The Concepción Metropolitan Area (CMA) in South-Central Chile presents a complex interplay of climatic conditions, tectonic activity, and varied topography that heightens landslide susceptibility. CMA is characterized by steep escarpments sloping valleys atop blocks. This setting creates landslide-prone areas as urban development extends into unstable hillslopes. Unfortunately, current inventories are limited inconsistent, hindering effective susceptibility zoning planning efforts. objective...
Stretching from ~33ºS to ~46ºS, the Southern Volcanic Zone (SVZ) in Andes constitutes one most continuous glaciated volcanic regions along midlatitudes. Here, headwaters are on active volcanoes, with glaciers a notable variety of forms, including valley glaciers, ice aprons, mountain and crater glaciers. Furthermore, ubiquitous glacial landforms attest for larger coverage past. Building earlier foundational case studies, since 2015 we have developed multidisciplinary...

Abstract Among Mediterranean regions, the South-Central Zone of Chile (SCZCh) portrays a landscape where wildfires constantly and historically occur, many times damaging ecosystems, lives livelihoods. Since 2010, this zone has entered period unprecedented drought that contributed to wildfire rising trends. Wildfire occurrence intensity in can be associated with three main factors: climate land cover as conditioning factors, human activity triggering factor. This paper evaluates hazard for...

La Región del Biobío en el centro sur de Chile es una zona transición climática donde conviven bosques templados y esclerófi los, generando alta diversidad.Sin embargo, área ha sido fuertemente afectada por la intervención antrópica solo quedan algunos relictos matorral bosque nativo.Los geométridos, al igual que muchos insectos, están estrechamente asociados a vegetación lo tanto serán afectados directamente se efectúe sobre esta.Así, este estudio evaluamos los patrones distribución...
The Tirúa-Mocha Island area (38.2°-38.4° S) in southern Chile has been affected by two megaearthquakes only 50 years: the 1960 Mw=9.5 Valdivia earthquake and 2010 Mw=8.8 Maule earthquake. We studied field vertical ground movements occurred during interseismic period between both earthquakes coseismic of 2011 Mw=7.1 Araucanía During earthquake, are typical subduction related with Mocha Island, located close to trench, experienced bigger uplift (150 cm) than that Tirúa (-20 cm), place...
Abstract. Wildfire risk is latent in Chilean metropolitan areas characterized by the strong presence of wildland–urban interfaces (WUIs). The Concepción area (CMA) constitutes one most representative samples that dynamic. wildfire CMA was addressed establishing a model five categories (near zero, low, moderate, high, and very high) represent discernible thresholds fire occurrence, using geospatial data satellite images describing anthropic–biophysical factors trigger fires. Those were used...
The development of robust chronologies Neoglaciation from individual glaciers throughout the high-altitude Andes can provide fundamental knowledge influences such as regional temperature and precipitation variability, aid in predicting future changes Andean climate system. However, records Late Holocene glaciation Central Chilean are sparse, often poorly constrained. Here, we present 36 Cl surface exposure ages, dendrochronologic constraints, glacial mass balance modeling simulations glacier...
Land Cover–Land Use Changes (LULCC) and landscape fragmentation have been a common research topic for Geographic Information Systems (GIS) scientists since the middle of 20th century; particularly, they helped to make accessible spatial characteristics land management through time. We researched LULCC in Arauco Province Chile using satellite image analysis (1976–2016) FRAGSTAT software. This area is constant struggle use between agroindustry, urban sprawl, expansion exotic plantations...

En Chile se ha incorporado variable riesgos instrumentos planificación territorial, través estudios que integran propuesta zonificación usos suelo. A objeto promover el uso información generada gestión por parte las instituciones ligadas al manejo desastres, empleó ciudad Coronel, Región del...
The 2010 tsunami in Chile exposed the absence of socio-natural disaster risk management at national and local levels. This article investigates role government's post-tsunami reconstruction process, as articulating body for most vulnerable communities. In particular, Tumbes cove, Biobío region, was studied, where vulnerability factors were identified face flooding through closed surveys interviews with key players, well organizing information matrices to identify perception after process....
Mediterranean ecosystems have been more frequently exposed to wildfires in recent decades. Those are caused by changes land use and cover that enable extensive forestry farming. This qualitative research investigates a changing landscape identity related subjective perception after cyclical seasonal (2012–2017). In this regard, we conducted twelve semistructured interviews among inhabitants from Quillón, Florida, Yumbel (Mediterranean central Chile). The questions considered elements of the...
El aprendizaje activo de la Sustentabilidad Urbana (SU) es un área en creciente desarrollo, por lo que importante aportar a este corpus con nuevas experiencias concretas, particularmente, aquellas provienen desde el Sur Global.

Acá se realizó una investigación...
Chile’s geomorphology displays the majority of terrestrial morphogenetic environments. Within Laja River Basin (37ºS), along central Mediterranean zone, Valle del Toro Chico's hanging valley stands out as mixture a variety geomorphological environments, including glacial, volcanic, lacustrine, aeolian, and fluvial. The excellent preservation landforms here, allows for investigation multiple coexisting environments their associated processes that might have caused sediment...

Este artículo examina la intersección entre política habitacional, los desastres naturales y evolución urbana en Chile, destacando falta de decisiones estatales eficaces ante eventos geotectónicos recurrentes. A pesar del éxito cuantitativo producción viviendas económicas, persisten críticas por escasa superficie calidad, así como construcción zonas riesgo que genera segregación marginalización. Aunque numerosos proyectos habitacionales han reducido el déficit viviendas, disconformidad...
