Climate change and urban sustainability of Chilean metropolitan cities.
(Instituto de Estudos Avançados da Universidade de São Paulo., 2009)
Cities are at the same time cause and effect of climate change. Climate Change processes and effects should mainly affect Latin American cities, where most of the population and economic activities are concentrated. Urban ...
Climate change impacts on the hydrology of a snowmelt driven basin in semiarid Chile
(SPRINGER, 2011-04)
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, ...
Comparing alien plant invasions among regions with similar climates: Where to from here?
(2004)
Comparisons between regions with similar climates have traditionally helped to tackle big questions in evolutionary ecology and historical biogeography. We claim that plant invasion ecology can benefit greatly from further ...
What is the ‘Social’ in Climate Change Research? A Case Study on Scientific Representations from Chile
(Springer Netherlands, 2019)
Over the last few decades climate change has been gaining importance in international scientific and political debates. However, the social sciences, especially in Latin America, have only lately become interested in the ...
Current breeding distributions and predicted range shifts under climate change in two subspecies of black-tailed godwits in Asia
(Wiley, 2022)
Habitat loss and shifts associated with climate change threaten global biodiversity, with impacts likely to be most pronounced at high latitudes. With the disappearance of the tundra breeding habitats, migratory shorebirds ...
Did South American Mixed Paleofloras evolve under thermal equability or in the absence of an effective Andean barrier during the Cenozoic?
(ELSEVIER, 2005-02-11)
Two hypotheses have attempted to explain the development of Mixed Paleofloras during the Cenozoic in South America. One of them postulates changes in the climatic tolerances of its component taxa and the other calls for ...
Coupled tectonic evolution of Andean orogeny and global climate
(Elsevier, 2015)
The largest tectonic relief breaking the Earth's surface (13 km vertically) is at the subduction margin of the Andes, which generates routinely megathrust earthquakes (Mw > 8.5) and drives the paradigmatic Andean orogen. ...
Biogeographic anomalies in the species richness of Chilean forests: Incorporating evolution into a climatic – historic scenario
(Ecological Society of Australia, 2013)
Broad-scale richness gradients are closely associated with temperature and water availability. However,
historical and evolutionary processes have also contributed to shape current diversity patterns. In this paper we
focus ...
IUPA: a tool for the evaluation of the general usefulness of practices for adaptation to climate change and variability
(Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2008, 2009)
A prototype multi-purpose index is proposed for use in the evaluation of practices for adaptation to climate variability and change. The Index of Usefulness of Practices for Adaptation (IUPA) allows the user to assign ...
Pollen evidence for late-Holocene climatic variability at Laguna de Aculeo, Central Chile (lat. 34°S)
(2004)
A pollen record is presented from Laguna de Aculeo (33°50′S, 70°55′W, 360 m a.s.l.) that documents important vegetation changes over the last 2500 cal. yr in Central Chile. Grasses, composites, trees, paludal and aquatic ...
