Review of erosion dynamics along the major NS climatic gradient in Chile and perspectives
Chile is an elongated country, running in a north-south direction for more than 30° along a
subduction zone. Its climate is progressively wetter and colder from north to south. This …

Dust and aerosols in the Atacama Desert
F Arenas-Díaz, B Fuentes, M Reyers, S Fiedler… - Earth-Science …, 2022 - Elsevier
Abstract The Atacama Desert is one of the driest and oldest deserts on Earth. The extreme
scarcity of rainfall and hence very limited runoff, paired with endorheism, allow sediments …

Controls on long-term denudation rate of carbonate terrains in the Eastern Mediterranean
Quantifying denudation rates under different climatic and tectonic settings is fundamental to
understanding landscape evolution. Carbonate rocks may respond differently to climatic and …

Gradients in climate, geology, and topography affecting coastal alluvial fan morphodynamics in hyperarid regions–The Atacama perspective
Along the coast of the hyperarid Atacama Desert, late Quaternary alluvial fans emerge from
the Coastal Cordillera to the Pacific Ocean between 20.5° S and 25.5° S. Coastal alluvial …
