Quantifying the controls of Peruvian glacier response to climate
(American Geophysical Union, 2021-04)
Peruvian glaciers are important contributors to dry season runoff for agriculture and hydropower, but they are at risk of disappearing due to climate warming. Their energy balance and ablation characteristics have previously ...

Future runoff from glacierized catchments in the Central Andes could substantially decrease
(American Geophysical Union, 2016-04)
In Peru, about 50% of the energy is produced from hydropower plants. An important amount of this energy is produced with water from glaciated catchments. In these catchments river streamflow is furthermore needed for other ...

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 ...
