    • Carretier, Sebastien; Godderis, Yves; Martínez Concha, Francisco; Reich Morales, Martín; Martinod, Pierre (European Geosciences Union, 2018)
      The role of mountain uplift in the evolution of the global climate over geological times is controversial. At the heart of this debate is the capacity of rapid denudation to drive silicate weathering, which consumes CO2. ...
    • Cabre, Albert; Dominique, Remy; Aguilar, Germán; Carretier, Sebastien; Riquelme, Rodrigo (Wiley, 2020)
      Extreme high-magnitude and low-frequency storm events in arid zones provide the necessary runoff to entrain sediments from source areas and therefore dictate the linkages between hillslopes and channels. Nevertheless, the ...
    • Carretier, Sebastien; Martinod, Pierre; Reich Morales, Martín; Godderis, Yves (Copernicus Gesellschaft, 2016)
      Over thousands to millions of years, the landscape evolution is predicted by models based on fluxes of eroded, transported and deposited material. The laws describing these fluxes, corresponding to averages over many years, ...
    • Rivera, Javier; Reich Morales, Martín; Schoenberg, Ronny; González Jiménez, José; Barra, Fernando; Aiglsperger, Thomas; Proenza, Joaquín A.; Carretier, Sebastien (Elsevier B.V., 2018)
      Weathering of ultramafic rocks can lead to the formation of soil profiles with high contents of Fe, Ni, Co, platinum-group elements (PGE) and gold. Traditionally, these metal-rich soils are known as “laterites” and are ...
    • Vázquez Vilches, María Mercedes; Ramírez Guevara, Sebastián; Morata Céspedes, Diego; Reich Morales, Martín; Braun, Jean-Jacques); Carretier, Sebastien (Elsevier, 2016)
      We have evaluated the long-term chemical and physical weathering mass balance of an anomalously thick saprolite profile (>30 in thickness) developed in granitic rocks near Curacavi, Coastal Range of central Chile. The ...
    • Pérez Estay, Nicolás; Yáñez Carrizo, Gonzalo; Carretier, Sebastien; Lira, Elías; Maringue, José (Copernicus Gesellschaft, 2016)
      Crustal faults located close to cities may induce catastrophic damages. When recurrence times are in the range of 1000-10000 or higher, actions to mitigate the effects of the associated earthquake are hampered by the lack ...
