TO BE POSTED
Dear colleagues
         Beginning in August we will have new stuff added to the Caribbean PT
Web Page, with the new address at utig site. Some improvements will be as
follow:
         1. A comparison of L. Cretaceous and E. Tertiary recontruction from
different authors.
         2. Reconstruction as a whole by some authors.  (Here we need your
imput. If you want to see your model in the page, plesase send a compact
version to Robert Rogers (rrogers@..., so he will be able to add
it
to the site).
         3. We will have an updated version of references for Caribbean area
thanks to Lisa Gahagan.  She is willing to keep updating the list, but will
need your support.  In the web page you will find the way she needs the
references of your papers as they became published, so she can easely add them
to the list.  Please we only want published papers (no abstract no unpublished
reports).
         4. You will find a new version of the project proposal for UNESCO/IUGS.
We will be sending this proposal to UNESCO in September, 1999.  I urgently need
new letters of support, just over the email.  Just say that you are willing to
participate in the Project and sent the email to iturralde@... before
September 15.
         5. In the webpage we will have a list of persons, email address and
projects ongoing in the Caribbean area, according to the information sent by
many of you. If somebody else wants to be included in this list, please report
to me and to rrogers at your early convenience.  A single parragraph is
sufficient.
         6. Please, after reading the new version of our webpage, send us any
comment or information that you think must be included.
         7. Regarding the Symposium about the Caribbean Plate that we are
organizing for the 31 IGC in Rio, it is my pleasure to inform you that we have
already two special presentations, one by Pindell and Barrett and another by M.
Meschede. I am also working with Lisa Gahagan in an animated version of a
Caribbean plate model. Please see the second circular for more information.
         8. Unfortunately, despite every effort, we have had few scientist from
the Central American and northern South American areas joining the project and
group. We hope that this will change in the future.

         This is all for now.  In due time you will be informed when the updated
webpage will become available.

Please do not contact me at this address, as I am traveling tomorrow. I am not
wired right now!

best regards

Manuel Iturralde-Vinent

Manuel,
You spent 25 years studying Cuban geology, and you did not see those
beautiful volcanoes? Now the question is who had too much Cuban Rum?
Probably the guy does not even know where the island is.
Cheers,

Estimado Manuel


     Funvisis (Fundación Venezolana de Investigaciones Sismológicas,
Caracas-Venezuela) tiene proyectos permanentes, por más de 20 años, de
evaluación del riesgo sísmico a nivel nacional, con asesoría a paises
latinoamericanos vecinos (principalmente Colombia). Esta actividad cubre los
siguientes campos:
     - mapeo de fallamiento y plegamiento activo o potencialmente activo (con
capacidad sismogénica)
     - Observación sismológica del territorio (Monitoreo actividad sísmica)
     - asociación sismotectónica (relación estructuras geológicas vs
actividad sísmica)
     - estudio de campo de esfuerzos por vía microtectónica (evaluación de
planos de falla) y de soluciones al mecanismo focal
     - evaluación macrosísmica de terremotos: mapas de intensidades MMI (ej.:
San Josecito 1981, El Pilar 1986, Boca de Tocuyo 1989, Curarigua 1991, Nula
1994, Arangues 1995, entre otros) y de rupturas cosísmicas (ej. Sismo de
Cariaco de 1997)
     - efectos inducidos por la sismicidad (inestabilidad de laderas y
licuación de suelos)
     - efectos de sitios (atenuación y amplificación de la señal sísmica)
     - amenaza sísmica: caracterización sismogénica de las estructuras
geológicas activas (Sismo máximo probable y périodo de retorno)
     - estudios de sismicidad histórica (evaluación de sismos históricos a
través de reseñas y documentos)
     - estudios paleosismológicos por intermedio de trincheras a través de
fallas activas (evaluación de sismos prehistóricos: Paleosismología)
     - Macrozonificación sísmica en términos de excedencia del PGA (Peak
Ground Acceleration)
     - Microzonificación sísmica en base a efectos locales de sitio e
inducidos por la sismicidad, generalmente aplicado a cascos urbanos
(ciudades como: El Vigia, Caracas, Cariaco, Barquisimeto)


     Esperando que esta información te sea de alguna utilidad

     Un abrazo

Adicional a este mensaje enviado hace una semana, he recordado dos puntos
adicionales:

- además de preocuparnos por la tectónica activa del margen sur caribeño,
hemos iniciado estudios de evolución cenozoica del margen meridional caribe
y
- estamos colaborando con el Dpt. of Civil Engineering and Geological
Sciences (CEGEOS) of the University of Notre Dame-Indiana (tesis doctoral de
srta. McGinnis bajo la tutoría del Dr. Clive Neal) en la evaluación de la
afinidad de las rocas volcánicas y ultramáficas mesozoicas y cenozoicas de
dicho margen. Particularmente, estoy interesado en las intrusivas basálticas
de menos de 20 ma.

