Freezing and thawing and water erosion.

The agents for weathering and erosion are natural. I know off no career that would replace these natural agents. However, if you mean careers understanding or preventing them then Geology, Geography, farming and Engineering would be your choices.
The movement of abrasive particles, by either air or in water, would both be agents of mechanical weathering.

Since it rarely rains in the Atacama, nearly all weathering would be physical weathering caused by the wind.

the main agents of physical weathering would be hail, snow, sleet, and rain (sometimes temp.)

Depending on what type of desert, the atmosphere is usually dry, and sometimes windy. In a desert such as the Sahara, the weather is hot and dusty, although cooler at night. In a desert like Antarctica, the weather is extremely cold and windy.
It would be most common in places like the Sahara Desert, but really it is most common in any desert, where it is hot during the day and cold during the night.
A cliff on a coast will experience the most weathering due to wave action.
Physical weathering breaks rock down into much smaller pieces and gives the original rock a much greater surface area which, when exposed to chemical agents such as carbonic acid, reacts at a much faster rate than it would had the larger rock not undergone physical weathering.
