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 …

Central Chile, home to more than 10 million inhabitants, has experienced an uninterrupted
sequence of dry years since 2010 with mean rainfall deficits of 20–40%. The so-called Mega …

Abstract A decade-long (2010–2020) period with precipitation deficits in central–south Chile
(30–41∘ S), the so-called megadrought (MD), has led to streamflow depletions of larger …

Study region As climate change intensifies, drought events are becoming more frequent and
intense in the Andes region. Remote sensing offers new opportunities to characterize and …

Atmospheric model systems, such as those used for weather forecast and reanalysis
production, often have significant and systematic errors in their representation of the Arctic …

The Chilean coastal zone (CCZ) is subjected to a complex spectrum of anthropogenic,
geophysical, biogeochemical, and climate-driven perturbations. Potentially affected …

Atmospheric deposition of desert dust and other aerosols influence on the open ocean
ecosystem and climate. These aerosols provide iron, phosphorus and bio-essential trace …

The decrease in freshwater input to the coastal system of the Southern Andes (40–45° S)
during the last decades has altered the physicochemical characteristics of the coastal water …

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 …

Off the central-southern Chilean coast (35°–38° S), the Gulf of Arauco is one of Chile's
largest semi-enclosed coastal areas. It hosts industrialized activities within a highly …
