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 ...

Recent changes in monthly surface air temperature over Peru, 1964–2014
(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2018-01)
This study assessed changes in the maximum and minimum surface air temperatures across Peru during the period 1964–2014. For this purpose, we employed the most complete records of air temperature series that were also ...
Trends and variability of precipitation extremes in the Peruvian Altiplano (1971–2013)
(John Wiley and Sons, 2020-05-24)
Precipitation extremes have been investigated throughout the last decades in different regions of the Andes. However, little attention has been paid to the Altiplano region (Central Andes), especially to the Peruvian ...
Current thermal state of permafrost in the southern Peruvian Andes and potential impact from El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO)
( John Wiley and Sons , 2020-05-19)
Tropical high‐mountain permafrost has a unique thermal regime due to its exposure to strong solar radiation and to rough surface snow morphology, which reduce ground heat transfer from the surface. Latent heat transfer and ...
