During the second week of December 2017, I made an oral presentation at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) 2017 Fall Meeting in New orleans (USA), the most important scientific event of Earth Sciences worldwide.

The work was entitled Contribution of Temperature to Chilean Droughts Using Ensemble Climate Projections (Final paper number H11O-06). It uses two drought indices to analyze the impacts of precipitation and temperature on the frequency, severity and duration of Chilean droughts (25°S-56°S) during the XXI century, using multi-model climate projections consistent with the high-end RCP 8.5 scenario.

In addition, I participated as co-author in the work Temporal and spatial evaluation of satellite rainfall estimates over different regions in Latin-America) (Final paper number H52G-04), which evaluate several sate-of-the-art satellite-based rainfall estimates (TMPA 3B42v7, TMPA 3B42RT, CHIRPSv2, CMORPH, PERSIANN-CDR and MSWEPv1.2) over different basins in Latin-America (Imperial Basin in Chile, Paraiba do Sul in Brazil and Magdalena in Colombia) to determine the best performing satellite product.
