Abstract Glacier mass loss is a primary contributor to sea‐level rise. All prior assessments assume all glacial melt water reaches the ocean, but many mountain glaciers are located far from oceans and may be affected b...

Glaciers in the northern Patagonian Andes (35-46°gS) have shown a dramatic decline in area in the last decades. However, little is known about glacier mass balance changes in this region. This study presents a geodetic ...

Abstract Warming climate has greatly affected the stability of the world’s glaciers. In 1957, as part of the International Geophysical Year, nine North American glaciers were surveyed in great detail so that they could...

he Karakoram mountain range harbors the greatest concentration of glaciers and permanent snowfields outside the polar regions, making seasonal snowmelt the cornerstone of freshwater availability for the Indus River syste...

The Desert Andes contain >4500 ice masses, but only a handful are currently being monitored. We present the mass changes of the small mountain glacier Agua Negra (1 km2) and of the rest of glaciers in the Jáchal river b...

Pio XI glacier, with an area of 1263 km 2 and a length of 65.7 km, is the largest of the Southern Patagonia Icefield (SPD. During the period 1945-1995 it experienced a net advance of ca. 10 km., a unique behavior conside...

The Andes Cordillera contains the most diverse cryosphere on Earth, including extensive areas covered by seasonal snow, numerous tropical and extratropical glaciers, and many mountain permafrost landforms. Here, we revie...

Abstract Snow transport (wind drifting and avalanches) can concentrate a large amount of water into a relatively small area, in contrast to precipitation, which is spatially smoother. I develop a framework to constrain t...

Abstract Glacier retreat transforms landscapes in polar and mountainous regions. Yet, the topography of the emerging terrain remains poorly known. Here, we present a physically consistent, global map of the ice-covered t...

Notochthamalus scabrosus (Darwin 1854) is commonly attached to littoral rocks and shells, often associated with Notobalanus flosculus (Darwin 1854), and sometimes with Chthamalus cirratus (Darwin 1851). Notochthamalus sc...

The Greenland Ice Sheet is a key component of the Earth’s climate system and assessing its mass balance is crucial for predicting sea-level rise. Solid ice discharge is a critical parameter that can be determined by ca...

Las glaciaciones cuaternarias han dejado registro en diversos espacios geográficos de la corteza terrestre. Esto no ha sido una excepción en los Andes Centrales de Argentina y Chile, donde enormes valles labrados por l...

Perito Moreno is the most famous calving glacier of the South Patagonia Icefield, the largest temperate glacier system of the Southern Hemisphere. Unlike most of the glaciers in the region that have strongly retreated in...
