Fuente Stranger, Alberto de la; Rojas, Maisa; Mac Lean, Claudia (Public Library Science, 2017)This article builds on the premise that human consumption of goods, food and transport are the ultimate drivers of climate change. However, the nature of the climate change problem (well described as a tragedy of the ...

Berman, Ana Laura; Silvestri, Gabriel E.; Rojas, Maisa; Tonello, Marcela S. (Springer Verlag, 2017)© 2016, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. This paper is a pioneering analysis of past climates in southern South America combining multiproxy reconstructions and the state-of-the-art CMIP5/PMIP3 paleoclimatic models to ...

Eichinger, Roland; Shaffer, Gary; Albarran, Nelson; Rojas, Maisa; Lambert, Fabrice (European Geosciences Union, 2017)Interactions between the land biosphere and the atmosphere play an important role for the Earth's carbon cycle and thus should be considered in studies of global carbon cycling and climate. Simple approaches are a useful ...

Barría Sandoval, Pilar; Rojas, Maisa; Moraga, Pilar; Muñoz, Ariel; Bozkurt, Deniz; Álvarez Garretón, Camila (University of California, 2019)Since 1981, water allocation in Chile has been based on a water use rights (WURs) market, with limited regulatory and supervisory mechanisms. The volume to be granted as permanent and eventual WURs is calculated from ...

Bravo, Claudio; Bozkurt, Deniz; Gonzalez-Reyes, Álvaro; Quincey, Duncan J.; Ross, Andrew N.; Farías-Barahona, David; Rojas, Maisa (Frontiers Media S.A., 2019)Recent evidence shows that most Patagonian glaciers are receding rapidly. Due to the lack of in situ long-term meteorological observations, the understanding of how glaciers are responding to changes in climate over this ...

Rojas, Maisa; Moreno Moncada, Patricio (2011)Glacial geologic studies in the Southern Hemisphere (SH) mid-latitudes (40-54°S) indicate renewed glacial activity in southern South America (Patagonia) and New Zealand's (NZ) South Island starting at ~7 kyr, the so-called ...

Rojas, Maisa; Lambert, Fabrice; Ramírez Villegas, Julián; Challinor, Andrew J. (National Academy of Sciences, 2019)A warming climate will affect regional precipitation and hence food supply. However, only a few regions around the world are currently undergoing precipitation changes that can be attributed to climate change. Knowing when ...

Seth, Anji; Rauscher, Sara A.; Rojas, Maisa; Giannini, Alessandra; Camargo, Suzana J. (2011)Twenty-first century climate model projections show an amplification of the annual cycle in tropical precipitation with increased strength in both wet and dry seasons, but uncertainty is large and few studies have examined ...
-
Correa, Isabel C.; Arias, Paola A.; Rojas, Maisa (Wiley, 2021)In this article, multiple methods for estimating the onset and demise of the South American Monsoon System (SAMS) are evaluated during the period 1979-2018. The results obtained from indices based on precipitation, outgoing ...

Ortega, Cristina; Vargas, Gabriel; Rojas, Maisa; Rutllant, José A.; Muñoz, Práxedes; Lange, Carina B.; Pantoja, Silvio; Dezileau, Laurent; Ortlieb, Luc (Elsevier B.V., 2019)Extreme precipitation events and multi-annual droughts, especially in arid to semi-arid subtropical regions, are among the most critical El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and global climate change impacts. Here, we assess ...

Seth, Anji; Giannini, Alessandra; Rojas, Maisa; Rauscher, Sara A.; Bordoni, Simona; Singh, Deepti; Camargo, Suzana J. (Springer, 2019)Purpose of Review: Knowledge of how monsoons will respond to external forcings through the twenty-first century has been confounded by incomplete theories of tropical climate and insufficient representation in climate ...

Bozkurt, Deniz; Rojas, Maisa; Boisier, Juan Pablo; Valdivieso, Jonás (Springer Netherlands, 2018)© 2018, Springer Nature B.V. This study examines the projections of hydroclimatic regimes and extremes over Andean basins in central Chile (∼ 30–40° S) under a low and high emission scenarios (RCP2.6 and RCP8.5, respectively). ...

Flores Aqueveque, Valentina; Rojas, Maisa; Aguirre, Catalina; Arias, Paola A.; González, Charles (Copernicus Gesellschaft MHB, 2020)The South Pacific Subtropical High (SPSH) is a predominant feature of the South American climate. The variability of this high-pressure center induces changes in the intensity of coastal alongshore winds and precipitation, ...
-
Rojas, Maisa; Arias, Paola A.; Flores Aqueveque, Valentina; Seth, Anji; Vuille, Mathias (2016)In this paper we assess South American monsoon system (SAMS) variability in the last millennium as depicted by global coupled climate model simulations. High-resolution proxy records for the South American monsoon over ...

Rojas, Maisa; Moreno Moncada, Patricio; Kageyama, Masa; Crucifix, Michel; Hewitt, Chris; Abe-Ouchi, Ayako; Ohgaito, Rumi; Brady, Esther C.; Hope, Pandora (2009)The Southern Hemisphere westerly winds are an important component of the climate system at hemispheric and global scales. Variations in their intensity and latitudinal position through an ice-age cycle have been proposed ...
