Mountain water resources are of particular importance for downstream populations but are
threatened by decreasing water storage in snowpack and glaciers. Groundwater …

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 …

Observations on glacier extent from Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia give a detailed and
unequivocal account of rapid shrinkage of tropical Andean glaciers since the Little Ice Age …

High‐elevation tropical mountain regions may be more strongly affected by future climate
change than their surrounding lowlands. In the tropical Andes a significant increase in …

The tropical glaciers of the Cordillera Blanca, Peru, are rapidly retreating, resulting in
complex impacts on the hydrology of the upper Río Santa watershed. The effect of this …

Globally, water resources for cities are under increasing stress. Two main stressors are
climate change and population growth, but evaluating their relative impact is difficult …

The dynamic, tropical glaciers of the Peruvian Cordillera Blanca are rapidly changing and
these changes are expected to affect water availability, especially during the dry season. In …

Projections of future water shortages in the world's glaciated mountain ranges have grown
increasingly dire. Although water modeling research has begun to examine changing …

Glacier shrinkage caused by climate change is likely to trigger diminished and less
consistent stream flow in glacier-fed watersheds worldwide. To understand, model, and …

Climate change is forcing dramatic glacier mass loss in the Cordillera Blanca, Peru,
resulting in hydrologic transformations across the Rio Santa watershed and increasing …
