Abstract: The potential of riverbank filtration in the removal of five pesticides commonly used in Colombia (atrazine, ametryn, carbofuran, diuron and propanil) was evaluated through a series of column experiments and solute transport modeling. The experiments consisted of two soil columns run under saturated regime, with sediments and water collected from the rivers Loessnitztal and Elbe (East Germany), respectively. Six experiments were performed at 10 and 20 °C, and the final concentrations of the pesticides were used to solve the one-dimensional advection–dispersion equation using an inverse approach. Variables such as retardation factor, first-order degradation coefficient, and dispersion coefficient were assessed for all the pesticides except propanil, which rapidly degraded in solution. The parameters obtained for one of the experiments were introduced into a groundwater flow model from the Loessnitztal site, and the code MT3DMS was used to simulate a contaminant pulse coming from the river. Four different scenarios were considered to determine the effect of adsorption and degradation on the fate of the pesticides. The results showed that, although the persistence of pesticides depends on the properties of each compound, a maximum of 30% removal was achieved during the column experiments, and a log removal of 9 through the numerical modeling. Because of the sensitivity of the fate of contaminants to sorption and degradation, field and laboratory work should be carried on to determine the removal coefficient of the dissolved and adsorbed phases of the compounds, the type of degradation to be expected, and the real values of longitudinal and transverse dispersivity.

Improved gasoline-powered soft-sediment cutter
(SEPM-SOC SEDIMENTARY GEOLOGY, 2013-09-01) Sierra, Gloria M.; Marin-Ceron, Maria I.; Ramirez, Jackeline; Uribe, Camilo; Sierra, Gloria M.; Marin-Ceron, Maria I.; Ramirez, Jackeline; Uribe, Camilo; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ciencias; Geología Ambiental y Tectónica
A device used for paleomagnetic sampling has been improved which allows sampling friable, poorly to moderate lithified sedimentary and volcanic materials. The new device attaches to a portable gasoline drill and employs two steel cutting disks with a 2 cm separation, which cuts two parallel slots in the material being sampled. A second set of cuts orthogonal to the first set produces a square pedestal over which a plastic sample box can be placed and oriented to extract a cubic sample; this procedure permits using the same orientation parameters as for conventionally drilled cylindrical samples. The method allows sampling at localities where conventional drilling fails in weak materials. To test the method, sedimentary sandstones of the Amaga' Formation (Eocene-Miocene) in the NW portion of the Central Colombian Andes were sampled. The anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) was measured on samples using the new method and compared with results from conventionally drilled cores at the same sites. Results show better AMS within-site precision for box samples compared with the drilled cores. This device improves on previous battery-powered samplers used for sampling by the double-slot procedure. Also the new device can be used with the same gasoline-powered motor for standard core drilling. Copyright © 2013, SEPM (Society for Sedimentary Geology).
