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 …

This paper analyses the problems involved in the conservation and management of the
hydrological system of the South American páramo. The páramo consists of a collection of …

This paper documents the main features of the climate and climate variability over South
America, on the basis of instrumental observations gathered during the 20th Century. It …

This paper documents the main features of the weather, climate and climate variability over
Andes cordillera in South America on the basis of instrumental observations. We first provide …

Abstract The variability of El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) during the Holocene epoch,
in particular on millennial timescales, is poorly understood. Palaeoclimate studies have …

The large-scale controls on the climate of the South American Altiplano are investigated
using local observations, reanalysis data and general circulation model experiments. The …

The recent hiatus in global warming is likely to be reflected in Andean temperature, given its
close dependence on tropical Pacific sea surface temperature (SST). While recent work in …

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 …

Particularly in mountain environments, rainfall can be extremely variable in space and time.
For many hydrological applications such as modelling, extrapolation of point rainfall …

Linear trend analysis of observational data combined with model diagnostics from an
atmospheric general circulation model are employed to search for potential mechanisms …
