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 ...

Influència de la sal en el desenvolupament tectònic de la Cordillera Oriental dels Andes de Colòmbia [PDF]
La presència de capes de sal en conques sedimentàries no sempre és fàcil d'observar a causa de processos geològics posteriors com ara la compressió. Un estudi recent ha trobat evidències d'antigues estructures salines a la regió de Guaitiquía, al front d'

Abstract figure legend In lowland mammals that ascend to high elevation, hypoxia‐induced changes in the pulmonary circulation can give rise to hypoxic pulmonary hypertension (HPH) and associated right‐ventricle (RV) hypertrophy. Andean mice with broad elevational ranges have greater heart mass relative to body size at higher elevations, but they ...
