The coasts of central Chile are increasingly affected by human activity. To date, there are no
clear symptoms of shoreline change in the area; however, the incidence of recent extreme …

Coastal erosion in 45 sandy beaches covering nearly 2000 km along the tectonically active
Chilean coast is assessed during the last four decades. The historical analysis is based on …

Sandy coastlines are very dynamic spaces affected by a variety of natural and human
factors. In Central Chile, changes in oceanographic and wave conditions, modes of inter …

Abstract On September 16, 2015, a M w 8.3 earthquake struck the north-central Chile coast,
triggering a tsunami observed along 500 km of coastline, between Huasco (28.5° S) and …

Economic costs associated to coastal erosion are projected in 45 sandy beaches in Chilean
coasts. We compare mid-century (2026–2045) and end-of-century projections (2081–2100) …

This paper summarizes the calibration and validation of a 35-year wave hindcast database
used to create the Chilean Wave Atlas. The hindcast was generated with the Wavewatch III …

In this paper, we report meteotsunamis occurring along the Chilean and Peruvian coasts.
These atmospherically induced tsunami-like oscillations were instrumentally recorded …

Sandy coastlines in Chile currently have strong erosive tendencies. However, little is known
about the morphodynamics of these coastlines; such knowledge would allow us to …

Economic costs due to operational downtime and wave overtopping under the RCP 8.5
scenario are evaluated at 7 Chilean ports. Wave statistics for a historical period (1985 …

We propose the first unified objective framework (SyCLoPS) for detecting and classifying all
types of low‐pressure systems (LPSs) in a given data set. We use the state‐of‐the‐art …
