Dendrogeomorphic reconstruction of floods in a dynamic tropical river
(2020-06-15)
Tropical regions are frequently affected by intense floods causing substantial human and economic losses. A
proper management of floods and the prevention of disasters is, however, often hampered by a generalized paucity
of ...
Insight into the stable isotopic composition of glacial lakes in a tropical alpine ecosystem: Chirripó, Costa Rica
(2018)
Tropical high‐elevation lakes are considered sentinels of global climate change. This
work characterizes the hydrological conditions of tropical alpine glacial lakes located
in the highlands of Chirripó, Costa Rica, using ...
Improving regional flood risk assessment using flood frequency and dendrogeomorphic analyses in mountain catchments impacted by tropical cyclones
(2022-01-01)
River floods frequently occur when tropical cyclones hit land. Nonetheless, systematic, long-term discharge data
remain rather scarce in many tropical countries, which prevent proper analysis of peak discharges occurring ...
Moisture transport and seasonal variations in the stable isotopic composition of rainfall in Central American and Andean Páramo during El Niño conditions (2015-2016)
(2019)
High‐elevation tropical grassland systems, called Páramo, provide essential ecosystem
services such as water storage and supply for surrounding and lowland areas.
Páramo systems are threatened by climate and land use ...
