This study provides an updated analysis of the evolution of seasonal rainfall intensity in the
Amazon basin, considering the 1981–2017 period and based on HOP (interpolated HYBAM …

Owing to the extraordinary latitudinal extent, a strong orographic variability with very high
mountain tops, and the presence of deep valleys and steep slopes, the Andes and the …

Providing reliable estimates of streamflow and hydrological fluxes is a major challenge for
water resources management over national and transnational basins in South America …

The Andes is the most biodiverse region across the globe. In addition, some of the largest
