Movimientos en Masa en la Región Andina
Publicación Geológica Multinacional No. 4

El Proyecto Multinacional Andino: Geociencias para las Comunidades Andinas, PMA: GCA, es un proyecto de cooperación internacional 2002-2008 entre los Servicios Geológicos de Argentina, Bolivia, Canadá, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Perú y Venezuela.

El Proyecto, cofinanciado por la Agencia Canadiense de Cooperación Internacional, ACDI, se estableció con el objetivo de contribuir a mejorar la calidad de vida de los pobladores en la región andina, a través de la reducción del impacto negativo de las amenazas naturales como terremotos, movimientos en masa y erupciones volcánicas. Mediante el Proyecto se proporcionó información geoespacial actualizada e integrada sobre amenazas geológicas en el formato adecuado para los fines de prevención y mitigación, así como para una adecuada planificación del uso del territorio.

El grupo GEMMA, Grupo de Estándares para Movimientos en Masa, fue creado en el marco del PMA: GCA, con el objetivo de revisar, establecer y promover una terminología técnica, metodologías y guías para el estudio de amenazas por movimientos en masa. El Grupo, integrado por profesionales especialistas de los ocho Servicios Geológicos que integran el PMA: GCA entrega, después de más de tres años de trabajo, esta publicación como un texto de referencia para los países de la región andina.

Dead Fish and Fat Cats

Dead Fish and Fat Cats:
A No-Nonsense Journey through our Dysfunctional Fishing Industry

by Eric Wickham
Foreword by Dr. David Suzuki

Where did all the salmon go? Why did our once-thriving fishing industry collapse? In this humorous, forthright and intelligent book, successful BC Coast fishboat captain Eric Wickham goes looking for answers—and comes up with them. Dead Fish and Fat Cats, part detective story, part poignant memoir, explores how an industry that had flourished for decades and was supposedly being well-managed by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, could suddenly founder.
