Mid-Holocene Climate and Culture Change in the Atacama Desert, Northern Chile
AbstractTwenty archaeological campsites intercalated between more than 30 debris flows caused by heavy rainfall events between 6200 and 3100 14C yr B.P. have recently been discove…
Palaeoindian occupation of the Atacama Desert, northern Chile
AbstractPalaeoindian occupation of the Atacama Desert in northern Chile has been found between 12 600 and 10 200 cal. yr BP. The new site at Salar Punta Negra (24°28′S/60°53′W/297…
Mid- and late-Holocene limnogeology of Laguna del Negro Francisco, northern Chile, and its palaeoclimatic implications
Lacustrine sediments from the high elevation, endorheic, saline lake Negro Francisco (27°28'S/69°14'W, 4125 m) provide a detailed mid- and late-Holocene environmental history of …
Radiocarbon Reservoir Effect and the Timing of the Late-Glacial/Early Holocene Humid Phase in the Atacama Desert (North…
We revise substantially the regional chronology of lake-level fluctuations from the late-glacial/early Holocene humid phase along a high altitude transect (3500 to 4500 m) between…
Lacustrine sedimentation in active volcanic settings: the Late Quaternary depositional evolution of Lake Chungará (nort…
AbstractLake Chungará (18°15′S, 69°09′W, 4520 m above sea‐level) is the largest (22·5 km2) and deepest (40 m) lacustrine ecosystem in the Chilean Altiplano and its location in an …
A 22,000-Year Record of Monsoonal Precipitation from Northern Chile's Atacama Desert
Fossil rodent middens and wetland deposits from the central Atacama Desert (22° to 24°S) indicate increasing summer precipitation, grass cover, and groundwater levels from 16.2 to…
Late Holocene summer temperatures in the central Andes reconstructed from the sediments of high-elevation Laguna Chepic…
Abstract. High-resolution reconstructions of climate variability that cover the past millennia are necessary to improve the understanding of natural and anthropogenic climate chan…
Lago Verde and Lago Flaco: Gypsum-bound lakes of the Chilean altiplano
Two small perennial salt lakes in a salar of the Chilean altiplano have indurated bottom sediments and are bordered by damlike ramparts composed of almost pure gypsum. The bottom …
Formation of silica oncoids around geysers and hot springs at El Tatio, northern Chile
ABSTRACTSiliceous oncoids, up to 4 cm in diameter, are common on the laterally extensive sinter aprons that surround the spectacular geysers and hot springs at El Tatio in norther…
Physicochemical Parameters Affecting the Distribution and Diversity of the Water Column Microbial Community in the High…
Due to the low incidence of precipitation attributed to climate change, many high-altitude Andean lakes (HAALs) and lagoons distributed along the central Andes in South America ma…
Zooplankton of a mountain river and highland bogs in a wetlands complex in Atacama, an Altiplano desert, in northern Ch…
Abstract The Atacama is the world’s driest desert. It contains various types of wetlands. In general, the diversity and structure of the zooplankton in these wetlands have been ve…
Virus and Potential Host Microbes from Viral-Enriched Metagenomic Characterization in the High-Altitude Wetland, Salar …
Salar de Huasco is a wetland in the Andes mountains, located 3800 m above sea level at the Chilean Altiplano. Here we present a study aimed at characterizing the viral fraction an…
Human occupations and climate change in the Puna de Atacama, Chile
Widespread evidence for human occupation of the Atacama Desert, 20° to 25°S in northern Chile, has been found from 13,000 calibrated 14 C year…
In-stream wetland deposits, megadroughts, and cultural change in the northern Atacama Desert, Chile
AbstractA key concern regarding current and future climate change is the possibility of sustained droughts that can have profound impacts on societies. As such, multiple paleoclim…
A Model for Estimating the Vegetation Cover in the High-Altitude Wetlands of the Andes (HAWA)
The natural salt meadows of Tilopozo in the hyperarid, Atacama Desert of northern Chile, which are located at approximately 2800 m above sea level, are under pressure from industr…
Chromohalobacter nigrandesensis sp. nov., a moderately halophilic, Gram-negative bacterium isolated from Lake Tebenquic…
A total of 52 strains of moderately halophilic bacteria isolated from hypersaline sediment of Lake Tebenquiche on the Atacama Saltern, Chile, were subjected to a taxonomic study. …
Zooplankton of a mountain river and highland bogs in a wetlands complex in Atacama, an Altiplano desert, in northern Ch…
The Atacama “puna” (high-altitude plateau) is situated among the high peaks of the Andes at over 4000 m a.s.l. This ecosystem covers parts of north-eastern Chile, north-western Ar…
