The projected precipitation reduction over the Central Andes may severely affect Peruvian glaciers and hydropower production
(Elsevier, 2016-11-29)
Water from glaciers is crucial for the Peruvian hydropower production. Hence, we investigate the glacier-atmosphere and climate interactions in the Cordillera Vilcanota, considering scenarios of significant precipitation ...

On the future of the water resources from glacier melting in the Cordillera Blanca, Peru
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2005)
The hydrological data (since 1953) of the Llanganuco basin (87.0 km2, 39% glacierized) show an increase of the glacial melting during the last quarter of the 20th century. These results were supplemented (since the end of ...

The Energy and Mass Balance of Peruvian Glaciers
(John Wiley & Sons, 2021-12)
Peruvian glaciers are important contributors to dry season runoff for agriculture and hydropower, but they are at risk of disappearing due to climate change. We applied a physically based, energy balance melt model at five ...
