Are coastal deserts necessarily dew deserts? An example from the Tabernas Desert
Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2020 Abstract Vapor condensation, whether due to dew or fog, may add a stable and important source of water to deserts. This was also extensively assessed in the Negev, regarded as a dew desert. Dew deserts necessitate a large reservoir of vapor, and are therefore confined to near oceans or seas. Yet, examples of such deserts are scarce. Here

Deinococcus peraridilitoris sp. nov., isolated from a coastal desert [PDF]
International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2007 Three ionizing-radiation-resistant bacterial strains (designated KR-196, KR-198 and KR-200T) were isolated from a sample of arid soil collected from a coastal desert in Chile. The soil sample was irradiated before serial dilution plating was performed using one-tenth-strength plate count agar. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences showed

Ancient Photosynthetic Eukaryote Biofilms in an Atacama Desert Coastal Cave [PDF]
Microbial Ecology, 2009 Caves offer a stable and protected environment from harsh and changing outside prevailing conditions. Hence, they represent an interesting habitat for studying life in extreme environments. Here, we report the presence of a member of the ancient eukaryote red algae Cyanidium group in a coastal cave of the hyperarid Atacama Desert.

Zur relativen und absoluten Geochronologie der Reliefentwicklung an der Küste des mittleren Südwestafrika [PDF]
Eiszeitalter und Gegenwart, 1975 Results concerning Quaternary geomorphic events in Coastal Namib Desert are presented. We found two high stands and one low stand of the sea level. We obtained radiocarbon dates of Intra-wurm age (ca.
