Isotopic composition in precipitation and groundwater in the northern mountainous region of the Central Valley of Costa Rica
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)
The linkage between precipitation and recharge is still poorlyunderstood in the Central America region. This study focuses onstable isotopic composition in precipitation and groundwater in the northern mountainous region ...
Event report: “Green adaptation strategies for water security in the Central American Dry Corridor”. Nicoya, Costa Rica.
(Universidad Tecnológica de Dresde, Alemania, 2019-11)
This document contains the report of the workshop entitled “Green adaptation strategies for water security in the Central American dry corridor” organized in Nicoya, Costa Rica, on 26 March 2019. The workshop represented ...
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 ...
GPS PrecipitableWater Vapor Estimations over Costa Rica: A Comparison against Atmospheric Sounding and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS)
(MDPI, 2019)
The quantification of water vapor in tropical regions like Central America is necessary to estimate the influence of climate change on its distribution and the formation of precipitation. This work reports daily estimations ...
Climate And Water Conflicts Coevolution From Tropical Development And Hydro-Climatic Perspectives: A Case Study Of Costa Rica
(American water resources Association, 2018)
Costa Rica is a nation with a vast wealth of water resources; however, recently the country has
faced water conflicts (WC) due to social, economic, legal, and political impediments in response to limited water
availability ...
Hydrogeological responses in tropical mountainous springs
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2018)
This study presents a hydrogeochemical analysis of spring
responses (2013–2017) in the tropical mountainous region of the
Central Valley of Costa Rica. The isotopic distribution of δ18O and
δ2
H in rainfall resulted ...
Key drivers controlling stable isotope variations in daily precipitation of Costa Rica: Caribbean Sea versus Eastern Pacific Ocean moisture sources
(Elsevier, 2016)
Costa Rica is located on the Central American Isthmus, which receives moisture inputs directly from the Caribbean Sea and the Eastern Pacific Ocean. This location includes unique mountainous and lowland microclimates, but ...
Seasonal and Diel Patterns of Total Gaseous Mercury Concentration In Atmospheric Air of the Central Valley of Costa Rica
(2011)
Monitoring mercury in atmospheric air near volcanoes is limited with no previous data for Costa Rica. Seasonal and daily patterns of total gaseous mercury (TGM) were observed at our main sampling location at the Universidad ...
First Measurements of Biogenic Hydrocarbons in Air in a Tropical Cloudy Forest, Monteverde, Costa Rica
(David Publishing Compan, 2011)
Measurements of biogenic hydrocarbons in ambient air were carried out during 2008 in a cloud y tropical forest in Monteverde, Costa Rica. Isoprene, α-pinene, β-pinene, 3-carene, d-limonene and γ-terpinene were sampled by ...
