The Yanacocha Mining District in northern Perú is considered the largest group of
high-sulfidation style epithermal gold deposits in the world. District-scale geologic mapping coupled with detailed 40Ar/39Ar geochronology, geochemistry and petrography establish the volcanic history of the area and analyze the temporal and spatial evolution of volcanism, hypogene advanced...

After 22 years of eruption at Kilauea Volcano, Hawai'i, an environmental, epidemiological, and ethnographic study was conducted to assess for adverse health effects from chronic exposure to volcanogernc air pollution. Environmental data from 2003 indicated that Kau District, from 37 to 74 km downwind from the eruption, was being exposed...
The Yanacocha mining district is located in the Andes of northern Peru in an area of
relatively thick continental crust (~35 km) and long-lived Cenozoic subduction-related
volcanism. Volcanic activity in the district began at ~20 Ma, and gold deposits (total
resource of ~1500 tonnes of gold) are spatially and temporally...
