Analysis of hydroclimatic variability and trends using a novel empirical mode decomposition: Application to the Paraná River Basin
(American Geophysical Union, 2014-02)
The current understanding of hydroclimatic processes is largely based on time series analysis of observations such as river discharge. Although records of these variables are often nonlinear and nonstationary, they have ...
Influencia de los principales modos anulares hemisféricos y El Niño-Oscilación del Sur (ENOS) en las fuentes de humedad globales de Mesoamérica
(2019)
Se estudió la influencia de las oscilaciones atmosféricas interanuales de gran escala en la captación y el transporte de humedad proveniente de las principales fuentes oceánicas con impacto en Mesoamérica utilizando el ...
Potential of southern Latin-American coastal areas for stone pine (Pinus pinea L.) cropping
(Springer-Verlag Italia s.r.l., 2019-06)
Stone pine (Pinus pinea L.) was introduced to Argentina and Chile approximately a century ago for several uses, mainly for dune stabilization, but not for pine nut production. Many plantations were established along the ...
Analyzing the oscillations of the Perito Moreno Glacier, using time-lapse image sequences
(Elsevier Science, 2018-02)
In this study, we analyze the dynamic process of ice-dam formation by the Glaciar Perito Moreno (GPM), located on the Argentinean side of the southern tip of South America. When this glacier advances through the waters ...
Past Summer Temperatures Inferred From Dendrochronological Records of Fitzroya cupressoides on the Eastern Slope of the Northern Patagonian Andes
(Blackwell Publishing, 2018-01)
Estimating summer temperature fluctuations over long timescales in southern South America is essential for better understanding the past climate variations in the Southern Hemisphere. Here we developed robust 212 year long ...
Moisture transport and seasonal variations in the stable isotopic composition of rainfall in Central American and Andean Páramo during El Niño conditions (2015–2016)
(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2019)
High‐elevation tropical grassland systems, called Páramo, provide essential ecosystem services such as water storage and supply for surrounding and lowland areas.
Páramo systems are threatened by climate and land use ...
The use of spanish historical archives to reconstruct climate variability
(American Meteorological Society, 2003-08-01)
The use of documentary sources is a well-established technique for reconstructing climate during the past few centuries, when no instrumental or similar sources of data are available. Such sources have been used to study ...
Climate History in Latin America
(Palgrave Macmillan, 2018)
Written information about Latin American climates and related topics begins before the Spanish conquest, in the Maya and Aztec states of Mesoamerica. The development of Latin America’s climate history as a systematic ...
Multi-century lake area changes in the Southern Altiplano: A tree-ring-based reconstruction
(Copernicus Publications, 2015-09-15)
Size fluctuations in endorheic lakes in northwestern Argentina (NWA) and southwestern Bolivia (SWB) are very sensitive to basin hydrological balances, and consequently, very vulnerable to deleterious effects from climatic ...
Effects of local and regional climatic fluctuations on dengue outbreaks in southern Taiwan
(PLOS ONE, 2017-06-02)
Background: Southern Taiwan has been a hotspot for dengue fever transmission since 1998. During 2014 and 2015, Taiwan experienced unprecedented dengue outbreaks and the causes are poorly understood. This study aims to ...
