The (in)visible health risks of climate change.
Luke Parry,Luke Parry,Claudia Radel,Susana B. Adamo,Nigel Clark,Miriam Counterman,Nadia Y. Flores-Yeffal,Diego Pons,Paty Romero-Lankao,Jason Vargo +9 more
TL;DR: A taxonomy of six inter-related forms of invisibility which underlie systematic biases in current understanding of these risks in Latin America are constructed, and an approach to climate-health research is advocated that draws on intersectionality theory to address these inter-relations.

Multiscale trends and precipitation extremes in the Central American Midsummer Drought
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use a high resolution gridded precipitation dataset to investigate the apparent discrepancies and quantify the spatiotemporal complexities of the Central American Midsummer Drought (MSD) and detect spatially variable trends in MSD timing, the amount of rainy season precipitation, the number of consecutive and total dry days, and extreme wet events at the local scale.
Tree-ring reconstructed dry season rainfall in Guatemala

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used an Abies guatemalensis tree-ring chronology from the Sierra de los Cuchumatanes to estimate January through March rainfall since the late seventeenth century.

On the Production of Climate Information in the High Mountain Forests of Guatemala
TL;DR: Guatemala's population is dependent on cash crops and subsistence agriculture, the yield of which depends on both the timing and quantity of rainfall as mentioned in this paper, and detailed knowledge about Guatemala's past, cur...

Kevin J. Anchukaitis,Kevin J. Anchukaitis,Matthew J. Taylor,Javier Martin-Fernandez,Diego Pons,Malcolm Dell,Malcolm Dell,Christopher Chopp,Edwin Castellanos,Edwin Castellanos +9 more
TL;DR: The continued expansion of dendroclimatology into Mesoamerica requires the identification and evaluation of species whose rings can be precisely dated and then statistically compared with precipita as mentioned in this paper.
