EROSION AFTER AN EXTREME STORM EVENT IN AN ARID FLUVIAL SYSTEM OF THE SOUTHERN ATACAMA DESERT: AN ASSESSMENT OF THE MAGNITUDE, RETURN TIME, AND CONDITIONING FACTORS OF EROSION AND DEBRIS FLOW GENERATION

The contribution of an individual extreme storm event to long-term erosion rates has been estimated for the first time in the Atacama Desert.A mean erosion of 1.3 mm has been calculated for the March 2015 event that impacted the southernmost part of the Atacama Desert.The estimated erosion is consistent with millennial erosion rates and the

Tourism is considered one of the main sources of pressure on the global ecosystem, which is being increasingly affected by climate change.Few studies have evaluated the spatial patterns of tourism pressure that ecosystems will suffer under the changing climate in the future.Considering the Three-River-Source National Park, China, as the study area,

Accumulating evidence reveals that adipose tissue is an immunologically active organ that exerts multiple impacts on the regulation of systemic energy metabolism.Adipose tissue immunity is modulated by the interactions between hiboost 4k smart link adipocytes and various immune cells.Nevertheless, the underlying mechanisms that control inter-cellul

Rapid progress acupatch in developing multifunctional nanocarriers for drug delivery has been observed in recent years.Inorganic mesoporous silica nanocarriers (MSNs), emerged as an ideal candidate for gene/drug delivery with distinctive morphological features.These ordered carriers of porous nature have gained unique attention due to their distinc
