This study focuses on quantifying the probability of debris flows or "alluvial activation" along the subsidiary sub-basins of the Maipo River. The Maipo River basin, where the city of Santiago is located, accommodates 35% of the national population. For an appropriate quantification of the risk posed by these phenomena, it is crucial to first chara...
A medida que la población crece y se expone a amenazas más dañinas y frecuentes en un clima cambiante, las naciones deben adaptarse y decidir bien qué, cómo y dónde construir. Para esto, se requiere una mirada integrada e informada de todas las amenazas que acechan al territorio, y así planificar soluciones de adaptación para la infraestructura pre...
Predicting fast mass wasting processes such as landslides is often challenging because of their apparently random occurrence and complex non-linear interactions between in-situ and conditioning parameters. Traditional analysis using susceptibility maps have shown to be a useful tool for identifying parts of the territory that could be more prone to...
In multivariate analysis, a predictive model is a mathematical/statistical model that relates a set of independent variables to dependent or response variable(s). This work presents a descriptive model that explains copper recovery from secondary sulfide minerals (chalcocite) taking into account the effects of time, heap height, superficial velocit...
In the world, the hazards of intense rainfall are recurrent and increasing. In addition, they are one of the natural hazards that cause the most severe damage to infrastructure and even cause deaths every year. Flow-type landslides are capable of develop in areas with different geomorphological, geological and climatic characteristics. In hyper-ari...
Landslide disaster risks increase worldwide, particularly in urban areas. To design and implement more effective and democratic risk reduction programs, calls for transdisciplinary approaches have recently increased. However, little attention has been paid to the actual articulation of transdisciplinary methods and their associated challenges. To f...
