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

Glacier change is ubiquitous, but the fastest and largest magnitude changes occur in
glaciers that terminate in water. This includes the most rapidly retreating glaciers, and also …

The cryosphere (including, snow, glaciers, permafrost, lake and river ice) is an integral
element of high mountain regions, which are home to roughly 10% of the global population …

Excluding the large ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica, glaciers in South America are
large contributors to sea-level rise. Their rates of mass loss, however, are poorly known …

Glacial erosion is fundamental to our understanding of the role of Cenozoic-era climate
change in the development of topography worldwide, yet the factors that control the rate of …

Consistent and continuous data on glacier surface velocity are important inputs to time
series analyses, numerical ice dynamic modelling and glacier mass flux computations …

The impact of glacial lake development on the evolution of glaciers in the Himalaya is poorly
quantified, despite the increasing prevalence of supraglacial and proglacial water bodies …

The contribution to sea level rise from Patagonian icefields is one of the largest mass losses
outside the large ice sheets of Antarctica and Greenland. However, only a few studies have …

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 complex dynamics of calving glaciers is a major uncertainty in projecting global glacial
mass loss. We present frontal ablation and ice mass change for the 38 major calving …
