Climate anomalies and epidemics in South America at the end of the Colonial Period
(Springer, 2013-06)
Climate is one of the most of influential natural factors on society and economy. One of the consequences of climate anomalies is the emergence of diseases and epidemics, especially in agrarian societies. The current concern ...
Analysis of south hemisphere temperature anomalies over the last millennium up to the beginning of the contemporary age: a comparison between a statistical model and a global dynamic model
(Scientific Research, 2014-06)
We analyze the consistency of the coupled atmosphere-ocean GISS-ER climate model in reproducing South American temperature anomalies over the last millennium. For that purpose, we compare the model results with the Neukom’s ...
Vegetation, climate and fire regime changes in the Andean region of southern Chile (38°S) covaried with centennial-scale climate anomalies in the tropical Pacific over the last 1500 years
(2012)
Pollen and charcoal analysis from Laguna San Pedro (38°26'S, 71°19'W), a small closed-basin lake located within the present-day distribution of Araucaria- Nothofagus forest in the Temperate-Mediterranean Transition zone ...
Record-breaking climate anomalies lead to severe drought and environmental disruption in western Patagonia in 2016
(Inter-Research, 2018)
Traditionally temperate and hyper-humid, western Patagonia experienced its most severe drought during the summer and fall of 2016. Along with precipitation deficits larger than 50% there was a similar reduction in river ...
Record breaking climate anomalies lead to severe drought and environmental disruption in western Patagonia in 2016
(Inter Research Science Center, 2018)
Traditionally a temperate and hyper-humid region, western Patagonia experienced its most severe drought during the summer and fall of 2016. Along with precipitation deficits larger than 50% there was a similar reduction ...
Predicting climate change impacts on water resources in the tropical Andes: Effects of GCM uncertainty
(2009-04-16)
There is a strong demand from policy makers for predictions about the potential impacts of climate change on water resources. Integrated environmental models, combining climatic and hydrologic models, are often
used for ...
Determination of climatic conditions related to precipitation anomalies in the tropical andes by means of the random forest algorithm and novel climate indices
(2021)
Understanding precipitation and its relation with atmospheric and oceanic conditions is vital in the face of climate change. This is crucial in the Tropical Andes (TA) because millions of people depend on water originated ...
The 1877–1878 El Niño episode: associated impacts in South America
(Climatic Change, 2009-08)
At times when attention on climate issues is strongly focused on the assessment of potential impacts of future climate change due to the intensification of the planetary greenhouse effect, it is perhaps pertinent to look ...
Southern Hemispheric Westerlies control sedimentary processes of Laguna Azul (south-eastern Patagonia, Argentina)
(Sage Publications Ltd, 2019-03)
Multiproxy investigations of lacustrine sediments from Laguna Azul (52 °S) document multi-millennial Holocene influences of Southern Hemispheric Westerlies (SHW) on the hydroclimatic variability of south-eastern Patagonia. ...
Last millennial environmental reconstruction based on a multi-proxy record from Laguna Nassau, Western Pampas, Argentina
(E Schweizerbartsche Verlags, 2015-08)
We present a multi-proxy record from Laguna Nassau (LN), a shallow lake which developed in a blowout depression in the semi-arid sandy lowlands of the Western Pampas of Argentina. This multi-proxy stacked record reveals ...
