The CADICs Geological Resources Program has been a hub of fruitful development for nearly four decades, with numerous projects completed and many more still in the pipeline. Over the years, three generations of dedicated researchers have emerged, each leaving their mark on the program's legacy. While it would be inappropriate to mention individual names, it is important to acknowledge the collective efforts of those who have contributed to the program's success.

Despite the significant strides made, there remains a considerable distance to be covered. The thirst for knowledge should never wane, and we should continue to explore and unravel the mysteries of our planet.

This book serves as a heartfelt tribute to all those individuals who have dedicated their time and expertise to the various projects conducted under the auspices of the CADICs Geological Resources Program. These projects encompass a wide range of disciplines, including pure and applied science, educational initiatives, and human resources training. The regional center of CONICET in Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina, has been the birthplace of these groundbreaking endeavors, supported by associated laboratories.

The twenty papers included in this volume have a distinct Latin flavor, as they were written by 50 authors hailing from Argentina and Spain. Each contribution revolves around the geological resources of Fuegian, a region rich in geological wonders. The authors' collective expertise and dedication make this book a fitting and enduring memorial to Nacho Subías, whose exceptional personal contribution to our understanding of Fuegian geology was truly remarkable.

As we delve into the pages of this book, we are reminded of the profound impact that scientific research and exploration can have on our understanding of the world. The contributions made by the authors and the tireless efforts of the researchers involved in the CADICs Geological Resources Program have paved the way for new discoveries, advancements, and sustainable development.

We hope that this book will serve as a valuable resource for scientists, researchers, students, and anyone else interested in the geological wonders of Fuegian and beyond. It is a testament to the power of collaboration, dedication, and the pursuit of knowledge. Let us continue to support and nurture programs that foster scientific excellence and exploration, as they are the keys to unlocking the mysteries of our planet and shaping a brighter future for generations to come.