Saludos

Dear Manuel Iturralde Vinent,
The following is our information.
Q> Are you working in some project related to Caribbean geology?
JGI, Inc.(formaer name is JAPEX Geoscience Institute) has been working in
the project for Honduran Government.

Q> What is the area and scope of the project?
The covered area is basically offshore Caribbean coast of Honduras.
We try to make an arrangement on the geological data in the government and
to evaluate the up-to-date hydrocarbon potentiality for offshore, Honduras.
Our report entitled "Preliminary Assessment of Hydrocarbon Potential in
Honduras" will be published by the Honduran Government.

Estimado Giusseppe
	 Gracias por tu colaboracion. Ya son 22 las personas que han
mandado la informacion, lo cual es muy bueno.
Debes mandar el resumen de tu ponencia al secretario cientifico
del congreso, siguiendo el formato que indica la circul;ar  del
evento.
Te recomiendo ver la segunda circular del evento de Brazil y
tambien en la pagina web del proyecto CARIB-PT, Fijate que la
direccuion de la pagina web cambio a como se indica abajo.

Estimado Manuel,
incluio (en attached y en copia en este email) un pequeno informe sobre las
tuyas preguntas. Espero que llege !!
Quisera preguntarte tambien sobre Brazil 2000; Nosotros estamos preparando
un abstract para enviarlo en el final de Agosto. En cual symposio o
workshop eso debria ser incluido ?? Tenemos un workshop para Caribe ??

Muchas gracias por trabajar para todos nosotros. Un abrazo.

Title of the Project  (active since more than 8 years):
The evolution of the Caribbean Plate  deformed margins (Mesozoic-Early
Tertiary) based on the Tectonic and Petrology of the pericaribbean
ophiolitic units.

Area of the project:
The main caribbean margins in Northern Venezuela (Sistema Montanoso del
Caribe), Guatemala (Motagua Suture Zone), Cuba, Hispaniola (Central and
Northern Cordilleras), Costarica (S. Elena, Nicoya complexes).

Scope of the project:
To study the main  sectors of the caribbean margins which involve
ophiolitic units from the structural and petrological point of view, in the
aim to better reconstruct the magma affinities, the deformation  pattern
and the metamorphic history for a model of the gedynamic evolution of the
Plate since the protocaribbean ( Jurassic-Cretaceous) up to the eocaribbean
(Cretaceous-Paleocene) phases.

Team partecipants :
Dipart. Geologia of University of Palermo  (G.Giunta, D.Mortillaro)
Inst. of Mineralogy of Univ. of Ferrara  (L.Beccaluva, M.Coltorti, F.Siena)
Dipart. of Hearth Sc. of Univ; of Firenze  (M.Marcucci, G.Principi)

  Main collaborations:
Escuela Geologia Universidad Central Caracas  ( M.Castillejo, etc)
ICAITI  Guatemala (G.Dengo, etc)
Escuela Centramericana Geologia Univ. Costa Rica (W.Montero, etc)
Academia Ciencias de Cuba (M.Iturralde V., etc)
Direccion Geologia Min.En. Minas Dominican Republic (I.Tavarez, etc)
etc.

List of recent activities:
-before 1995- field trips and sampling in the whole Carib.Pl. margins
-1995- First italo-latinamerican geological meeting on "Ophiolites of the
Caribbean Plate Margins in Venezuela and Cuba"
-1995- 2° field trip on central Cuban ophiolites
-1995- 2° field trip on Nicoya and S.Elena complexes of Costarica
-1996- 2° field trip on Dominican Rep. Ophiolites
-1996- 7° field trip on the ophiolites of Venezolan island including Margarita
-1997- attend to the VIII Congreso Venezolano de Geologia, presenting a
work about new interpretations of some units of Margarita and  Cordilleras
inlands
-1997- 8° field trip on the ophiolites of northern Venezuela and Trinidad island
-1998- Caribbean Geological Conference and IGCP 364-Kingston Jamaica
-1999- 3° field trip on the Dominican Republic, and Puertorico ophiolitic
complexes;
- in Italy have been prepared  papers on the main results in progres of the
researches,  presented and published in some international meetings and
review.

