Few high-elevation tropical catchments worldwide are gauged, and even fewer are studied using combined hydrometric and isotopic data. Consequently, we lack information needed to understand processes governing rainfall–runoff ...

Environmental degradation caused by urbanization of the Andean piedmonts and related pre-mountain systems can be observed along both Chilean and Argentinean slopes, with a consequent decrease in vegetation productivity, ...

Glaciers have been an important element of Andean societies and livelihoods as direct freshwater supply for agriculture irrigation, hydropower generation and mining activities. Peru’s mainly remotely living population in ...

The hydrologic analysis of Andean páramo catchments is currently hindered by the limited existence of studies regarding the streamflow generation processes. To improve this situation and to provide a baseline for future ...

In coastal wetlands, the interaction between groundwater, surface water and marine or estuarine water determines the water chemistry; variations in the water balance may be of influence as well. The objective of this work ...

The interactions among hydrogeomorphic features of large lowland rivers regulate the spatio-temporal fluvial dynamics and influence the occurrence and understanding of the ecological patterns in these systems. We studied ...

The basins of the tropical Andes comprise a variety of ecosystems, among which are Andean forests and paramo areas. The importance of these Andean ecosystems lies in the provision of environmental services. Particularly, ...
