The global transition toward low-carbon energy and advanced technologies has intensified demands for rare earth elements (REEs), while available data remain fragmented across government and academic sources. To address this gap, this study compiles a...
To determine the reprocessing potential of mining liabilities, a comprehensive evaluation of the tailings deposit at the former Halcón mining unit in central Peru was conducted. Direct and indirect methods were employed, including geophysical...
Because of local climate, a phenomenon called huaico occurs in the coastal regions of Peru, configured by an alluvial flow of surface runoff caused by precipitation and accompanied by the transport of solid particles. A total of 24% of the huaicos re...

The accelerated loss of glacial cover in the Cordillera Blanca in Áncash, Peru, exposes the underlying rocks with high concentrations of sulfides from the Chicama Formation to oxidation and leaching processes, generating acid rock drainage (AR...
Gold-vein deposits of the Nazca–Ocoña belt constitute an important economic resource for small- and medium-scale mining in Peru. However, the mineralogical and physicochemical controls governing gold distribution in these veins remain po...
Radon is the main source of natural radioactivity, and its measurement is considered extremely important in radioprotection, given its relationship with the occurrence of lung cancer. In the last two years, measurements of this radioactive gas were c...
Sabancaya is the most active volcano of the Ampato-Sabancaya Volcanic Complex (ASVC) in southern Perú and has been erupting since 2016. The analysis of ascending and descending Sentinel-1 orbits (DInSAR) and Global Navigation Satellite System...
