(Taylor & Francis, 2016-06-01)Acceso cerradoPrecipitation variability in tropical high mountains is a fundamental yet poorly understood factor influencing local climatic expression and a variety of environmental processes, including glacier behavior and water ... -
Climate change threats to environment in the tropical Andes: glaciers and water resources
Chevallier, Pierre; Pouyaud, Bernard; Suarez, Wilson; Condom, Thomas
(Springer, 2010-11-14)Acceso cerradoAlmost all of the world’s glaciers in the tropical latitudes are located in the Central Andes (Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador and Colombia). Due to their high altitude, to the high level of radiation and to the tropical climate ... -
Current state of glaciers in the tropical Andes: A multi-century perspective on glacier evolution and climate change
Sicart, J.-E.; Huggel, C.; Scheel, M.; Lejeune, Y.; Arnaud, Y.; Collet, M.; Condom, T.; Consoli, G.; Favier, V.; Jomelli, V.; Galarraga, R.; Ginot, P.; Maisincho, L.; Mendoza, J.; Ménégoz, M.; Ramirez, E.; Ribstein, P.; Suarez, Wilson; Villacís, M.; Wagnon, P.
(Copernicus publications, 2013-01-22)Acceso abiertoThe aim of this paper is to provide the community with a comprehensive overview of the studies of glaciers in the tropical Andes conducted in recent decades leading to the current status of the glaciers in the context of ... -
Modelling the water balance in the glacierized Parón Lake basin (White Cordillera, Peru)
Suarez, Wilson; Chevallier, P.; Pouyaud, B.; López, P.
(Taylor & Francis, 2008)Acceso abiertoThe White Cordillera (northern Peru), with a glacial surface of 631 km2, is the largest glacierized mountain range in the Tropics. Due to the lack of physical data from most of its sub-basins, it is difficult to build a ... -
On the future of the water resources from glacier melting in the Cordillera Blanca, Peru
Bernard, Pouyaud; Marco, Zapata; Yerren, Jorge; Gomez, Jesus; Gabriela, Rosas; Suarez, Wilson
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2005)Acceso abiertoThe 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 projected precipitation reduction over the Central Andes may severely affect Peruvian glaciers and hydropower production
Kronenberg, M.; Schauwecker, S.; Huggel, C.; Salzmann, N.; Drenkhan, Fabian; Frey, H.; Giraáldez, C.; Gurgiser, W.; Kaser, G.; Juen, I.; Suarez, Wilson; Hernaández, J.G.; Sanmartín, J.F.; Ayros, E.; Perry, B.; Rohrer, M.
(Elsevier, 2016-11-29)Acceso abiertoWater 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 ... -
Radar-Observed Characteristics of Precipitation in the Tropical High Andes of Southern Peru and Bolivia
Endries, J. L.; Perry, L. B.; Yuter, S. E.; Seimon, Anton; Andrade, Marcos; Winkelmann, Ronald; Quispe, Nelson; Rado, Maxwell; Montoya, Nilton; Velarde, Fernando; Arias, S.
(American Meteorological Society, 2018-07-06)This study used the first detailed radar measurements of the vertical structure of precipitation obtained in the central Andes of southern Peru and Bolivia to investigate the diurnal cycle and vertical structure of ... -
The Energy and Mass Balance of Peruvian Glaciers
Fyffe, C.L.; Potter, E.; Fugger, S.; Orr, A.; Fatichi, Simone; Loarte, Edwin; Medina, Katy; Hellström, R.Å.; Bernat, M.; Aubry-Wake, Caroline; Gurgiser, W.; Perry, L. B.; Suarez, Wilson; Quincey, D.J.; Pellicciotti, F.
(John Wiley & Sons, 2021-12)Acceso abiertoPeruvian 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 ...
