Influence of Climate Variability in King George Island Glacier Retreat – Antarctic Peninsula
(European Geosciences UnionPE, 2021)
This research aims to explain the influence of climatic variables (temperature and precipitation) in King George Island (KGI) glacier shrinkage on the Antarctic Peninsula. It employed Landsat satellite images from 1989 to ...
Historical records of Cipreses glacier (34°S): Combining documentary-inferred 'Little Ice Age' evidence from Southern and Central Chile
(SAGE, 2009)
The historical behaviour of Cipreses glacier from the nineteenth through the early twentieth century
is described based on written records, cartography, iconography and photographs. These data allow us to infer
that the ...
Recent glaciar retreat and climate trends in Cordillera Huaytapallana, Perú
(Elsevier, 2014-01)
We analyzed 19 annual Landsat Thematic Mapper images from 1984 to 2011 to determine changes of the glaciated surface and snow line elevation in six mountain areas of the Cordillera Huaytapallana range in Peru. In contrast ...
Glacier responses to recent volcanic activity in Southern Chile
(IOP PUBLISHING, 2012)
Glaciers in Southern Chile (39–43 S) are characterized by frontal retreats and area losses in
response to the ongoing climatic changes at a timescale of decades. Superimposed on these
longer-term trends, volcanic activity ...
Climate change and glacier retreat drive shifts in an Antarctic benthic ecosystem
(AAAS, 2015-11)
The Antarctic Peninsula (AP) is one of the three places on Earth that registered the most intense warming in the last 50 years, almost five times the global mean. This warming has strongly affected the cryosphere, causing ...
Benthic colonization in newly ice-free soft-bottom areas in an Antarctic fjord
(Public Library of Science, 2017-11)
Extended glacier retreat is among the main consequences of the rapid warming of the West Antarctic Peninsula. Particularly, in the inner part of Potter Cove (South Shetland Islands, Antarctica) large areas are now exposed ...
Antartic environmental change detection using remote sensing data and historical mapsDetecção de Mudanças Ambientais na Antártica através de Dados de Sensoriamento Remoto e Mapas Históricos
(Instituto de Geociências /Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, 2001)
First glacier inventory and recent changes in glacier area in the monte San Lorenzo region (47ºS), Southern Patagonian Andes, South America
(Inst Arctic Alpine Res, 2013-02)
We present the first glacier inventory of the Monte San Lorenzo region (47º35′S, 72º18′W) in the southern Patagonian Andes of Chile and Argentina. This region contains the largest and easternmost glaciers at these latitudes ...
