This is the second edition of the publication, first published in 2018 from the UC Chile Office of the Vice President for Research and Graduate Studies, highlighting the work of the Research Centers and Field Stations UC|Chile (RCER UC). Stretching from the arid north to the far reaches of Patagonia, the network plays a vital role in advancing research, training future academics, and strengthening ties with local communities.
It documents the network’s growth—both in the number of stations and the impact of its work—through striking photographs taken by UC Chile professionals and researchers, as well as testimonies from faculty, students, and local residents.
“Field Science in Chile: Scientific Research from North to South” is the latest publication from the UC Chile Office of the Vice President for Research and Graduate Studies, highlighting the work of the Research Centers and Field Stations UC|Chile (RCER UC). The event featured a presentation by renowned geographer Pilar Cereceda, recipient of Chile’s 2019 National Geography Award and former director of UC Chile’s Atacama Desert Center.
Today, the network includes four official UC Chile regional stations: Atacama Station, Loa Station, Coastal Marine Research Station (ECIM) and Patagonia Station for Interdisciplinary Research. It also includes a UC Center, the Center for Local Development (CEDEL) and four affiliate entities: the Senda Darwin Biological Station, the Tantauco Park, the Magallanes Center for Biomedical Excellence (CEBIMA) and the Omora Ethnobotanical Park.
