Debris flow susceptibility mapping using frequency ratio and seed cells, in a portion of a mountain international route, Dry Central Andes of Argentina
(Elsevier Science, 2020-06)
Debris flow and floods represent one of the main natural hazards that impact transport infrastructure, causing serious damage, economic losses and hinder regional economic development. These processes are eventually ...
Ingestion of plastics and other debris by coastal and pelagic birds along the coast of Espírito Santo, Eastern Brazil
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2021-12)
Although the ingestion of plastics and other anthropogenic debris by seabirds is a global problem, few studies have employed standardized protocols to quantify and classify the debris ingested by seabirds in the Southwest ...
Spatial and temporal analysis of debris flow occurrence in three adjacent basins of the western margin of Grande River: Quebrada de Humahuaca, Jujuy, Argentina
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-04)
Numerous slides, rock falls and flows occur in the arid mountainous areas of northwestern Argentina. On 10 January 2017, torrential rain caused the acceleration of large-scale and slow-moving landslides mainly in the Los ...
Evolution of Surface Characteristics of Three Debris-Covered Glaciers in the Patagonian Andes From 1958 to 2020
(Frontiers Media, 2021-06)
A number of glaciological observations on debris-covered glaciers around the globe have shown a delayed length and mass adjustment in relation to climate variability, a behavior normally attributed to the ice insulation ...
Fouling assemblage of marine debris collected in a temperate South-western Atlantic coastal lagoon: A first report
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2020-05)
In the South-western Atlantic, studies dealing with the impacts of debris on marine species are focused mainly on vertebrates, being scarce the studies conducted to determine the association of fouling species to marine ...
Debris flows triggered from melt of seasonal snow and ice within the active layer in the semi-arid Andes
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2020-01)
Debris flows triggered from rapid melt of seasonal snow, and/or ice within the active layer have not been studied in periglacial areas of the semi-arid Andes. Therefore, through a representative watershed we investigated ...
Marine debris in beaches of the Southwestern Atlantic: An assessment of their abundance and mass at different spatial scales in northern coastal Argentina
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2017-06)
Argentina is currently undergoing an intensive development of coastal-oriented tourism due to the temperate climate and coastal sceneries of the Southwestern Atlantic and particularly its wide ocean-open sandy beaches, ...
Debris flows in the Andean ranges of central Chile and Argentina triggered by 2013 summer storms: characteristics and consequences
(Springer Heidelberg, 2014-11-21)
In January and February 2013, heavy rainfall during local summer storms triggered a large number of landslides in the Andes Main and Frontal ranges of central Chile and Argentina (32°–34° S). Most of the mass movements ...
A two-phase SPH model for debris flow propagation
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2018-02)
This paper presents a model which can be used for fast landslides where coupling between solid and pore fluid plays a fundamental role. The proposed model is able to describe debris flows where the difference of velocities ...
Marine debris ingestion by Southern Giant Petrels and its potential relationships with fisheries in the Southern Atlantic Ocean
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2003-11)
The quantity of litter in the worlds oceans has been steadily increasing over the years. Within the Southern Ocean, the amount of debris increased 100-fold during the early 1990s (Barnes, 2002) and fisheries appear to be ...
