We show that the concurrence of El Niño and climate-fueled droughts and heatwaves boost the local fire risk and have decisively contributed to the intense fire activity recently seen in Central Chile. Our results also suggest that the tropical eastern Pacific Ocean variability modulates the season...
We modeled future climate risk for Chile's terrestrial vegetation using a high-resolution vegetation map and tested the relationship to climate risk for each type's latitudinal and elevation range. We found that 43.6% of all vegetation has high climate risk in Global Circulation Models (GCMs) ...
The Mediterranean climate regime, which is characterized by hot, dry summers and cool, wet winters, resembles the climate of the lands in the Mediterranean Basin, parts of western North America, parts of Western and South Australia, in southwestern South Africa and in parts of central Chile. ...
The decrease in production has had a direct impact on the number of harvesting jobs available, since each hectare of chile cultivation usually means 150 seasonal jobs. The production shortage for chiles will be offset by more imports from Peru and China. At latest count, 770 municipalities are ...
The resulting 2022 Chicago CAP establishes a roadmap to bold action and represents a vanguard of next generation CAPs anchored in inclusion, collaboration and good use of alternative funding. Built around five pillars and associated strategies and actions, the plan will deliver multiple, meaningful be...
ImageThe eruption of the Calbuco volcano (2015) seen from Puerto Montt Chile is a country used to natural disasters as much as to the reconstruction process. However, the frequency of these cycles has increased over the years. According to the Ministry of Interior (Homeland), 43% of all ...
The soils in large areas of the Southern Hemisphere, including major portions ofAustralia, Africa and South America, have been drying up in the past decade, according to the first major study of evapotranspiration on aglobalbasis. This is the first time we’ve ever been able to compile observ...

The disappearance of many North American megafauna at the end of the Pleistocene is a contentious topic. While the proposed causes for megafaunal extinction are varied, most researchers fall into three broad camps emphasizing human overhunting, climate c
