Glaciers in the tropical Andes have been retreating for the past several decades, leading to
a temporary increase in dry season water supply downstream. Projected future glacier …

The cryosphere is an important component of the global climate system. Cryospheric
components are sensitive to climate warming, and changes in the cryosphere can lead to …

Glacial lakes are rapidly growing in response to climate change and glacier retreat. The role
of these lakes as terrestrial storage for glacial meltwater is currently unknown and not …

Andean glaciers are among the fastest shrinking and largest contributors to sea level rise on
Earth. They also represent crucial water resources in many tropical and semi-arid mountain …

The Andes Cordillera contains the most diverse cryosphere on Earth, including extensive
areas covered by seasonal snow, numerous tropical and extratropical glaciers, and many …

Global glacial lakes have expanded markedly in recent decades, accompanied by many
catastrophic glacial lake outburst floods. However, our understanding of glacial lake …

South America is a vast continent characterized by diverse atmospheric phenomena and
climate regimes. In this context, seasonal climate predictions are helpful for decision-making …

Glacial retreat in recent decades has exposed unstable slopes and allowed deep water to
extend beneath some of those slopes. Slope failure at the terminus of Tyndall Glacier on 17 …

The prevalence and increased frequency of high-magnitude Glacial Lake Outburst Floods
(GLOFs) in the Chilean and Argentinean Andes suggests this region will be prone to similar …

Climate change, glacier retreat and glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) are intertwined. The
Cordillera Blanca in Peru has one of the world's longest GLOF records and here we assess …
