Rock glaciers as a water resource in a changing climate in the semiarid Chilean Andes
Rock glaciers likely play an important hydrological role in the semiarid Andes (SA; 27°–35°
S). They supplement streamflow when water is needed most, especially during dry years in …

[HTML][HTML] Glacier runoff variations since 1955 in the Maipo River basin, in the semiarid Andes of central Chile
As glaciers adjust their size in response to climate variations, long-term changes in
meltwater production can be expected, affecting the local availability of water resources. We …

Evaluation of WRF modeling in relation to different land surface schemes and initial and boundary conditions: A snow event simulation over the Tibetan Plateau
Snowfall and the subsequent evolution of the snowpack play important roles in the
cryospheric and hydrospheric processes that occur on the Tibetan Plateau (TP). Current …

Snow depth patterns in a high mountain Andean catchment from satellite optical tristereoscopic remote sensing
Obtaining detailed information about high mountain snowpacks is often limited by
insufficient ground‐based observations and uncertainty in the (re) distribution of solid …

Interannual variability in glacier contribution to runoff from a high‐elevation Andean catchment: understanding the role of debris cover in glacier hydrology
We present a field‐data rich modelling analysis to reconstruct the climatic forcing, glacier
response, and runoff generation from a high‐elevation catchment in central Chile over the …

[HTML][HTML] Anthropogenic influence on surface changes at the Olivares glaciers; Central Chile
We have investigated the source and role of light-absorbing impurities (LAIs) deposited on
the glaciers of the Olivares catchment, in Central Chile. LAIs can considerably darken …

Glacier contributions to river discharge during the current Chilean megadrought
The current Chilean megadrought has led to acute water shortages in central Chile since
2010. Glaciers have provided vital fresh water to the region's rivers, but the quantity, timing …

A near 90-year record of the evolution of El Morado Glacier and its proglacial lake, Central Chilean Andes
Using an ensemble of close-and long-range remote sensing, lake bathymetry and regional
meteorological data, we present a detailed assessment of the geometric changes of El …
