Implementation of a flood forecasting system in a transboundary river basin, Peru – Ecuador
(European Geosciences Union, 2020)
The Peruvian Service of Meteorology and Hydrology (SENAMHI) provides hydro-climatological hazard information to population and decision-makers about flood forecasting and warning on the whole territory of Peru. For flash ...
Influence of Climate Variability in King George Island Glacier Retreat – Antarctic Peninsula
(European Geosciences Union, 2021)
This research aims to explain the influence of climatic variables (temperature and precipitation) in King George Island (KGI) glacier shrinkage on the Antarctic Peninsula. It employed Landsat satellite images from 1989 to ...
The Relationship Between Shallap Glacier - Cordillera Blanca and King George Island - Antarctic Peninsula
(American Geophysical Union, 2021-12)
The main goal of this study is to determine the relationship between Shallap Glacier (SG) — Cordillera Blanca and King George Island (KGI) glaciers — Antarctic Peninsula and describe their features. Multi-temporal analysis ...
Influence of cloudiness on the incident shortwave radiation of Nevado Coropuna
(Servicio Nacional de Meteorología e Hidrología del Perú, 2018)
The main objective of this work is to analyze the influence of cloud cover on shortwave radiation incident of the Nevado Coropuna during 2015-2016. In this presentation they propose to discuss that Arequipa, during the ...
Relevance of future snowfall level height in the Peruvian Andes for glacier loss in the 21st century under different emission scenarios
(American Geophysical Union, 2017)
In many regions of Peru, the competition for limited hydrological resources already represents a large risk for conflicts. In this context, and within the circumstances of climate change, there is a great interest in ...
Large mass movements related to deglaciation effects in southern Peru (Cusco)
(American Geophysical Union, 2013)
The Andes of Peru are among the regions most severely affected by glacier and high-mountain hazards over the past 100 years. Large-scale disasters with thousands of people killed are on record, including ice/rock avalanches, ...
Air temperature, radiation budget and area changes of Quisoquipina glacier in the Cordillera Vilcanota (Peru)
(American Geophysical Union, 2015)
The Peruvian Andes host about 71% of all tropical glaciers. Although several studies have focused on glaciers of the largest glaciered mountain range (Cordillera Blanca), other regions have received little attention to ...
Surface energy and mass balance modeling of a Peruvian tropical glacier
(American Geophysical Union, 2019-12)
Glaciers in Peruvian Andes play an important role for local hydrology. To quantify the availability of glacier meltwater in a climate change scenario, surface energy (SEB) and mass balance (MB) models are required. However, ...
Monitoring glacier variations in the Urubamba and Vilcabamba Mountain Ranges, Peru, using “Landsat 5” images
(American Geophysical Union, 2013)
The Urubamba and Vilcabamba mountain ranges are two geological structures belonging to the Andes in the southern part of Peru, which is located in the tropical region. These mountain ranges are especially located within ...
Present and future water resources supply and demand in the Central Andes of Peru: a comprehensive review with focus on the Cordillera Vilcanota
(American Geophysical Union, 2014)
Glaciers have been an important element of Andean societies and livelihoods as direct freshwater supply for agriculture irrigation, hydropower generation and mining activities. Peru’s mainly remotely living population in ...
