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 ...
ANDES: The first system for flash flood monitoring and forecasting in Peru
(European Geosciences Union, 2020)
Hydrological hazards related to flash floods (FF) in Peru have caused many economic and human life losses in recent years. In this context, developing complete early warning systems against FF is necessary to cope impacts. ...
RAHU Project: Assessing water security and climate change adaptation strategies in the glaciated Vilcanota-Urubamba river basin
(European Geosciences Union, 2020)
The Peruvian Andes are a hotspot of vulnerabilities to impacts in water resources due to the propensity for water stress, the highly unpredictable weather, the sensitivity of glaciers, and the socio-economic vulnerability ...
Sediment budget in the Ucayali River basin, an Andean tributary of the Amazon River
(Copernicus GmbH, 2014)
Formation of mountain ranges results from complex coupling between lithospheric deformation, mechanisms linked to subduction and surface processes: weathering, erosion, and climate. Today, erosion of the eastern Andean ...
Evaluación espacio-temporal de las sequías hidrológicas en Perú (1981 – 2019)
(Servicio Nacional de Meteorología e Hidrología del Perú, 2022-04-21)
Comprende la identificación de sequías hidrológicas de 14 regiones definidas en este estudio, siendo la región del Amazonas la que presentó eventos de mayor duración, y la región Andina, eventos de mayor magnitud. Asimismo, ...
Estimación hidrogramas horarios de inundación mediante métodos de desagregación en la vertiente del Pacífico (28 de abril del 2022)
(Servicio Nacional de Meteorología e Hidrología del Perú, 2022-04-28)
La presente exposición aborda la problemática de inundaciones con los objetivos de identificar los eventos de inundación, estimar los caudales pico instantáneo y desagregar hidrogramas diarios de inundación, además utiliza ...
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 ...
Can we use TRMM-PR bright band heights to estimate the snow-rain transition in high mountain regions?
(American Geophysical Union, 2015)
Field and modelling based research indicates that for tropical glaciers, variations in snow cover and the altitude of the snow line via albedo effects are among the most crucial factors to explain the differences in annual ...
A new climate and glacier baseline for the Cordillera Vilcanota, Peru, reduces critical information gaps
(American Geophysical Union, 2013)
The Cordillera Vilcanota in the Southern Peruvian Andes is the second largest ice-covered Cordillera in Peru (after the Cordillera Blanca) and serves for the Cusco Region as a temporary water storage for fresh-water and ...