The next supposed activities will be:
-1999- beginning to organize the 2° italian-latinamerican geological
meeting on the Motagua Belt of GuatemAla and Nicoya-S.Elena Costarica .I
hope that the meeting can be organized togheter with the new IGCP CARIB-PT,
starting to work of a new italian Wgroup on the comparison between
Caribbean and Mediterranean  ophiolites.
- 1999- field trip and little meeting in Cuba (if M. Iturralde V. agrees it).
- 2000- to attend at Brazil 2000 presenting a note on the last results of
our researches on the caribean geo;ogy.

Manuel:

I am working on several projects:
1. Together with Simon Mitchell who is remapping the Central Inlier
(cretaceous) of Jamaica, we are conducting mineral and rock chemistry
analyses of the volcanic rocks in the inlier.
2. Richard Robertson and I are mapping and analysing the pre-Soufriere
volcanic rocks of St. Vincent. This is for Richard's PhD.
3. I am also examining microprobe data I have for the Sans Souci volcanic
rocks of the Northern range of Trinidad as well as REE whole rock
analyses.

Hola Manuel:

	 En el Depto Paleontologia Vertebrados del Museo de La Plata, somo tres
paleoherpetologos los que estamos estudiando  los reptiles marinos del
Oxfordiano de Cuba. Ellos son: Marta Fernandez (ictiosaurios), Marcelo de
la Fuente (tortugas) y yo (cocodrilos y plesiosaurios, estos ultimos con la
colaboracion de Nathalie Bardet del Museum National d Histoire Naturelle de
Paris).

	 Desde hace varios anios estamos  explorando y estudiando los reptiles
marinos  jurasicos del  Pacifico Oriental, en el margen sudamericano, y en
especial los de la Cuenca Neuquina (Patagonia, Argentina).  Hasta el
momento,  hemos encontrado estrechas afinidades con las formas del Tethys
europeo,  por lo que los reptiles del Oxfordiano de Cuba resultan
particularmente importantes en la contrastacion de distintas hipotesis
paleogeograficas y  paleobiogeograficas.

	 En este marco, tu  directa participacion en nuestro proyecto  y  los
distintos conocimientos que generan los colegas del Carib-PT-IGPC,  nos
resultan sumamente enriquecedores.

Un abrazo, Zulma

Dear Manuel,

I hope that things are going well for you.

I am starting a project in the northeastern Caribbean with Uri tenBrink,
here at USGS Woods Hole.  The study aims at understanding the nature of
plate motions, the shallow and deep coupling between the plates, and at
mapping the resultant shallow and deep plate boundary deformation. This
project plan follows the recommendations of a workshop held in San Juan PR
on March 23,24, 1999, which was funded by the Coastal and Marine Geology
and Earthquake Hazards Programs of the USGS; a summary of the workshop
results is available at the website:
http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/puertoricoworkshop/

I'll put a few paragraphs from our project proposal below.  i don't
guarantee that all of this work will receive funding, but the new project
initiation was approved by the USGS.

Our long-term objective is to develop a consistent model for the
development and evolution of the Puerto Rico Region in order to provide the
understanding needed to approach the problems of assessment, education and
mitigation of tectonic hazards in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.

The Puerto Rico/Virgin Islands area has a significant seismic risk (Ms 7.8
on 7/29/1943; Ms 8.0 on 8/4/1946 followed by four major aftershocks of Ms
7.6, 7.0, 7.3, 7.1 between 1946 and 1953). Large tsunamis have also hit
Puerto Rico and Hispaniola, reportedly killing 1800 people in 1946 and 91
people in 1918. USGS GLORIA sidescan sonar images of the slope north of
Puerto Rico disclose massive slide scars, as much as 75 km across, that we
infer to be initiated by tectonic tilting and earthquake shaking of
formerly horizontal carbonate platform deposits. The slides probably
generated tsunamis. Historic earthquake records, current levels of
microseismicity, and recent GPS results all point to significantly greater
deformation offshore and limited displacement onshore in Puerto Rico and
the Virgin Islands.

The Puerto Rico trench, an active plate boundary north of Puerto Rico , is
located off the major population center of San Juan, and a shallower trench
(Muertos trough) and another active boundary exists along the south side of
the island. Because of the great population density and extensive
construction near the coast a very significant earthquake/tsunami hazard
exists in P.R. Better understanding of plate structure, movement, coupling,
and deformation, is imperative to comprehend the earthquake and tsunami
risks.

