CEGA Researchers got Fondecyt 2022 for Science of Earth investigation projects

Monday, 17 de January

Gloria Arancibia (PUC) and Daniele Tardani  (UACH), both members of the Center of Excellence in Geothermal of Los Andes,  awarded financials  from the Fondecyt 2022 Contest, from the National Research and Development Agency (ANID in spanish), to carry on wiith their research in the area of ​​Earth Sciences.

Arancibia’s project will be focused in a better understanding of  the circulation of fluids (magma, hydrothermal fluids, geothermal waters and meteoric water) in the earth’s crust, which is   fractured by a  large active geological fault line in central-southern Chile.

For its part, Tardani’s project, called “Structural control on residence times and metal sources in geothermal waters from Southern Andes: implications for geothermal systems and epithermal deposits formation”, will help him to  continue his PHD studies.

As per his own words: “It is a topic that we have worked on in the last ten years, in partnership with other CEGA researchers and it is related to the interaction between the fault line structures present in the southern Andes and the circulation of hydrothermal fluids”, he concluded.
