Satellite Remote Sensing Contributions to Wildland Fire Science and Management
(Springer International Publishing AG, 2020-06)Purpose This paper reviews the most recent literature related to the use of remote sensing (RS) data in wildland fire management. Recent Findings Studies dealing with pre-fire assessment, active fire detection, and fire ... -
Seasonal precipitation in south-central Chile: Trends in extreme events since 1900
(UNAM. CENTRO CIENCIAS ATMOSFERA, 2021-09)We study a regional precipitation time series built upon seven meteorological records from south-central Chile (SCC; 37 degrees-42 degrees S), which altogether cover the period 1900-2019. As a first objective, we investigated ... -
Seasonality Analysis of Sentinel-1 and ALOS-2/PALSAR-2 Backscattered Power over Salar de Aguas Calientes Sur, Chile
(MDPI Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2020-03)Seasonal changes control the development of salt crust over the Salar de Aguas Calientes Sur located in Andes Highlands, Chile. Precipitations throughout the Altiplanic winter (December to March) and austral winter (June ... -
Six hundred years of South American tree rings reveal an increase in severe hydroclimatic events since mid-20th century
(National Academy of Sciences, 2020-07)South American (SA) societies are highly vulnerable to droughts and pluvials, but lack of long-term climate observations severely limits our understanding of the global processes driving climatic variability in the region. ... -
The negative effect of lianas on tree growth varies with tree species and seasonPalavras-chave
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2020-05)Lianas reduce tree growth, reproduction, and survival in tropical forests. Liana competition can be particularly intense in isolated forest fragments, where liana densities are high, and thus, host tree infestation is ... -
Time-Series of Vegetation Indices (VNIR/SWIR) Derived from Sentinel-2 (A/B) to Assess Turgor Pressure in Kiwifruit
(MDPI AG, 2020-11)Simple Summary: Measures of plant water status on kiwifruit were evaluated using Sentinel-2 (A/B) for two seasons in Central Chile. For more than ten years, Central Chile has faced drought conditions, which impact crop ... -
Tree-ring-based hydroclimatic reconstruction for the northwest Argentine Patagonia since 1055 CE and its teleconnection to large-scale atmospheric circulation
(ELSEVIER, 2021-07)State-of-the-art climate models project droughts of stronger intensity and longer persistence in many arid and semi-arid regions such as northern Patagonia, which constitutes a serious concern worldwide. Moisture availability ... -
Two Centuries of Hydroclimatic Variability Reconstructed From Tree-Ring Records Over the Amazonian Andes of Peru
(Chile. Universidad Mayor, 2020)Almost half of the tributaries of the Amazon River originate in the tropical Andes and support large populations in mountain regions and downstream areas. However, it is difficult to assess hydroclimatic conditions or to ... -
Water Crisis in Petorca Basin, Chile: The Combined Effects of a Mega-Drought and Water Management
(Chile. Universidad Mayor, 2020)Since 2010, Chile has experienced one of the most severe droughts over the last century, the so-called mega-drought (MD). The MD conditions, combined with intensive agricultural activities and the current water management ... -
Weakening of the Summer Monsoon Over the Past 150 Years Shown by a Tree-Ring Record From Shandong, Eastern China, and the Potential Role of North Atlantic Climate
(AMER GEOPHYSICAL UNION, 2023-03)The causes of the decreased intensity of the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) over the past 150 years are still not fully understood, although several studies have linked the monsoon weakening to the warming of tropical ...
