The Dry Andes region of Argentina and Chile is characterized by a highly developed
periglacial environment. In these arid or semi-arid regions, rock glaciers represent one of the …

Abstract The Mediterranean-type Ecosystems of Central Chile is one of the most threatened
regions in South America by global change, particularly evidenced by the historical …

Abstract In Central Chile, the increment of withdrawals together with drought conditions has
exposed the poor understanding of the regional hydrogeological system. In this study, we …

The Andean snowpack is the primary source of water for many communities in South
America. We have used Landsat imagery over the period 1986–2018 in order to assess the …

Obtaining detailed information about high mountain snowpacks is often limited by
insufficient ground‐based observations and uncertainty in the (re) distribution of solid …

Vertical profiles of black carbon (BC) and other light-absorbing impurities were measured in
seasonal snow and permanent snowfields in the Chilean Andes during Austral winters 2015 …

Globally, climate change has caused a significant reduction in snow cover in mountainous
regions. To understand the impact of present and future snow changes on runoff in the semi …

This study evaluates the reliability of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model to
simulate extreme snowfall events in the Southern Andes. The assessment includes …

The evidence for global warming can be seen in various forms, such as glacier shrinkage,
sea ice retreat, sea level rise and air temperature increases. The magnitude of these …

Interannual variability and trends of the Equilibrium Line Altitude (ELA) in the Andes
mountains can be modeled using an empirical relationship between the annual average of …
