Abstract The Atacama Desert is one of the driest and oldest deserts on Earth. The extreme
scarcity of rainfall and hence very limited runoff, paired with endorheism, allow sediments …

To expand the knowledge base on natural infrastructure for erosion mitigation in the Andes,
it is necessary to move beyond case by case empirical studies to comprehensive …

Climate change may affect sediment fluvial export from high mountain regions, leading to
downstream environmental disruptions and direct impacts on human activities. In this paper …

Abstract The Atacama Desert in Chile is known to be one of the driest deserts on Earth, with
dominating hyperaridity at least since the Miocene. During recent times, however, especially …

Hyperarid coasts develop under relatively high air humidity and abundant sea salt aerosols,
resulting in physical and chemical weathering processes that distinctly differ from those …

Extreme high‐magnitude and low‐frequency storm events in arid zones provide the
necessary runoff to entrain sediments from source areas and therefore dictate the linkages …

As located in one of the oldest and driest deserts on Earth, soils in the Atacama Desert are
greatly affected by atmospheric dust deposited on soil surface and the related fate of water …

Under hyperarid climate conditions, pedogenesis is driven by the atmospheric deposition
and subsequent accumulation of easily to moderately soluble salts forming extreme types of …

An extreme precipitation event produced catastrophic debris flows in central Chile during 29–
31 January 2021 (austral summer). Our study focuses on the triggering factors and dynamic …

Over the past decades, several numerical models have been developed to understand,
simulate and predict debris flow events. Typically, these models simplify the complex …
