Co-ideation of disaster preparedness strategies through a participatory design approach: Challenges and opportunities experienced at Turrialba volcano, Costa Rica
(Elsevier, 2015)
Disaster preparedness is key to coping and adaptation during the immediate
aftermath of a natural hazard, but the majority of those at risk do not feel
prepared. In this participatory action research we investigate the ...
A long-term record of polythionates in the acid crater-lake of Poás volcano: Changes in the subaqueous input of fumarolic gases
(IAVCEI. General Assembly. Pucón-Chile, 2004-01)
Historia eruptiva del volcán Turrialba y sus impactos
(Ambientico. Revista Mensual, 2015-06)
Relationship between Diffuse CO2 Degassing and Volcanic Activity. Case Study of the Poás, Irazú, and Turrialba Volcanoes, Costa Rica
(Frontiers in Earth Science, 2017-10-11)
Active volcanoes exhibit diffuse gas emanations through the ground, the most abundant species of which is CO2. However, the relationship between diffuse degassing and volcanic activity is not often clear and some volcanoes ...
Assessing species traits and landscape relationships of the mammalian carnivore community in a neotropical biological corridor
(Biodiversity and Conservation, 2016-04-06)
Mammalian carnivores play an important role in regulating food webs and ecosystems. While many carnivore populations are facing various threats such as habitat loss and fragmentation, poaching, and illegal trade, others ...
New insights into Kawah Ijen’s volcanic system from the wet volcano workshop experiment
(Geological Society London Special Publications, 2016-02-25)
Volcanoes with crater lakes and/or extensive hydrothermal systems pose significant challenges with respect to monitoring and forecasting eruptions, but they also provide new opportunities to enhance our understanding of ...
Microbial Community Structure Along a Horizontal Oxygen Gradient in a Costa Rican Volcanic Influenced Acid Rock Drainage System
(Springer, 2020)
We describe the geochemistry and microbial diversity of a pristine environment that resembles an acid rock drainage (ARD) but it is actually the result of hydrothermal and volcanic influences. We designate this environment, ...
Morphological and geochemical features of crater lakes in Costa Rica: an overview
(Journal of limnology, 2009)
This paper describes the compositional and morphological features of the crater lakes found in the volcanoes of Rincón de La Vieja, Poás, Irazú, Congo and Tenorio volcanoes (Costa Rica). As evidenced by the distribution ...
Halogen activation in the plume of Masaya volcano: field observations and box model investigations
(Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2020)
Volcanic emissions are a source of halogens to the atmosphere. Rapid reactions convert the initially emitted hydrogen halides (HCl, HBr, HI) into reactive species e.g. BrO, Br2, BrCl, ClO, OClO and IO. The activation ...
Scavenging on sea turtle carcasses by multiple jaguars in northwestern Costa Rica
(Therya, 2016)
Information on scavenging by jaguars is scarce, dispersed and little documented in the scientific literature, producing a shallow understanding of this phenomenon. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to describe the behavior ...
