Endemic human fasciolosis in the Bolivian Altiplano

Epidemiology and Infection, 2006
SUMMARYFasciolosis, caused by trematodes of the genusFasciola, is an emerging disease of humans. One of the highest levels of human fasciolosis hepatica is found amongst the indigenous Aymaran people of the Northern Bolivian Altiplano. A meta-analysis of epidemiological surveys from 38 communities in the region demonstrates that fasciolosis has been ...

Investigating the Magma Reservoir of Taupō Volcano Using Receiver Functions

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The Taupō Volcanic Zone (TVZ), one of the most active volcanic systems globally, poses significant hazards. To improve our understanding of crustal structure and implications for hazards, we apply P‐to‐S receiver function analysis, supplemented by S‐to‐P for validation, to temporary seismic network data surrounding Taupō volcano. This provides

The Southern Altiplano of Bolivia [PDF]

, 2015
Quinoa has been a staple food for Andean populations for millennia. Today, it is a much-appreciated product on the international health-food, organic and fair-trade food markets. Quinoa producers in the southern Altiplano of Bolivia initiated this change approximately 40 years ago.

Spatial Variation of Acidic Sodic Soils in High‐Andean Environments and Theoretical Estimation of Gypsum Requirement

Soil Use and Management, Volume 42, Issue 3, July‐September 2026.
ABSTRACT High‐Andean forage systems are characterized by extensive management of cultivated forages, primarily through rotation of forage oats (Avena sativa) and alfalfa (Medicago sativa), under marginal edaphoclimatic conditions. Within this context, soil sodicity severely constrains the productivity of these systems in the districts of Ayaviri and ...

Atmospheric Dust Transport to High‐Elevation Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica, Modulated by Cyclonic Circulation, the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, and Source Emissions

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract The dependence of aeolian dust transport on atmospheric circulation patterns allows dust preserved in Antarctic ice cores to serve as a proxy for past circulation variability. Here, we investigate dust transport to high‐elevation Dronning Maud Land (DML) in Antarctica through analysis of the 1300‐year‐old ISOL‐ICE ice core dust record together

An Isotope‐Based Snapshot Reveals the Combined Influence of High‐Elevation Recharge and Local Return Flows on Groundwater Across Guatemala City

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 6, June 2026.
Representation (not to scale) of potential high elevation recharge and low elevation return flows within the Guatemala City metropolitan area. ABSTRACT Guatemala City is the most populous urban center in Central America. In this urban center, groundwater extraction within the last 40 years has substantially declined water table levels and accelerated ...

Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...

Improved Constraints on Andean Glaciations From the Lake Titicaca Continental Drilling Record

Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 41, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Long sedimentary records from tropical lakes provide crucial archives for reconstructing the timing and extent of tropical alpine glaciations, yet robust chronologies beyond the radiocarbon limit (ca. 50 ka) remain scarce. Here, we refine the ca. 350 kyr chronology for Lake Titicaca (Peru‐Bolivia) using radiocarbon dating, optically stimulated
