Interdisciplinary knowledge is necessary to achieve sustainable management of natural
resources. However, research is still often developed in an exclusively disciplinary manner …

Páramos, a neotropical alpine grassland‐peatland biome of the northern Andes and Central
America, play an essential role in regional and global cycles of water, carbon, and nutrients …

High mountain areas are critical for water security and natural hazard dynamics, as well as
glacier and ecosystem conservation in a warming world. We present a brief account of the …

Abstract Lakes occur throughout Costa Rica, in a variety of geomorphic settings. Nearly
every possible mode of lake formation has occurred, involving processes related to …

During the last decades, the number of floods and landslides events have been growing
every year in Costa Rica, both in urban and rural areas. Despite of the geomorphological …

Hydrograph separation is a widely applied technique that uses the stable isotopes of water
(2H and 18O) or other tracers to quantify the contribution of different water sources to …

Stable hydrogen and oxygen isotopes in precipitation, which are sensitive to climate change
and the water cycle, are widely used as natural tracers to investigate hydrological processes …

Globally, most active tropical glacial landscapes are found at elevations above 4000 m.
Nonetheless, the presence of paleoglacial landforms in low latitudes, especially those …

How simple or complex catchment models need to be is still unclear particularly for tracer-
aided models that go beyond hydrograph fitting. Here, we take advantage of a sub-daily …

Several high areas of Central America show evidence of past glacial activity, including
glacial cirques, polished and striated bedrock surfaces and moraine deposits. As glacial …
