The Limari River basin is one of the most important watersheds in north-central Chile (30 S). Its headwaters lie at the top of the subtropical Andes (> 5; 000 m above sea level) and the river flows westward into the Pacific ...

In this paper we present an analysis of the direct impacts of climate change on the hydrology of the upper watersheds (range in elevation from 1,000 to 5,500 m above sea level) of the snowmelt-driven Limari river basin, ...

Climate is a global system whose subsystems interact complexly. Deterministic models are capable of describing the climate phenomena with physical detail around the globe. Nonetheless, the several concurrent global climate ...

This paper updates the SCVI (Socio-Climatic Vulnerability Index) maps developed by Torres et al. (2012) for Brazil, by using the new Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) projections and more recent 2010 ...

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 ...

Widely documented for temperate and cold forests in both hemispheres, variations in tree growth responses to climate along environmental gradients have rarely been investigated in the tropics. Seven tree‐ring chronologies ...
