Chirripo Hydrological Research Site: advancing stable isotope hydrology in the Central American Paramo
(AUTHOREA, 2021)Tropical mountainous ecosystems are recognized as providers of valuable ecological and hydrological services (Viviroli et al, 2007). In Central America, the P aramo, a high-elevation tropical grassland ecosystem, extends ... -
Chirripó Hydrological Research Site: advancing stable isotope hydrology in the Central American Páramo
(2020-01-25)The Chirripó Hydrological Research Site (CHRS) is located within the Chirripó National Park, Costa Rica (between 3,100-3,820 m asl) whereby ~100 km2 are covered by Páramo, a high‐elevation tropical grassland ecosystem. A ... -
Deciphering key processes controlling rainfall isotopic variability during extreme tropical cyclones
(2019-09)The Mesoamerican and Caribbean (MAC) region is characterized by tropical cyclones (TCs), strong El Niño-Southern Oscillation events, and climate variability that bring unique hazards to socio-ecological systems. Here we ... -
Groundwater and surface water connectivity within the recharge area of Guarani aquifer system during El Niño 2014–2016
(Wiley & Sons, 2018)Recharge areas of the Guarani Aquifer System (GAS) are particularly sensitive and vulnerable to climate variability; therefore, the understanding of infiltration mechanisms for aquifer recharge and surface run‐off generation ... -
Hydrometeorological Factors Controlling the Stable Isotopic Composition of Precipitation in the Highlands of South Ecuador
(American Meteorological Society (Estados Unidos), 2022-07)Knowledge about precipitation generation remains limited in the tropical Andes due to the lack of water stable isotope (WSI) data. Therefore, we investigated the key factors controlling the isotopic composition of precipitation ... -
Isotopic variability (δ18O, δ2 H and d-excess) during rainfall events of the north American monsoon across the Sonora River Basin, Mexico
(Elsevier Ltd, 2021)The economic activities of the Sonora strongly depend on groundwater extraction, which is generally of recent meteoric origin. Understanding the hydrological functioning in this semi-arid region, located in northwestern Mexico, ... -
Moisture transport and seasonal variations in the stable isotopic composition of rainfall in Central American and Andean Páramo during El Niño conditions (2015–2016)
(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2019)High‐elevation tropical grassland systems, called Páramo, provide essential ecosystem services such as water storage and supply for surrounding and lowland areas. Páramo systems are threatened by climate and land use ... -
Stable isotopic characterization of nitrate wet deposition in the tropical urban atmosphere of Costa Rica
(Research Square, 2021)Increasing energy consumption and food production worldwide results in anthropogenic emissions of reactive nitrogen into the atmosphere. To date, however, little information is available on tropical urban environments where ...
