Ultraviolet radiation in the Atacama Desert
Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek, 2018The world's highest levels of surface ultraviolet (UV) irradiance have been measured in the Atacama Desert. This area is characterized by its high altitude, prevalent cloudless conditions, and a relatively low total ozone column. In this paper, we provide estimates of the surface UV (monthly UV index at noon and annual doses of UV-B and UV-A) for all ...

Fungal diversity in the Atacama Desert
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 2018Fungi are generally easily dispersed, able to colonise a wide variety of substrata and can tolerate diverse environmental conditions. However, despite these abilities, the diversity of fungi in the Atacama Desert is practically unknown. Most of the resident fungi in desert regions are ubiquitous.

The Atacama Desert Trek: outcomes
Proceedings. 1998 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (Cat. No.98CH36146), 2002In June and July 1997, Nomad, a planetary-relevant mobile robot, traversed more than 220 kilometers across the barren Atacama Desert in Chile, exploring a landscape analogous to the surfaces of the Moon and Mars. In this unprecedented demonstration, Nomad operated both autonomously and under the control of operators thousands of kilometers away ...

Geology and geochemistry of the Atacama Desert
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 2018The Atacama Desert, the driest of its kind on Earth, hosts a number of unique geological and geochemical features that make it unlike any other environment on the planet. Considering its location on the western border of South America, between 17 and 28 °S, its climate has been characterized as arid to hyperarid for at least the past 10 million years ...

Marine Communities in the Atacama Desert
2019Chapter 2 reviews ancient maritime communities for the hyperarid coast of northern Chile and southernmost Peru throughout the Holocene, with focus on the mid-Holocene Archaic Period. Two regions represent the exorheic and arheic coasts: Caleta Vitor (9,500 cal BP through the Inca occupation) and Copaco (mostly 7100 to 5200 cal BP), respectively ...

ALMA – the Atacama large millimeter array
Advances in Space Research, 2004The Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) is a major ground-based telescope for millimeter and submillimeter astronomy to be realized during this decade. It is comprised of 64 antennas of 12 m diameter, each of which is equipped with receivers in ten frequency bands that cover the atmospheric windows from 30 to 950 GHz. All the antennas may be moved on