Our recent joint C&MGP and EHP workshop
(http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/puertoricoworkshop/), involving scientists,
engineers, managers of government emergency management organizations, the
insurance industry, P.R. telephone company etc. has provided
recommendations regarding needed work offshore:

1. Analysis of relevant data and the formation of a GIS data bank for the
Puerto Rico region, which will facilitate comparison of disparate data
types and focus/prioritize future research efforts (YEAR 1).

2. Acquisition of high-resolution swath (bathymetry and backscatter),
topographic, and seismic reflection data to define fault systems across the
region (CONTRACT, YEAR 2).

3. Acquisition of deep penetration Multichannel Seismic Reflection and
OBS/OBH refraction data to constrain the deep structure and interaction
between the subducting Caribbean and North American plates (YEAR 3).

4. Collection of high-resolution seismic profiles and bathymetry in the
nearshore area to map faults. These will be linked with the work of EHP
geologists onshore where efforts to map active faults and estimate slip
rates will be made (YEARS 1 AND 4).

5. Passive recording of earthquakes by ocean bottom seismometers and
temporary land arrays to better locate earthquakes and to construct a 3-D
velocity and attenuation model for propagation of seismic energy (YEAR 1
and 4).

All the best,

Bill Dillon

Estimado Manuel:

1. Aunque actualmente estoy trabajando en Trinidad, por el momento no estoy
involucrado en ningun proyecto de investigacion geologica.

2. El proyecto es estrictamente de exploracion de petroleo en la isla de
Trinidad y pertenece a una compania privada. Por tanto, tanto el proyecto como
yo mismo estamos sujetos a  clausulas de confidencialidad. En estos casos la
informacion tarda mucho tiempo en hacerse publica.

Sin mebargo, tengo siempre interes en los avances sobre la evolucion del Caribe.

Atentos saludos,

AGUSTIN APARICIO

dear collegues,
  I suppose that our italian-latinamerican group will partecipate at the
first meeting IGCP 433 in La Habana the next November 1999, presenting a
note on the "tectono magmatic settlement and geodynamic evolution of the
Caribbean Margins in the Mesozoic early Tertiary". This note is almost the
same of which presented in Kingaton in July 98, and will be the base of the
note for Brazil 2OOO. It represents the present our status of art on the
Caribbean geology.
Hasta Pronto !!

Item 1) I have set up a second group.

Central America Geology

This group is dedicated to the geology of Central America and the
surrounding area and is open to anyone with an interest in the subject.
Please use this service to dialogue with collegues, announce meetings
and conferences, notify the community of your publications, etc. =


To subscribe, send a message to egroups.com-subscribe@cenamgeology or go
the this e-group's home page at

Item 2) A brief note on the policies of the Caribbean Plate Evolution
email group.

I=92m Rob Rogers.  I set up this group and will serve as the moderator, a=
t
least initially.  I want to let you know of the =93rules=94 of this group=
s
as it is flexible in a number of regards.

Group Policies
1. Anyone may join.  Can be restricted and controlled by moderator.
2. Anyone may post messages.  This can be restricted to a) group members
(you), b) the moderator (me), and c) nobody.  =

3. Posted messages are sent directly to the subscriber group (you).  The
option exists to have posted messages routed through the moderator for
approval. You also have the option to receive a daily digest of postings
instead of every posting.  =

4. Posted messages stored at the group website
(http://www/egroups.com/liste/carib/main.html) can be viewed by anyone. =

This can be restricted to group members.  =

5. When you reply to a posting, the reply is sent to the entire group. =

It can be set up to reply only to the sender.  Be aware of this.  If you
wish to reply ONLY to the sender of a message, DO NOT use the =93reply to=
=94
command on your email software.  =

6. Membership listing is available to group members at the website. =

Currently this is restricted to your email address.
7. The eGroups.com company states that they will attach advertising to
the end of postings to the group as a condition for this service.  They
also state that your email address will not  sold or given away.  I have
not experienced any unsolicited email as a result of membership in
another group.  =


I hope this answers some of your questions.  If you have others, you can
email me directly at krautara@....  =


Regards,

Rob Rogers

Hi Robert,

Thanks to you and Manuel for setting up this server.  I think it will be very
good for the group to keep in tight communication.  How many people from this
group are going to G.S.A.?

Regards,

Andrew Coleman
