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

The astroclimatological comparison of the Paranal Observatory and El Roque de Los Muchachos Observatory

, 2009
The new extremely large telescope projects need accurate evaluation of the candidate sites. In this paper we present the astroclimatological comparison between the Paranal Observatory, located on the coast of the Atacama Desert (Chile), and the ...

Seismic Stratigraphy of the Peruvian Forearc Drifts from 3° to 7°S: Identification and Influence of Lower Layers of the Humboldt Current System

Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 41, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The seafloor morphology and subsurface geometry of a late Neogene contourite drift located along the Peru margin is documented for the first time using multibeam bathymetry, two‐dimensional and three‐dimensional seismic data. Along the margin several submarine canyons incise the shelf and slope.

Cultivation‐Based Detection of a Novel High‐GC Nitrospira Derived From the Argentinian Copahue Volcano Area

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 4, April 2026.
In this cultivation‐based study, two novel moderately thermophilic Nitrospira enrichments were obtained from the geothermal field Las Máquinas in the Neuquén Province, Argentina. Both nitrite oxidizers, belonging to lineage V or the novel taxonomic lineage VIII, contain quorum‐sensing genes and a high genome GC content of 60.6% and 69.4%.

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.

Terrestrial ages of meteorites from the Atacama Desert (Chile) and insights into the past meteorite flux to Earth

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 4, Page 644-663, April 2026.
Abstract The Atacama Desert in Chile is characterized by its high meteorite density and old meteorite terrestrial ages. In this work, we present new terrestrial ages derived from measurements of the concentration of cosmogenic 36Cl in the metal fraction of 51 ordinary chondrites collected over a 6.8 km2 area located in the Catalina Dense Collection ...

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.
