Enforcing environmental law in the Amazon

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 7, Page 2281-2294, July 2026.
Abstract This article identifies the underlying obstacles to enforcement of laws against environmental crimes such as illegal logging, mining and ranching. With four departments (provinces) from Colombia as case studies, it assesses enforcement of the country's main environmental law, Law 2111, which is one of Latin America's strongest. The article has

A Transient Coastal Uplift Event Revealed by Pleistocene Marine Terraces Along the 2015 M8.3 Illapel Earthquake Rupture, Chile

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Uplifted Pleistocene marine terraces in the Illapel area along the forearc of central Chile record spatially and temporally variable uplift rates on glacial‐cycle timescales. However, the underlying mechanisms for this uplift variability and its potential relationship with the megathrust‐earthquake cycle remain poorly understood.

Volcanic stratigraphy archiving in Patagonia as a tool for conservation, outreach, and risk awareness

Revista de Estudios Latinoamericanos sobre Reducción del Riesgo de Desastres
This paper describes how we use volcanic stratigraphy archives, called ‘sediment plates’ or ‘epoxy plates’, primarily as a communication tool to raise hazards and risk awareness in Chaitén, Chile.

The Decline of a Caldera‐Filling Glacier at Volcán Sollipulli, Chile

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Southern Andean glaciers have undergone fast retreat in recent decades. This results in reduced freshwater storage, contribution to sea‐level rise, and locally to the formation of glacial lakes, that may pose the risk of glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs).

Water and Artisanal and Small‐Scale Gold Mining: A Review of the Literature

WIREs Water, Volume 13, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
This paper reviews the relationships between artisanal and small‐scale gold mining (ASGM) and water. We show the variegated impacts ASGM has on water and, thus, socio‐ecological systems and health. We conclude by identifying gaps in the scholarship.

Estudio sistemático de los Foraminíferos bentónicos de las arenas fosilíferas del plioceno de Huelva: su significado paleológico

Estudios Geologicos, 1989
Los Foraminíferos bentónicos son muy representativos de los materiales del Neógeno en el sector occidental de la Cuenca del Guadalquivir. Las variaciones en las proporciones de las distintas especies son la base del estudio paleoecológico realizado en el

Structure of the North‐Central Chile Subduction Zone From Local Earthquake Tomography

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The fluid cycle in subduction zones prescribes large parts of its structure and seismogenic behavior. Background seismicity inside the downgoing slab is linked to fluid release from dehydration reactions, whereas fluid overpressure along the plate interface can alter interplate coupling, megathrust earthquakes, and the presence or absence of ...
