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 …

Studying glacier mass changes at regional scale provides critical insights into the impact of
climate change on glacierized regions, but is impractical using in situ estimates alone due to …

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

We present a satellite-derived glacier inventory for the whole Patagonian Andes south of 45.
5° S and Tierra del Fuego including recent changes. Landsat TM/ETM+ and OLI satellite …

The Echaurren Norte Glacier is a reference glacier for the World Glacier Monitoring Service
(WGMS) network and has the longest time series of glacier mass balance data in the …

To improve our knowledge of glacier area changes in the central Chilean and Argentinean
Andes (32° 9′ S–33° 4′ S), two new glacier inventories from 1989 to 2013/14 are …

Despite the great number and variety of glaciers in southern South America, in situ glacier
mass-balance records are extremely scarce and glacier–climate relationships are still poorly …

Abstract High Mountain Asia hosts the largest glacier concentration outside the polar
regions. These glaciers are important contributors to streamflow in one of the most …

Global warming triggers shrinking and thinning of glaciers worldwide, with potentially severe
implications for human society. However, regional differences in glacier retreat and its …

Glaciers are sensitive indicators of climate variability and in turn they can also affect climate
by means of complex feedback mechanisms. After the Little Ice Age (LIA), a cold climate …
