Recent glacier variations on Mount Melimoyu (44°50'S-72°51'W), Chilean Patagonia, using Sentinel-2 data
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2020)
This work analyzed the application of Sentinel-2 multispectral imagery and GLIMS data for mapping glacier retreat and to estimate glacier area changes of Mount Melimoyu, located in northern Patagonia, Chile for the period ...
Statistical Analysis of Topographic and Climatic Controls and Multispectral Signatures of Rock Glaciers in the Dry Andes, Chile (278–338S)
(John Wiley, 2010)
The dual nature of rock glaciers as ice-rich mountain permafrost and sediment storage systems results in a combination
of geomorphic processes and energy balance components controlling their distribution. We use the ...
Sudden large-volume detachments of low-angle mountain glaciers - More frequent than thought?
(Copernicus Publications, 2021-04)
The detachment of large parts of low-angle mountain glaciers resulting in massive ice-rock avalanches have so far been believed to be a unique type of event, made known to the global scientific community first for the 2002 ...
Ice content and interannual water storage changes of an active rock glacier in the dry Andes of Argentina
(Copernicus Publications, 2020-12)
The quantification of volumetric ice and water contents in active rock glaciers is necessary to estimate their role as water stores and contributors to runoff in dry mountain catchments. In the semi-arid to arid Andes of ...
First snow, glacier and groundwater contribution quantification in the upper Mendoza River basin using stable water isotopes
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2020-08)
The Mendoza River streamflow, South America (∼32 °S), derives almost exclusively from winter snow precipitation falling in the Andes. Almost 70% of the water feeding the river originates in the Cordillera Principal geological ...
Identification and characterization of yeasts isolated from sedimentary rocks of Union Glacier at the Antarctica
(Springer Tokyo, 2016)
© 2016, Springer Japan. The study of the yeasts that inhabit cold environments, such as Antarctica, is an active field of investigation oriented toward understanding their ecological roles in these ecosystems. In a great ...
Surface velocity fields of active rock glaciers and ice-debris complexes in the Central Andes of Argentina
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2021-02)
Rock glaciers and transitional ice-debris complexes predominate the Central Andean landform assemblage, yet regional studies on their state of activity and their kinematics remain sparse. Here we utilize the national glacier ...
