Economic geology is a mixtum compositum of all geoscientific disciplines focused on one
goal, finding new mineral depsosits and enhancing their exploitation. The keystones of this …

Abstract The Central Andes host some of the world's largest porphyry copper deposits. The
economic viability of these deposits is dependent on the size and quality of their supergene …

Abstract The Atacama Desert forms one of the major hyperarid deserts of the world. Previous
studies suggest that desertification commenced at 14 Ma during global climate desiccation …

The sedimentary succession in the Atacama Desert records deposition under an arid to
semiarid climate from the late Jurassic (150 Ma) to the present day. Palaeomagnetic data …

Sedimentological data indicate that a semi-arid/arid climate prevailed across the Central
Andes from 15 Ma to 4 Ma. Between 4 and 3 Ma a switch to hyperaridity occurred along the …

We systematically investigated the spatial distribution of sulfates, chlorides, and nitrates in
Atacama Desert soils in order to identify their relationship to long-term aridity gradients and …

Las tres primeras regiones del norte de Chile cumplen con los dos requisitos fundamentales
para el establecimiento de ambientes evaporíticos:-la evaporación potencial es superior a …

Estimating groundwater recharge in arid regions with seasonal snow cover, as in the
Andean Altiplano of northern Chile, is important for sustainable development policies and …

Oxygen-and carbon-isotopic signatures of benthic ostracodes from lake sediments from
climate sensitive regions in the Alpine region, Central Europe, the north-central USA, the …

Sediment cores from three shallow (< 10 m), saline lakes along a transect of the northern
Chilean Altiplano (18° S–27° S) document changes in moisture balance for the mid-to late …