Tectonic and climate driven fluctuations in the stratigraphic base level of a Cenozoic continental coal basin, northwestern Andes
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2008-12-01) Tamayo, J. C. Silva; Sierra, G. M.; Correa, L. G.; Tamayo, J. C. Silva; Sierra, G. M.; Correa, L. G.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ciencias; Geología Ambiental y Tectónica
Changes in the sedimentologic and stratigraphic characteristics of the coal-bearing middle Oligocene-late Miocene siliciclastic Amagá Formation, northwestern Colombia, reflect major fluctuations in the stratigraphic base level within the Amagá Basin, which paralleled three major stages of evolution of the middle Cenozoic Andean Orogeny. These stages, which are also traceable by the changes in the compositional modes of sandstones, controlled the occurrence of important coal deposits. The initial stage of evolution of the Amagá Basin was related to the initial uplift of the Central Cordillera of Colombia around 25 Ma, which promoted moderate subsidence rates and high rates of sediment supply into the basin. This allowed the development of aggradational braided rivers and widespread channel amalgamation resulting in poor preservation of both, low energy facies and geomorphic elements. The presence of poorly preserved Alfisols within the scarce flood plains and the absence of swamp deposits suggest arid climate during this stage. The compositional modes of sandstones suggest sediment supply from uplifted basement-cored blocks. The second stage of evolution was related to the late Oligocene eastward migration of the Pre-Andean tholeitic magmatic arc from the Western Cordillera towards the Cauca depression. This generated extensional movements along the Amagá Basin, enhancing the subsidence and increasing the accommodation space along the basin. As a result of the enhanced subsidence rates, meandering rivers developed, allowing the formation of extensive swamps deposits (currently coal beds). The excellent preservation of Entisols and Alfisols within the flood plain deposits suggests rapid channels migration and a humid climate during deposition. Moderate to highly mature channel sandstones support this contention, and point out the Central Cordillera of Colombia as the main source of sediment. Enhanced subsidence during this stage also prevented channels amalgamation and promoted both, high preservation of geomorphic elements and high diversity of sedimentary facies. This resulted in the most symmetric stratigraphic cycles of the entire Amagá Formation. The final stage of evolution of the Amagá Basin was related to the early stage of development of the late Miocene northwestern Andes tholeitic volcanism (from ~10 to ~8 Ma). The extensive thrusting and folding associated to this volcanism reduced the subsidence rates along the basin and thus the accommodation space. This permitted the development of highly aggradational braided rivers and promoted channels amalgamation. Little preservation of low energy facies, poor preservation of the geomorphic elements and a complete obliteration of important swamp deposits (coal beds) within the basin are reflected by the most asymmetric stratigraphic cycles of the whole formation. The presence of greenish/reddish flood plain deposits and Alfisols suggests a dry climate during this depositional stage. The presence of channel sandstones with high contents of volcanic rock fragments supports a dry climate, and suggests an incipient phase of the Combia tholeiitic magmatism present during deposition of the Amagá Formation. The subsequent eastward migration of the NW Andes magmatic arc (after ~8 Ma) may have produced basin inversion and suppressed deposition along the Amagá Basin. © 2008 Elsevier Ltd.

U-Pb Ages and Hf Isotopes in Zircons from Parautochthonous Mesozoic Terranes in the Western Margin of Pangea: Implications for the Terrane Configurations in the Northern Andes
(UNIV CHICAGO PRESS, 2017-09-01) Bustamante C.; Archanjo C.J.; Cardona A.; Bustamante A.; Valencia V.A.; Bustamante C.; Archanjo C.J.; Cardona A.; Bustamante A.; Valencia V.A.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ciencias; Geología Ambiental y Tectónica
U-Pb laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry ages and Hf isotopes in zircons were used to constrain the nature of two geological units representative of the basement of the Central Cordillera of Colombia. Graphite-quartz-muscovite schists from the Cajamarca Complex show inherited detrital zircons supplied mostly from Late Jurassic (ca. 167 Ma), Ediacaran (ca. 638 Ma), and Tonian (Grenvillian; ca. 1000 Ma) sources. These marine volcanosedimentary deposits form an N-trending metamorphic belt in fault contact to the east with orthogneisses and amphibolites of the Tierradentro unit. Zircon U-Pb determinations of the Tierradentro rockspreviously interpreted as Grenvillian basement slicesyielded crystallization ages between 271 and 234 Ma. Initial Hf data reveal that the Tierradentro unit shares isotopic characteristics similar to other Permo-Triassic rocks of the Central Cordillera. In contrast, inherited detrital zircons from the Jurassic metasedimentary rocks suggest that their sources are distinct from the plutonic rocks that crop out in the Central Cordillera with Jurassic crystallization ages. Large xenoliths of the Tierradentro unit within the Ibague batholith indicate that the granodioritic magma mostly intruded a Permo-Triassic basement possibly by exploiting the Otu-Pericos fault. The Jurassic metasedimentary belt is correlated further south with a similar sequence in the Ecuadorian Andes named Salado terrane.
