¿Cómo seguir avanzando en la participación de más mujeres en la ciencia y la industria de la madera? Esa es la pregunta que aborda Romina Rubio Quintana, subdirectora de Operaciones de CENAMAD, en una columna publicada en el blog de la Corporación Chilena de la Madera (CORMA). Durante su primer quinquenio, CENAMAD se propuso que

Revista: Journal of Hydrology: Regional StudiesAutores: Sandoval, P.; Barrientos, G.; Valdés, J.; León, I.; Mardones, P.; Duarte, E.; Arriagada, P.; Aguayo, M.; Rubilar, R.Fecha: 2026 Abstract Study Region This study was conducted in south-central Chile, between 34°S and 41°S, encompassing a hydroclimatically diverse region extending from the Pacific coast to the Andes Mountains. Study Focus
Revista: Journal of Building EngineeringAutores: Arré, M.; Almazán, J.L.; Auad, G.Fecha: 2025 Abstract Frictional isolators are being used with increasing frequency. However, the efficiency of these devices can be compromised if bearings experience uplift. In this study, two types of base-isolated resistant planes were studied to assess the uplift phenomenon: one with uniform lateral stiffness
Revista: Forest Ecology and ManagementAutores: Loewe, V.; Del Rio, R.; Bonomelli, C.; Delard, C.; Balzarini, M.Fecha: 2026 Abstract Nuts of stone pine (Pinus pinea L.) are considered the most valuable nuts in the world due to their culinary applications, unique nutritional composition and bioactive properties Pine nuts are traditionally harvested from native forests; management techniques

Revista: ForestsAutores: Navarro, R.; Rivas, C.; Varo, M.A.; Ariza, A.; Palacios, G.Fecha: 2026 Abstract This study examines the effects of silvicultural management on the functional connectivity of fragmented Abies pinsapo forests in southern Spain. Using biomass stock as a resistance proxy, connectivity was assessed through accumulated cost-distance and least-cost path analyses under three scenarios: low
Revista: BuildingsAutores: Rosales, V.; Aviles, C.; Álvarez, S.; Luengo, E.Fecha: 2025 Abstract The use of Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) panels in buildings offers earthquake resistance with a low carbon footprint. However, significant seismic displacements can cause damage, raising concerns about the long-term embodied carbon balance obtained, particularly if significant interventions are required to restore the original
Revista: Informes de la ConstrucciónAutores: Vargas, M.; Quitral, F.; Sepúlveda, J.; Paredes, C.; Benedetti, F.Fecha: 2025 Abstract La construcción de edificaciones residenciales de baja y mediana altura en madera ofrece numerosas ventajas en términos de sostenibilidad. No obstante, su desarrollo en Chile requiere de la aplicación de métodos que optimicen tanto los procesos constructivos como
Revista: Fire Safety JournalAutores: Majdalani, A.; Calderón, I.; Jahn, W.; Torero, J.Fecha: 2026 Abstract Scaling analysis is used to characterise a series of ten different possible compartment fire scenarios as a function of compartment geometry and ventilation. In addition to the classic scenarios corresponding to Regime I and Regime II fires, eight additional cases were
Revista: Fire Safety JournalAutores: Alvarez, L.; Yanez, J.; Majdalani, A.; Jahn, W.; Pina, J.C.Fecha: 2026 Abstract The use of mass timber in mid- to high-rise buildings has increased steadily over the past decade. However, due to its combustible nature, fire remains a critical risk. Architectural openings can significantly influence compartment fire behaviour, affecting char formation
Revista: Journal of Building EngineeringAutores: Victorero, F.; Bustamante, W.Fecha: 2026 Abstract Tall timber buildings are increasingly promoted as a low-carbon alternative to conventional construction systems; however, consistent quantitative data on the material intensity (MI) of mass timber products across new building typologies remain limited. Estimating MI is essential to improve understanding of material use in
