Global mountaineering challenges – e.g., the Seven Summits challenge to climb the highest summit of each continent – amplify this process, and also raise the profile of individual destinations. The highest volcano on the Earth, the Ojos del Salado in the Dry Andes (Chile/Argentina) is featured in two of the major challenges (Seven Second Summits, Volcanic Seven Summits). Thus, it is a prime extreme outdoor tourism destination. The relative ease of access and the non-technical nature of the ascent have also contributed to the increasing volume of tourism. However, our observations about commercial mountaineering practices reveal surprisingly low success rates on the summit. Based on data from our decade-long environmental monitoring programme and our field experiences,, we attribute this to the extreme environment and landscape of the mountain (e.g., cold and dry climate, strong winds, topographical situation, loose surface material), scarce mountaineering facilities, and potential misjudgements by inexperienced climbers.}, year = {2023}, eissn = {2064-5147}, pages = {23-40}, orcid-numbers = {Ignéczi, Ádám/0000-0003-1529-8383; Ruiz Pereira, S/0000-0002-5118-5143; Mari, László/0000-0002-3382-7800} } @article{MTMT:33902269, title = {Trends in planetary science research in the Puna and Atacama Desert regions: Underrepresentation of local scientific institutions?}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33902269}, author = {Tavernier, A. and Pinto, G.

This preliminary work highlighted a significant absence of local institutional involvement in international publications. In light of this, a follow-up study was conducted to confirm or refute these first impressions, by comparing the search in two bibliographic databases: Web of Science and Scopus. The results show that almost 60% of the publications based directly on data from the Puna, the Altiplano, or the Atacama Desert with objectives related to planetary science or astrobiology do not include any local institutional partner (Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, and Peru). Indeed, and beyond the ethical questioning of international collaborations, Latin-American planetary science deserves a strategic structuring, networking, as well as a road map at national and continental scales, not only to enhance research, development, and innovation, but also to protect an exceptional natural heritage sampling extreme environmental niches on Earth. Examples of successful international collaborations such as the field of meteorites, terrestrial analogs, and space exploration in Chile or astrobiology in Mexico are given as illustrations and possible directions to follow to develop planetary science in South America. To promote appropriate scientific practices involving local researchers, possible responses at academic and institutional levels will eventually be discussed.}, year = {2023}, eissn = {1945-5100}, pages = {516-528} } @article{MTMT:32679156, title = {Surface morphologies in a Mars-analog Ca-sulfate Salar, High Andes, Northern Chile}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32679156}, author = {Hinman, N W and Hofmann, M H and Warren-Rhodes, K and Phillips, M S and Noffke, N and Cabrol, N A and Chong Diaz, G and Demergasso, C and Tebes-Cayo, C and Cabestrero, O and Bishop, J L and Gulick, V C and Summers, D and Sobron, P and McInenly, M and Moersch, J and Rodriguez, C and Sarazzin, Ph and Rhodes, K L and Riffo Contreras, C J and Wettergreen, D and Parro, V}, doi = {10.3389/fspas.2021.797591}, journal-iso = {Front Astron Space Sci}, journal = {FRONTIERS IN ASTRONOMY AND SPACE SCIENCES}, volume = {8}, unique-id = {32679156}, issn = {2296-987X}, year = {2022}, eissn = {2296-987X} } @article{MTMT:32699514, title = {Wind-snow interactions at the Ojos del Salado region as a potential Mars analogue site in the Altiplano - Atacama desert region}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32699514}, author = {Kereszturi, Ákos and Aszalós, Júlia Margit and Heiling, Zs and Ignéczi, Ádám and Kapui, Zsuzsanna and Király, Csilla and Leél-Őssy, Szabolcs and Szalai, Zoltán and Nemerkényi, Zsombor and Pál, Bernadett and Skultéti, Ágnes and Nagy, Balázs}, doi = {10.1016/j.icarus.2022.114941}, journal-iso = {ICARUS}, journal = {ICARUS}, volume = {378}, unique-id = {32699514}, issn = {0019-1035}, year = {2022}, eissn = {1090-2643}, orcid-numbers = {Ignéczi, Ádám/0000-0003-1529-8383;
