A companion paper in this Special Issue reviewed the development of a hydrological model
of the Silala River basin, using long‐term data (1969–1992) to determine the basin's water …

The Silala is a small river, originating in the Andean Altiplano, which flows from Bolivia into
Chile. Prior to a legal dispute between Chile and Bolivia over the status and use of the …

The electrification transition will intensify the demand for lithium. The endowment in the
Lithium Triangle is significant, and the expectations for the global supply are high in terms of …

Abstract The Silala River basin is located in a remote area in the Andes Mountain range,
where hydro‐meteorological and hydrogeological data are scarce. Consequently, the …

Evapotranspiration has been poorly characterized in the Altiplano, and the legal dispute
over the status and use of the waters of the Silala River provided an opportunity for …

We investigate how evaporation changes depending on the scales in the Altiplano region of
the Atacama Desert. More specifically, we focus on the temporal evolution from the …

We studied atmospheric corrosion on Rapa Nui Island, using galvanized and non-
galvanized SAE 1020 steel samples exposed on racks. We also added Charpy samples of …

Assessment of groundwater resources is crucial for develo** water management practices
for its sustainable exploitation, both for current and future needs. Numerical models are …

In the western Andes, climate changes have led to drastic ecological changes during the
Pleistocene and Holocene. Given the debate surrounding precipitation pattern changes and …

Microbial community structures are shaped by geochemical factors and their interactions
with the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere through the processes of chemical …
