Permafrost and active layer characteristics in the high arid Andes between the Altiplano and high Atacama Desert

The thermal and hydrological regime of permafrost in the arid Andes is unique due to the combination of extreme aridity, high solar radiation, and significant diurnal temperature fluctuations. Drilling at Chachani (6,057 m.a.s.l.), Aucanquilcha (6,176 m.a.s.l.), Chajnantor (5,640 m.a.s.l.), and Ojos...
