OH Airglow for Ionospheric Seismology Applications—From Instrumental Noise Characterization to Rayleigh Waves Detection Threshold

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Airglow layers are powerful tracers of upper‐atmosphere dynamics because of their sensitivity to a broad spectrum of atmospheric wave phenomena. Seismic activity, and in particular Rayleigh waves, constitutes a forcing mechanism capable of generating infrasonic waves in the atmosphere.

Structure of the North‐Central Chile Subduction Zone From Local Earthquake Tomography

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The fluid cycle in subduction zones prescribes large parts of its structure and seismogenic behavior. Background seismicity inside the downgoing slab is linked to fluid release from dehydration reactions, whereas fluid overpressure along the plate interface can alter interplate coupling, megathrust earthquakes, and the presence or absence of ...

Rock Face Temperature Variability From Long‐Term High‐Frequency Infrared Thermography

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Changes in rock‐surface temperature generate thermal stresses and freeze–thaw conditions that can generate rockfalls. Capturing the full range of temperature variation, from seasonal variability to hourly extremes, is important, but data sets recording such characteristics with sufficient temporal and spatial resolution remain scarce, limiting

Operating Nomad during the Atacama Desert Trek [PDF]

, 1998
Nomad is a mobile robot designed for extended planetary exploration. In June and July of 1997, Nomad performed its first such mission, traversing more than 220 kilometers in the Atacama Desert of Chile and exploring a landscape analogous to that of the Moon and Mars.

In situ metabolism in halite endolithic microbial communities of the hyperarid Atacama Desert

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
The Atacama Desert of northern Chile is one of the driest regions on Earth, with areas that exclude plants and where soils have extremely low microbial biomass.

Plant life at the dry limit-Spatial patterns of floristic diversity and composition around the hyperarid core of the Atacama Desert.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Extreme arid conditions in the Atacama Desert in northern Chile have created a unique vegetation almost entirely restricted to the desert margins along the coast of the Pacific Ocean and the Andean range.
