Analyzing human factors and complexities of mining and O&G process accidents using FRAM: Copiapó (Chile) and FPSO CSM (Brazil) cases

Process safety progress, 2022
The study presented in this research is a systematic human factors approach comparing two striking process accidents in Latin America: the Copiapó mining accident (2010), at the San José copper–gold mine, in Chile, and the FPSO CSM accident (2015), at ...

Written in bones: palaeoclimate histotaphonomic history inferred from a complete Megatherium skeleton preserved in the Atacama Desert

Palaeontology, Volume 68, Issue 4, July/August 2025.
Abstract A nearly complete and relatively well‐preserved skeleton of the giant ground sloth Megatherium sp. in the hyperarid core of the Atacama Desert reveals how climate related taphonomic processes drastically transformed these remains over time.

Local institutional adaptation to groundwater overexploitation challenges: case study from Copiapó aquifer, Chile

Water international
Chile’s approach to water management, based on a private property regimen combined with a period of extreme drought, had led to the overexploitation of groundwater.

Slip Modes Along a Structurally‐Driven Earthquake Barrier in Chile

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 6, June 2025.
Abstract Oceanic ridges often collocate with seismic barriers and episodic aseismic slip. However, how subducted seafloor topography drives interactions between slow and fast slip remains unclear. Here, using GNSS, InSAR and seismicity, we show interactions between a deep slow slip event (SSE) and a nearby shallow earthquake sequence that occurred in ...

Atacama Regional Museum

ARQ
In some cases, a building is an extension of its setting. Inspired by the extreme conditions of the desert and using materials that evoke the mineral richness of the area, the Regional Museum of Atacama presents itself as an expansion of its surroundings.

Detecting hybridization in Chilean species of the genus Baccharis L.

Plant Biology, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 255-264, March 2025.
Genotyping‐by‐sequencing was used to clarify the hybrid character of Baccharis × intermedia, originating from the species B. macraei and B. linearis. Abstract The genus Baccharis in Chile is an extraordinary example of admixture, previously described only morphologically and chemically.

A New Class of Distributions Generated by the Extended Bimodal-Normal Distribution

Journal of Probability and Statistics, 2018
In this study, we present a new family of distributions through generalization of the extended bimodal-normal distribution. This family includes several special cases, like the normal, Birnbaum-Saunders, Student’s t, and Laplace distribution, that are ...

The Past Is Never Dead: Soil Pollution from Mining in the Copiapó River Basin (Northern Chile)

Soil Systems
This short paper analyses the concentrations of two major components (Fe, S) and eight trace elements (As, Au, Co, Cu, Hg, Ni, Mn, Zn) in soils and tailings from Tierra Amarilla (northern Chile) using ICP-Ms analysis.

Resolving the early‐diverging clades of Loasaceae subfam. Loasoideae – Segregating the new genus Prosa from the Atacama Desert genus Huidobria

TAXON, Volume 74, Issue 1, Page 101-116, February 2025.
Abstract Huidobria, an enigmatic genus in the Loasaceae family, has long puzzled botanists due to its unclear phylogenetic position and morphological distinctiveness within Loasaceae. Focusing on its two species, H. chilensis and H. fruticosa, we employed the Angiosperms353 target probe set alongside a comprehensive morphological evaluation to resolve ...
