  Diederich, Julia L.; Wennrich, Volker; Bao, Roberto; Büttner, Christoph; Bolten, Andreas; Brill, Dominik; Buske, Stefan; Campos, Eduardo; Fernández-Galego, Emma; Gödickmeier, Peggy; Ninnemann, Lukas; Reyers, Mark; Ritter, Benedikt; Ritterbach, Laura; Rolf, Christian; Scheidt, Stephanie; Dunai, Tibor J.; Melles, Martin (Elsevier, 2020-01)

  [Abstract] The Atacama Desert in northern Chile is one of the driest deserts on Earth. Hyperaridity persists at least since the Miocene and was punctuated by pluvial phases. However, very little is known about the timing, ...

• Diatom-inferred ecological responses of an oceanic lake system to volcanism and anthropogenic perturbations since 1290 CE 

  Vázquez-Loureiro, David; Gonçalves, Vítor; Sáez, Alberto; Hernández, Armand; Raposeiro, Pedro Miguel; Giralt, Santiago; Rubio-Inglés, María Jesús; Rull, Valentí; Bao, Roberto (Elsevier, 2019-07-29)

  [Abstract] The impacts of natural- and human-induced processes on lake ecosystems in remote oceanic islands remain to be fully elucidated. These lakes are excellent candidates to analyze the importance of anthropogenic ...

• Centennial-scale precipitation anomalies in the southern Altiplano (18° S) suggest an extratropical driver for the South American summer monsoon during the late Holocene 

  Jara, Ignacio A.; Maldonado, Antonio; González, Leticia; Hernández, Armand; Sáez, Alberto; Giralt, Santiago; Bao, Roberto; Valero Garcés, B. L. (European Geosciences Union, 2019-10-16)

  [Abstract] Modern precipitation anomalies in the Altiplano, South America, are closely linked to the strength of the South American summer monsoon (SASM), which is influenced by large-scale climate features sourced in the ...

• Temperature effects explain continental scale distribution of cyanobacterial toxins 

  Mantzouki, Evanthia; Delgado Martín, Jordi; García, David; Cereijo, Jose Luís; Carballeira, Rafael; Ibelings, Bas W. (MDPI, 2018-04-13)

  [Abstract] Insight into how environmental change determines the production and distribution of cyanobacterial toxins is necessary for risk assessment. Management guidelines currently focus on hepatotoxins (microcystins). ...

• Potential Impact of Climate Change on Suspended Sediment Yield in NW Spain: A Case Study on the Corbeira Catchment 

  Rodríguez-Blanco, María-Luz; Arias, Ricardo; Taboada Castro, María Mercedes; Nunes, Joao Pedro; Keizer, Jan Jacob; Taboada Castro, María Teresa (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2016)

  Soil losses and the subsequent sediment delivery constitute significant environmental threats. Climate change is likely to have an impact on the availability of water and therefore on sediment yield in catchments. In this ...
