High mountain areas are critical for water security and natural hazard dynamics, as well as glacier and ecosystem conservation in a warming world. We present a brief account of the methodological steps for geomorphological ...

Several high areas of Central America show evidence of past glacial activity, including glacial cirques, polished and striated bedrock surfaces and moraine deposits. As glacial remnants, these morphologies can guide ...

The recent and growing development and availability of unmanned aerial vehicles/systems (UAV, UAS, or “drones”) in volcanology has promoted a significant advance in volcanic surveillance of active volcanoes and in the ...

Esta investigación muestra resultados y aplicaciones acerca del uso de vehículos aéreos no tripulados (RPAS) comúnmente conocidos como drones en la geomorfología fluvial y análisis de procesos morfodinámicos en un río de ...

River floods frequently occur when tropical cyclones hit land. Nonetheless, systematic, long-term discharge data remain rather scarce in many tropical countries, which prevent proper analysis of peak discharges occurring ...

Numerosas altas montañas tropicales muestran evidencia de actividad glacial durante el Último Máximo Glacial (UMG) y han sido documentadas alrededor del mundo. El Cerro Chirripó, en Costa Rica, presenta formas de relieve ...

Tropical regions are frequently affected by intense floods causing substantial human and economic losses. A proper management of floods and the prevention of disasters is, however, often hampered by a generalized paucity of ...
