Assessment of climate change impacts on the hydrology of the Peruvian Amazon-Andes basin
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2011-11)
In this article, we propose an investigation of the modifications of the hydrological response of two Peruvian Amazonas-Andes basins in relationship with the modifications of the precipitation and evapotranspiration rates ...
Early warning systems: The "last mile" of adaptation
(American Geophysical Union, 2012-09)
Recent scientific assessment studies of climate change impacts, including those from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, provide evidence of the negative effects of climate variability and change on natural and ...

Impact of the global warming hiatus on Andean temperature
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2015-08)
The recent hiatus in global warming is likely to be reflected in Andean temperature, given its close dependence on tropical Pacific sea surface temperature (SST). While recent work in the subtropical Andes has indeed ...

Facing unprecedented drying of the Central Andes? Precipitation variability over the period AD 1000-2100
(Institute of Physics Publishing, 2015-08)
Projected future trends in water availability are associated with large uncertainties in many regions of the globe. In mountain areas with complex topography, climate models have often limited capabilities to adequately ...

Hydroclimatic change disparity of Peruvian Pacific drainage catchments
(Springer-Verlag Wien, 2017-08-23)
Peruvian Pacific drainage catchments only benefit from 2% of the total national available freshwater while they concentrate almost 50% of the population of the country. This situation is likely to lead a severe water ...

The freezing level in the tropical Andes, Peru: An indicator for present and future glacier extents
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2017-10)
Along with air temperatures, the freezing level height (FLH) has risen over the last decades. The mass balance of tropical glaciers in Peru is highly sensitive to a rise in the FLH, mainly due to a decrease in accumulation ...

Projected increases in the annual flood pulse of the Western Amazon
(Institute of Physics Publishing, 2016-01)
The impact of a changing climate on the Amazon basin is a subject of intensive research because of its rich biodiversity and the significant role of rainforests in carbon cycling. Climate change has also a direct hydrological ...

Hydrological and depositional processes associated with recent glacier recession in Yanamarey catchment, Cordillera Blanca (Peru)
(Elsevier B.V., 2017-02)
In this study, we investigate changes in the glaciated surface and the formation of lakes in the headwater of the Querococha watershed in Cordillera Blanca (Peru) using 24 Landsat images from 1975 to 2014. Information of ...
Trends in rainfall and temperature in the Peruvian Amazon-Andes basin over the last 40years (1965-2007)
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2013-09)
The hydroclimatology of the Peruvian Amazon-Andes basin (PAB) which surface corresponding to 7% of the Amazon basin is still poorly documented. We propose here an extended and original analysis of the temporal evolution ...
