed number of peaks was 0.10 ± 0.05 mm d-1. Both are consistent with the rates reported for adult females of other otariid species (0.07 to 0.11 mm d-1). Vibrissa growth rates vary by individual, age, sex, and species; moreover, small differences in the growth rate can result in significant differences over the time periods represented by the isotopic signal. Thus, it is important to assess this parameter on a species-by-species basis. © 2018 Rosas-Hernández et al.

Do marine reserves increase prey for California sea lions and Pacific harbor seals?

ALEJANDRO ARIAS DEL RAZO (2019, [Artículo])

Community marine reserves are geographical areas closed to fishing activities, implemented and enforced by the same fishermen that fish around them. Their main objective is to recover commercial stocks of fish and invertebrates. While marine reserves have proven successful in many parts of the world, their success near important marine predator colonies, such as the California sea lion (Zalophus californianus) and the Pacific harbor seal (Phoca vitulina richardii), is yet to be analyzed. In response to the concerns expressed by local fishermen about the impact of the presence of pinnipeds on their communities’ marine reserves, we conducted underwater surveys around four islands in the Pacific west of the Baja California Peninsula: two without reserves (Todos Santos and San Roque); one with a recently established reserve (San Jeronimo); and, a fourth with reserves established eight years ago (Natividad). All these islands are subject to similar rates of exploitation by fishing cooperatives with exclusive rights. We estimated fish biomass and biodiversity in the seas around the islands, applying filters for potential California sea lion and harbor seal prey using known species from the literature. Generalized linear mixed models revealed that the age of the reserve has a significant positive effect on fish biomass, while the site (inside or outside of the reserve) did not, with a similar result found for the biomass of the prey of the California sea lion. Fish biodiversity was also higher around Natividad Island, while invertebrate biodiversity was higher around San Roque. These findings indicate that marine reserves increase overall fish diversity and biomass, despite the presence of top predators, even increasing the numbers of their potential prey. Community marine reserves may help to improve the resilience of marine mammals to climate-driven phenomena and maintain a healthy marine ecosystem for the benefit of both pinnipeds and fishermen. © 2019 Arias-Del-Razo et al.

Variaciones en un transecto profundo frente a la costa de Nayarit, México

Emilio Palacios Hernández Luis Brito Castillo LAURA ELENA CARRILLO BIBRIEZCA CARLOS EDUARDO CABRERA RAMOS JORGE MANUEL MONTES ARECHIGA (2022, [Artículo])

"Six oceanographic cruises in a NE-SW transect were made nearshore of southern Sinaloa and Nayarit from March 2006 through May 2008, where no in situ hydrographic data are available. Applying the Thermodynamic Equation of Seawater 2010 (TEOS-10) to the observations, the hydrography and geostrophic currents of the region were characterized. Results indicate that surface variability (0-50 m) emerged mainly from seasonal atmospheric forcing. A relative salinity maximum was present during all cruises below this surface layer, which is attributed to a water mass intrusion of Subtropical Subsurface Water that could be associated with the Mexican Coastal Current. Another water mass intrusion is from the California Current. Samples from the 2007-2008 La Niña produced an uncommon circulation, where water flowing from the Gulf of California along the coast of Sinaloa was observed, opposite to what is commonly known as a mean circulation. This uncommon circulation matches the generation of anticyclonic eddies around the Islas Marias archipelago."

Modelado y acoplamiento de la conductividad eléctrica e hidráulica a partir de tomografía de rocas

Modeling and coupling of electrical and hydraulic conductivity from rock tomography

Miguel Ángel Martínez Rodríguez (2022, [Tesis de maestría])

