Projected climate change impacts on tropical life zones in Costa Rica. Progress in Physical Geography: Earth and Environment
(2021)
Efforts to protect tropical ecosystems aim at implementing biological corridors across the national territory of Costa Rica. However, potential near-future climate change challenges the effectiveness of such conservation ...
Spatial and temporal patterns, trends and teleconnection of cumulative rainfall deficits across Central America
(2018)
Central America is a region vulnerable to hydrometeorological threats. Recently, the impacts of droughts caused higher economic losses in comparison to, for example, floods and landslides. This study focuses on the ...
Tracing Water Sources and Fluxes in a Dynamic Tropical Environment: From Observations to Modeling
(2020)
Tropical regions cover approximately 36% of the Earth’s landmass. These regions are home to 40% of the world’s population, which is projected to increase to over 50% by 2030 under a remarkable climate variability scenario ...
Can hydrological drought be efficiently predicted by conceptual rainfall-runoff models with global data products?
(2021)
The seasonally-dry tropics of northern Costa Rica are characterized by recurrent drought events
with negative socio-economic impacts on a vulnerable population. Scarce hydroclimatic observational data constraints reasonable ...
Modelling non‐stationary water ages in a tropical rainforest: A preliminary spatially distributed assessment
(2020)
Pristine tropical forests play a critical role in regional and global climate systems. For a better understanding of the eco-hydrology of tropical “evergreen” vegetation, it is essential to know the partitioning of water ...
Spatially distributed tracer‐aided modelling to explore water and isotope transport, storage and mixing in a pristine, humid tropical catchment
(2018)
Rapidly transforming headwater catchments in the humid tropics provide important
resources for drinking water, irrigation, hydropower, and ecosystem connectivity.
However, such resources for downstream use remain unstudied. ...
Member and Bayesian mixing models consistently indicate near‐surface flowpath dominance in a pristine humid tropical rainforest
(2021)
The impacts of forest conversion on runoff generation in the tropics have received much interest, but scientific progress is still hampered by challenging fieldwork conditions and limited knowledge about runoff mechanisms. ...
Deciphering key processes controlling rainfall isotopic variability during extreme tropical cyclones
(2019)
The Mesoamerican and Caribbean (MAC) region is characterized by tropical cyclones (TCs), strong El Niño-Southern Oscillation events, and climate variability that bring unique hazards to socio-ecological systems. Here we ...
Headwaters drive streamflow and lowland tracer export in a large‐scale humid tropical catchment
(2020)
Headwaters are generally assumed to contribute the majority of water to downstream users, but how much water, of what quality and where it is generated are rarely known in the humid tropics. Here, using monthly monitoring ...
