According to future IPCC climate predictions, the Subtropical Andes of Chile (30-34◦S) is one of those areas in the world which are experimenting a strong aridification trend as a consequence of the ongoing climatic change, ...

This article discusses the distribution of radiocarbon age signatures obtained from archeological sites between 29 and 35 S in Central Chile and Midwest Argentina. The goal of this analysis is to establish bases from ...

Estimations of the carbon stored in the above-ground biomass are important from traditional, ecological and forestry to contemporary climate and land-use change perspectives. Carbon sequestration and storage is reduced by ...

This study assesses the performance of 15 high resolution global climate models (GCMs) over the complex orographic region of the subtropical central Andes from available simulations of the Fifth Coupled Model Intercomparison ...

Glaciers located in the Subtropical Central Andes region, play an important role in the surrounding hydrological system due to their significant contribution to the runoff of Andean rivers. Furthermore, they constitute a ...

The orographic effect of the Andes (30 degrees S-55 degrees S) on upwind precipitating clouds from midlatitude frontal systems is investigated using surface and satellite data. Rain gauges between 33 degrees S and 44 degrees ...

A major storm impacted the subtropical Andes during 28-31 January 2021 producing 4-days accumulated precipitation up to 100 mm over central-south Chile. These are high accumulations even for winter events but the storm ...