En este trabajo se emplearon técnicas de modelado numérico para simular el flujo de corriente eléctrica y de fluido a través de medios porosos con el fin de determinar el factor de resistividad y la permeabilidad, así como la distribución de los campos de densidad de corriente eléctrica y velocidad de flujo. Para el modelado de flujo eléctrico se desarrolló un algoritmo basado en diferencias finitas, mientras que para el modelado hidráulico se empleó una librería reportada en la literatura, basada en el método de redes de Boltzmann. En ambos esquemas de modelado se establecieron condiciones en la frontera poro-grano para modelar los procesos físicos exclusivamente en el espacio poroso. Los valores estimados de factor de resistividad y de permeabilidad, así como la porosidad, se emplearon para estudiar las correlaciones entre estas propiedades a través de relaciones petrofísicas. Para esto, se propuso una expresión que relaciona la permeabilidad y la porosidad y, empleando una relación existente entre el factor de resistividad y la porosidad, se propuso también una relación directa entre la permeabilidad y el factor de resistividad. Las relaciones propuestas fueron aplicadas a los valores numéricos obtenidos para paquetes de esferas generados numéricamente y se encontró que se ajustan mejor a los datos en comparación con las relaciones más comúnmente utilizadas, especialmente para porosidades altas. Se mostró también que estas relaciones petrofísicas toman la forma de las relaciones más comunes conocidas cuando se trata con porosidades bajas. Valores obtenidos de imágenes digitales de un paquete de esferas sintético y una muestra de dolomita mostraron que las expresiones para porosidades bajas son suficientes para ajustar datos de medios porosos con porosidades menores a un valor entre 0.3 y 0.4. Finalmente, se analizaron el factor de resistividad, la permeabilidad, las relaciones petrofísicas, y las distribuciones espaciales y estadísticas de los campos vectoriales de flujo se analizaron para comparar los fenómenos de transporte eléctrico e hidráulico, encontrando que algunos factores, como la porosidad efectiva, son importantes en ambos fenómenos de flujo; mientras que otros, como la adherencia del fluido a las paredes del poro, son particularmente relevantes para el flujo hidráulico.

In this work, numerical modeling techniques were used to simulate the flow of electric current and fluid through porous media in order to determine the resistivity factor and permeability, as well as the distribution of electric current density and flow velocity fields. For electric flow modeling, an algorithm based on finite differences was developed, while for hydraulic modeling, a library reported in the literature, based on lattice Boltzmann method, was used. In both modeling schemes, pore-grain boundary conditions were established to model the physical processes exclusively in the pore space. The estimated values of resistivity factor and permeability, as well as porosity, were used to study the correlations between these properties through petrophysical relationships. An expression relating permeability and porosity was proposed and, using an existing relationship between the resistivity factor and the porosity, a direct relation between permeability and resistivity factor was also proposed. The proposed relations were applied to data obtained for numerically generated sphere packs and were found to fit the data better than the most commonly used relationships, especially for high porosities. It was also shown that these petrophysical relationships take the form of the most common relationships known when dealing with low porosities. Modeling data on digital images of a synthetic sphere pack and a dolomite sample showed that the expressions for low porosities are sufficient to fit data from porous media with porosities lower than 0.3 to 0.4. Finally, resistivity factors, permeabilities, petrophysical relationships, and spatial and statistical distributions of flow vector fields were analyzed to compare electrical and hydraulic transport phenomena, finding that some factors, such as the effective porosity, are important in both flow phenomena; whereas some other, such as the pore-wall adherence, are particularly relevant to hidraulic flux.

Política de lo materno de dirigentes barriales en el espacio público

David Luján Veron ANÍBAL PÉREZ CONTRERAS (2023, [Artículo])

"En este artículo se analiza un conjunto de relatos de dirigentes vecinales, recabados a partir de dos investigaciones doctorales concluidas, con el objetivo de desvelar los distintos modos en que las mujeres invocan roles tradicionalmente asociados a lo femenino —protección, cuidado, maternidad— para legitimarse en el espacio público y participar en la política local. Se argumentará que las mujeres observadas participan en la configuración de una “política de lo materno” que, pese a reforzar estereotipos tradicionales sobre el rol de las mujeres, constituye un reservorio de experiencias, aprendizajes y prácticas que pueden ser leídas en clave de politización y construcción de ciudadanía".

Socio-spatial segregation of socio-environmental assets of public green spaces in the city of Durango, Mexico

Carlos Alejandro Custodio González Tania Ortiz Patricia Catalina Medina Pérez (2024, [Artículo, Artículo])

The current development model's accumulation logic has resulted in the emergence and consolidation of social processes like segregation, leading to differentiated access and availability of urban goods and services among social groups based on socioeconomic, ethnic, or societal standing. The current development model's accumulation logic has resulted in the emergence and consolidation of social processes like segregation, leading to differentiated access and availability of urban goods and services among social groups based on socioeconomic, ethnic, or societal standing. This disparity impacts employment levels, educational performance, urban decay, and environmental degradation. In this context, the article aims to examine the socio-spatial segregation in the access to socio-environmental amenities provided by public green spaces (EVP) in a medium-sized city, specifically Durango, Mexico. The analysis utilizes spatial analysis and statistical methods that involve five variables associated with EVPs: surface area, percentage, number, density, and the socioeconomic level of the population. A spatial pattern of segregation was identified through these variables, resulting in four clusters that impact how the city of Durango is inhabited, produced, reproduced, lived, and constructed.
