Glacier inventory and recent glacier variations in the Andes of Chile, South America
(Cambridge University Press, 2017)
The first satellite-derived inventory of glaciers and rock glaciers in Chile, created from
Landsat TM/ETM+ images spanning between 2000 and 2003 using a semi-automated procedure, is presented
in a single standardized ...
Classification of debris-covered glaciers and rock glaciers in the Andes of central Chile
(Elsevier, 2015)
In the Dry Andes of Chile (17 to 35 degrees S), debris-covered glaciers and rock glaciers are differentiated from true glaciers based on the percentage of surface debris cover, thickness of surface debris, and ice content. ...
DInSAR for a Regional Inventory of Active Rock Glaciers in the Dry Andes Mountains of Argentina and Chile with Sentinel-1 Data
(MDPI AG, 2018-10)
The Dry Andes region of Argentina and Chile is characterized by a highly developed periglacial environment. In these arid or semi-arid regions, rock glaciers represent one of the main pieces of evidence of mountain creeping ...
Hydrological and Geomorphological Significance of Rock Glaciers in the Dry Andes, Chile (278 grados–338 gradosS)
(Wiley InterScience, 2010)
The latitudinal-altitudinal distribution of rock glaciers in the dry Chilean Andes between 278 and 338S was analysed
and their hydrological and geomorphological significance evaluated. Statistical estimation techniques ...
Rock Glaciers in the Patagonian Andes: An Inventory for the Monte San Lorenzo (Cerro Cochrane) Massif, 47° S
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2015-12)
Although rock glaciers in the Central and Desert Andes of Argentina and Chile have been previously studied in detail, much less attention has been paid to the occurrence of these permafrost forms in Patagonia. Recently, ...
Rock glacier inventory of the Valles Calchaquíes Region (~ 25°S), Salta, Argentina, derived from ALOS data
(Wiley, 2014-01)
Rock glaciers near the Andean mountains of central and northwestern Argentina provide an important supply of water for agriculture, but data on their number, size, geographic distribution and altitudinal range are poorly ...
Ice Mass Loss in the Central Andes of Argentina Between 2000 and 2018 Derived From a New Glacier Inventory and Satellite Stereo-Imagery
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2020-12)
Based on the recently released National Glacier Inventory (NGI), we analyzed the characteristics and the mass balance rates of ice masses in the Argentinean Central Andes (ca. 30°–37° S). The NGI provides unprecedented ...
Spatial distribution and characteristics of Andean ice masses in Argentina: Results from the first National Glacier Inventory
(Int Glaciol Soc, 2020-12)
Glaciers and the periglacial environment in Argentina have been protected by the Law since 2010. This legislation required the development of the first National Glacier Inventory (NGI), which was officially presented in ...
Permafrost distribution map of San Juan Dry Andes (Argentina) based on rock glacier sites
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2017-01)
Rock glaciers are frozen water reservoirs in mountainous areas. Water resources are important for the local populations and economies. The presence of rock glaciers is commonly used as a direct indicator of mountain ...
Water resources in Chile: The critical relation between glaciers and mining for sustainable water management
(Universidad de Chile. Facultad de Arquitectura y Urbanismo. Departamento de Geografía, 2013-12)
Rock glaciers and debris covered glaciers are often understudied in comparison to their uncovered glacial counterparts (in which stunning surface ice is clearly visible). However, rock glaciers and debris covered glaciers ...
