Flood risk index development at the municipal level in Costa Rica: A methodological framework
(2022)
Floods constitute one of the most damaging natural hazards in the world. Seasonal and extraordinary rainfall
recurrently trigger different types of floods in Costa Rica. An integrated and efficient flood risk management
requires ...
Climate reverses directionality in the richness–abundance relationship across the World’s main forest biomes
(2020-11-06)
More tree species can increase the carbon storage capacity of forests (here referred to as the
more species hypothesis) through increased tree productivity and tree abundance resulting
from complementarity, but they can ...
Flood Risk-Related Research Trends in Latin America and the Caribbean
(2022)
Abstract: Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), like many other regions in the world, are areas
that are prone to hydrometeorological disasters, which threaten livelihoods and cause economic
losses. To derive LAC’s ...
Water stable isotopes reveal the hydrological response of Costa Rican glacial lakes to climate variability
(2022)
Lakes are generally considered a key information source for understanding paleoclimate. Here, we use stable water isotopes (δ2H and δ18O) in a high-elevation tropical glacial lake to inform about modern climate variability ...
Dendrogeomorphology as a tool to depict hydrogeomorphic processes in the tropics
La dendrogeomorfología como una herramienta para representar procesos hidrogeomorfológicos en los trópicos
(2023-01)
Climatic and anthropogenic changes cause the deprivation of distinct
ecosystems in Costa Rica, transforming climatic, ecological, and geomorphic
conditions. The high tropical biodiversity of Costa Rica and the tropics ...

Rica live upon ...
Geomorphology of the Upper General River Basin, Costa Rica
(2019)
In spite of the geomorphological diversity of Central America and Costa Rica, there are few
detailed geomorphological maps. A 1:25,000 scale map of the Upper General River Basin
(UGRB) in Costa Rica is presented, based ...
Tropical paleoglacial geoheritage inventory for geotourism management of Chirripó National Park, Costa Rica
(2020-06-24)
Globally, most active tropical glacial landscapes are found at elevations above 4000 m. Nonetheless, the presence of paleoglacial
landforms in low latitudes, especially those formed during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), ...
