CHARACTERIZATION OF DEPOSITS FORMED IN A WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
(Universidad de Tarapacá., 2009)
Fog deposition to a Tillandsia carpet in the Atacama Desert
(COPERNICUS GESELLSCHAFT MBH, 2009)
In the Atacama Desert, one of the driest places on earth, fog deposition plays an important role for the water balance and for the survival of vulnerable ecosystems. The eddy covariance method, previously applied for the ...
A PROPOSED STANDARD FOG COLLECTOR FOR USE IN HIGH-ELEVATION REGIONS
(AMER METEOROLOGICAL SOC, 1994)
The collection of fog droplets by vegetation is an important wet deposition process. It can, in fact, dominate the chemical and hydrological input to certain high elevation watersheds. However, measurements of fog deposition ...
NUTRIENT DEPOSITION IN BULLFROGS DURING THE FATTENING PHASE
(Inst Pesca, 2015-01-01)
Descriptions of nutrient deposition are important to determine the nutritional requirements of animals. The objective of this study was to describe nutrient deposition in the body and legs and the dietary intake of protein ...
Natural and anthropogenic variations in atmospheric mercury deposition during the Holocene near Quelccaya Ice Cap, Peru
(American Geophysical Union, 2014)
Mercury (Hg) is a toxic metal that is transported globally through the atmosphere. Emissions of Hg from mineral reservoirs and recycling between soil/biomass, oceans, and the atmosphere are fundamental to the global Hg ...
New insights on the origin of the Mesón Alto deposit, Yeso Valley, central Chile: A composite deposit of glacial and landslide processes?
(Servicio Nacional de Geología y Minería, 2014)
The Mesón Alto chaotic deposit, located in the Main Cordillera at about 33°40’S, is an important landform with a volume of ca. 4.5 km3 unconsolidated material deposited downstream of the Yeso Dam in the Yeso Valley, Río ...
The sieve lobe paradigm: Observations of active deposition
(Geological Society of America, 2010-04)
Sieve deposits were once considered to be one of the building blocks in alluvial fan stratigraphy. Later re-interpretation of sieve lobes as debris-flow deposits, favored because no visual records of active sieve deposition ...
Atacamite in the oxide zone of copper deposits in northern Chile: involvement of deep formation waters?
(2007)
Atacamite, a copper hydroxychloride, is an
important constituent of supergene oxide zones of copper
deposits in northern Chile, whereas in similar deposits
elsewhere, it is rare. In Chile, it has generally been assumed
to ...
Atacamite formation by deep saline waters in copper deposits from the Atacama Desert, Chile: evidence from fluid inclusions, groundwater geochemistry, TEM, and Cl-36 data
(SPRINGER, 2008-08)
The presence of large amounts of atacamite in oxide zones from ore deposits in the Atacama Desert of northern Chile requires saline solutions for its formation and hyperarid climate conditions for its preservation. We ...
Geodynamic context for the deposition of coarse-grained deep-water axial channel systems in the Patagonian Andes
(Wiley, 2014-05)
We present field and seismic evidence for the existence of Coniacian–Campanian syntectonic angular unconformities within basal foreland basin sequences of the Austral or Magallanes Basin, with implications for the understanding ...
