Impact of the global warming hiatus on Andean temperature
(American Geophysical Union Publications, 2015)
The recent hiatus in global warming is likely to be reflected in Andean temperature, given its close dependence on tropical Pacific sea surface temperature (SST). While recent work in the subtropical Andes has indeed ...
Touching the Sky: Coccinellids (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) at High Altitudes in South America
(Springer, 2019)
Records of extreme altitudes where several coccinellid species from South America inhabit the Andes of Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru are provided. After an intensive review of several entomological ...
Acclimation to daily thermal variability drives the metabolic performance curve
(2013)
Background: Among the predictions of the effect of future climate change, the impact of
thermal conditions at local levels on the physiological performance of individuals and their
acclimation capacities is key to ...
A human-scale perspective on global warming: zero emission year and personal quotas
(Public Library Science, 2017)
This article builds on the premise that human consumption of goods, food and transport are the ultimate drivers of climate change. However, the nature of the climate change problem (well described as a tragedy of the ...
Evidence of Neogene wildfires in central Chile: Charcoal records from the Navidad Formation
(Elsevier, 2016)
Mediterranean-type climate (MTC) ecosystems are characterized by recurrent wildfires. Although the majority of wildfires are human-ignited, non-anthropogenic (Le., natural) wildfires are common in all MTC regions except ...
Climate change and infectious diseases. A novel epidemiological scenario Cambio climático y enfermedades infecciosas. Un nuevo escenario epidemiológico
(2008)
For the international scientific community, it is undoubted that planetary temperature is increasing, being projected an average raise of 1.0°C-3.5°C by the year 2100. Forecasted consequences are diverse, most of them ...
Warming trends in Patagonian subantartic forest
(Elsevier B.V., 2019)
The forests in the Aysén region (ca. 43–49 °S, Chile) have a high degree of wilderness and cover more than 4.8 million hectares, making it one of the largest areas of subantarctic forest in the Southern Hemisphere. The ...
Towards solar power supply for copper production in Chile: assessment of global warming potential using a life cycle approach
(Elsevier, 2017)
Solar energy technologies are a promising option to lower the greenhouse gas emissions of energy generation. Using solar technologies in energy-intensive industries located in arid climate zones is an attractive alternative ...
The Copenhagen Accord: A catastrofic warm future. Do we need a plan B? Acuerdo de Copenhague: Un futuro catastróficamente caliente necesitamos un plan B?
(2010)
The Copenhagen Accord (December 2009) underlines that climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time and emphasizes the political will to urgently combat it, in accordance with the principle of common but ...
Temperature variability and thermal performance in ectotherms: acclimation, behaviour, and experimental considerations
(2016)
Background: Among the predictions of the effect of future climate change, the impact of thermal conditions at local levels on the performance of individuals and their acclimation capacities is key to understanding animals' ...
