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. ...
Ice dynamics of union glacier from SAR offset tracking
(Elsevier B.V., 2019)
© 2018 Elsevier B.V. The Antarctic ice sheet is predicted to be the major contributor to sea-level rise during the XXI century. Therefore, monitoring ice dynamics of outlet glaciers in Antarctica is of great importance to ...
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 ...
A near 90-year record of the evolution of El Morado Glacier and its proglacial lake, Central Chilean Andes
(Cambridge University Press, 2020)
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 Morado Glacier in the Central Andes of Chile and ...
Centreline and cross-glacier air temperature variability on an Alpine glacier: assessing temperature distribution methods and their influence on melt model calculations
(Cambridge University Press, 2017)
The spatio-temporal distribution of air temperature over mountain glaciers can demonstrate complex patterns, yet it is often represented simplistically using linear vertical temperature gradients (VTGs) extrapolated from ...
Mass changes of alpine glaciers at the eastern margin of the Northern and Southern Patagonian Icefields between 2000 and 2012
(International Glaciology Societe, 2016-12)
Despite renewed efforts to better understand glacier change and recognize glacier change trends in the Andes, relatively large areas in the Andes of Argentina and Chile are still not investigated. In this study, we report ...
Volume changes on Pio XI glacier, Patagonia: 1975-1995
(Elsevier, 1999)
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 considering ...
New evidence of glacier surges in the Central Andes of Argentina and Chile
(SAGE Publications, 2018-12)
In contrast to the large surge-type glacier clusters widely known for several mountain ranges around the world, the presence of surging glaciers in the Andes has been historically seen as marginal. The improved availability ...
Inventory and recent changes of small glaciers on the northeast margin of the Southern Patagonia icefield, Argentina
(International Glaciological Society, 2015-06)
Most glaciological studies in Argentina have focused on the large outlet glaciers of the Southern Patagonia Icefield (SPI); the numerous smaller neighboring glaciers have received significantly less attention. We present ...
