Modelling non-stationary water ages in a tropical rainforest: A preliminary spatially distributed assessment
(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 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 ...
Isotopic variability (δ18O, δ2 H and d-excess) during rainfall events of the north American monsoon across the Sonora River Basin, Mexico
(Elsevier Ltd, 2021)
The economic activities of the Sonora strongly depend on groundwater extraction, which is generally of recent
meteoric origin. Understanding the hydrological functioning in this semi-arid region, located in northwestern
Mexico, ...
Moisture transport and seasonal variations in the stable isotopic composition of rainfall in Central American and Andean Páramo during El Niño conditions (2015–2016)
(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2019)
High‐elevation tropical grassland systems, called Páramo, provide essential ecosystem services such as water storage and supply for surrounding and lowland areas.
Páramo systems are threatened by climate and land use ...
Isotope hydrology of a tropical coffee agroforestry watershed: Seasonal and event-based analyses
(Wiley & Sons, 2018)
Stable isotope variations are extremely useful for flow partitioning within the
hydrologic cycle but remain poorly understood throughout the tropics, particularly in
watersheds with rapidly infiltrating soils, such as ...
Identifying groundwater recharge connections in the Moscow (USA) sub-basin using isotopic tracers and a soil moisture routing model
(Springer, 2016)
Globally, aquifers are suffering from large abstrac tions resulting in groundwater level declines. These declines can be caused by excessive abstraction for drinking water, irrigation purposes or industrial use. Basaltic ...
Composición isotópica de la precipitación en la región intermontañosa de Heredia, Costa Rica
(Universidad Nacional (Costa Rica), 2014-12)
La ubicación geográfica y la irregular orografía de Costa Rica se combinan en una serie de microclimas montañosos sustentados por flujos de humedad provenientes tanto del Mar Caribe como del Océano Pacífico. Estos microclimas ...
Isotopic composition in precipitation and groundwater in the northern mountainous region of the Central Valley of Costa Rica
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)
The linkage between precipitation and recharge is still poorlyunderstood in the Central America region. This study focuses onstable isotopic composition in precipitation and groundwater in the northern mountainous region ...
Deciphering key processes controlling rainfall isotopic variability during extreme tropical cyclones
(2019-09)
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 ...
Hydrogeological responses in tropical mountainous springs
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2018)
This study presents a hydrogeochemical analysis of spring
responses (2013–2017) in the tropical mountainous region of the
Central Valley of Costa Rica. The isotopic distribution of δ18O and
δ2
H in rainfall resulted ...
Key drivers controlling stable isotope variations in daily precipitation of Costa Rica: Caribbean Sea versus Eastern Pacific Ocean moisture sources
(Elsevier, 2016)
Costa Rica is located on the Central American Isthmus, which receives moisture inputs directly from the Caribbean Sea and the Eastern Pacific Ocean. This location includes unique mountainous and lowland microclimates, but ...
