Modern drought conditions in western Sahel unprecedented in the past 1600 years
(Springer, 2019)
As climate model uncertainties remain very large for future rainfall in the Sahel, a multi-centennial perspective is required to assess the situation of current Sahel climate in the context of global warming. We present ...
Ecological and climatic controls of modern wildfire activity patterns across southwestern South America
(Ecological Society of America, 2012-11-16)
Understanding how patterns of wildfire activity across biomes are shaped by heterogeneity in biomass resources to burn and atmospheric conditions conducive to burning is a high research priority in the context of global ...
Nanofósseis calcários do Campaniano e Maastrichtiano no Atlântico Sul: bioestratigrafia, paleoceanografia e paleobiogeografia
(Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos, 2016-01-19)
The Late Cretaceous period is characterized by global climatic transition that influenced calcareous nannofossil assemblages posing a challenge for biostratigraphic interpretation between different latitudinal degrees. ...

Impact of projected SST changes on summer rainfall in southeastern South America
(Springer, 2013-04)
Recent studies have shown that global warming and associated sea-surface temperature (SST) changes may trigger an important rainfall increase in Southeastern South America (SESA) during the austral summer (December-Janu ...
Temperature sensitivity of carbon decomposition in soil aggregates along a climatic gradient
(Sociedad Chilena de la Ciencia del Suelo, 2016)
© 2016, Sociedad Chilena de la Ciencia del Suelo. All rights reserved.Global warming affects the carbon (C) pools in terrestrial ecosystems, accelerating biological processes that feed back into the phenomenon of climate ...
Streamflow variability in the Chilean Temperate-Mediterranean climate transition (35 degrees S-42 degrees S) during the last 400 years inferred from tree-ring records
(2016)
As rainfall in South-Central Chile has decreased in recent decades, local communities and industries have developed an understandable concern about their threatened water supply. Reconstructing streamflows from tree-ring ...
Historical and ecological divergence among populations of Monttea chilensis (Plantaginaceae), an endemic endangered shrub bordering the Atacama Desert, Chile
(Springer, 2014-02)
The coastal deserts of northern Chile show an important latitudinal gradient of aridity with more arid areas to the north of the Atacama Desert than to the south. Several plant species have disjunct distributions that ...
Climate variability over the last 9900 cal yr BP from a swamp forest pollen record along the semiarid coast of Chile
(ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2006-09)
We present a fossil pollen analysis from a swamp forest in the semiarid coast of Chile (32 degrees 05'S; 71 degrees 30'W), at the northern influence zone of southern westerly wind belt. A similar to 10,000 cal yr BP (calendar ...
