Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 59, Issue 4, December 2021., 2021 Abstract Tropical hydroclimatic events, characterized by extreme regional rainfall anomalies, were a recurrent feature of marine isotope stages 2–4 and involved some of the most abrupt and dramatic climatic changes in the late Quaternary. These anomalies were pervasive throughout the tropics and resulted from the southward displacement of the Hadley ...

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 22, Issue 11, November 2021., 2021 Abstract The past 100 years have seen the occurrence of five earthquakes and 94 earthquakes. Here we assess the potential for future great earthquakes using inferences of interseismic subduction zone coupling from a global block model incorporating both tectonic plate motions and earthquake cycle effects.

Hydroacoustic estimation of fish biomass in the Gulf of Nicoya, Costa Rica
Revista de Biología Tropical, 1969 Se utílizó un diseño muestral estratificado para llevar a cabo una evaluación hidroacústica de la sección interior del Golfo de Nicoya. La topografía submarina fue modelada introduciendo el concepto topográfico de la cuenca, como una forma de proyectar los estimados del muestreo a todo el Golfo interno.

People and Nature, Volume 2, Issue 1, Page 61-81, March 2020., 2020 Abstract Co‐management has been advocated as an effective tool to achieve natural resource conservation worldwide. Yet, the potential of co‐management arrangements can fail to be realized when there is insufficient local engagement. In this perspective paper, we argue that co‐management schemes focusing on culturally important species (CIS) can help ...
