Tracer-aided modelling reveals quick runo generation and groundwater losses producing young stream ow ages in a tropical rainforest catchment
(2021-05-29)
There is still limited understanding of how waters mix, where waters come from and for how long they reside in tropical catchments. In this study, we used a tracer-aided model (TAM) and a gamma convolution integral model ...
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 ...
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 ...
Hydrogeochemical baseline in a human altered landscape of the Central Pacific coast of Costa Rica
(Springer Nature, 2020)
Abstract Groundwater pollution in tropical and human-altered coastal landscapes is receiving novel
attention due to decreasing in annual recharge as a consequence of recurrent droughts and overexploitation, whereby saline ...
Investigating the impacts of biochar on water fluxes in 2 tropical agriculture using stable isotopes
(European Geosciences Union, 2020)
Amending soils with biochar, a pyrolyzed organic material, is an emerging practice to potentially increase plant available water. However, it is not clear (1) to what extent biochar amendments increase soil water storage ...
Validación de un método de cromatografía líquida (HPLC-UV/Vis) para la cuantificación de aldehídos agua de lluvia y aire
(2023-07-13)
Los aldehídos son compuestos presentes en la atmósfera que se forman por la degradación fotoquímica de otros compuestos orgánicos en la tropósfera, pueden ser emitidos por fuentes naturales o antropogénicas. En el presente ...
Riesgo químico por exposición laboral a SO2 y H2S en el Parque Nacional Volcán Poás
(Universidad Nacional (Costa Rica), 2023-08-01)
[Objetivo] Verificar el cumplimiento de los niveles de exposición a SO2 y H2S, de los guardaparques del parque, tomando como referencia la norma internacional OSHA. [Metodología] Se estudió la concentración del SO2 desde ...
