Habitar La Pampa en la palabra: la creación poética del salitre

Revista de Ciencias Sociales, 2003
En este artículo el autor explica el surgimiento de la creación poética en el desierto de Atacama durante el desarrollo del período salitrero. El autor hace una distinción entre “pampa” y desierto, donde la primera está relacionada con el “habitar” y la

Rederas en la costa del desierto de Atacama

, 2022
En el puerto de Caldera del desierto de Atacama, la llegada de dos pesqueras de actividad industrial genera una mayor oferta de trabajo desde los años ochenta. Es dentro de este contexto que surgen las mujeres rederas. El rol de la mujer en estas labores de la pesca ha cobrado cada vez más protagonismo en los procesos de modernización propios de la ...

Soilless Production of Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) in the Atacama Desert Using Fog Water: Water Quality and Produce Mineral Composition

Horticulturae
Soilless vegetable production in the Atacama Desert of Northern Chile is spreading since it is perceived as an alternative that requires much less water than open field soil production.

Policy, Waste, and Power: Textile Dumping in Chile's Atacama Desert

Latin American Policy, Volume 17, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Globally, 87% of textile fibers end up incinerated or in landfills, with Chile bearing the brunt of this crisis. Every year, 39,000 tons of discarded clothing are illegally dumped in the Atacama Desert, turning it into a sacrifice zone for the Global North's waste economy.

Microbial Contribution to Soiling and Its Impact on Photovoltaic Module Soiling in Arid Zones of the Atacama Desert

Advanced Sustainable Systems, Volume 10, Issue 4, April 2026.
Microorganisms colonizing photovoltaic surfaces in the Atacama desert form biofilms that enhance particle adhesion and reduce energy yield. This study identifies UV‐resistant bacteria and carotenoid‐producing strains that interfere with PV performance.

Unlocking the fog: assessing fog collection potential and need as a complementary water resource in arid urban lands–the Alto Hospicio, Chile case

Frontiers in Environmental Science
Water scarcity is a rising issue in fast-growing cities in arid lands, where demand outpaces supply. This leads to non-renewable water systems and exacerbates social inequalities.

Experimental and Numerical Investigation of the Characteristic Length Governing Soil Evaporation in Layered Sands

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract In arid and semi‐arid regions, ecosystems exist with shallow water tables, where evaporation is a key component of the water balance. However, systematically addressing soil evaporation remains challenging due to differing interpretations of the mechanisms that control it.

Assessment of Soiling Dynamics and Cleaning Efficiency for Photovoltaic Modules Under Different Dust Environments

Solar RRL, Volume 10, Issue 6, 29 March 2026.
A laboratory framework reproduces site‐specific soiling and cleaning dynamics of photovoltaic modules using real dusts from contrasting climates. Accelerated humidity–temperature cycling replicates 1 month of outdoor cementation in only ≈ 1.5 days.

"LA DESCHILENIZACIÓN EN EL DESIERTO DE ATACAMA DURANTE LA POSTGUERRA"

Uyuni, 2018
Este artículo propone una reinterpretación crítica del devenir social, político y económico de un territorio que, por su singularidad y riqueza mineral, despertó un fuerte interés y una expansión violenta del capitalismo minero en manos de ingleses y chilenos.

Microstratigraphy and Site Formation Processes at Quebrada Jaguay 280 (Peru)

Geoarchaeology, Volume 41, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT This study presents a microanalytical, geoarchaeological study of Quebrada Jaguay (QJ)‐280, a Terminal Pleistocene–Holocene coastal site in southern Peru. Combining micromorphology, µXRF and µFTIR, we develop a site formation model that also reassesses site use and forager behaviour.
