Mass Balance and Climate History of a High-Altitude Glacier, Desert Andes of Chile

Mass Balance and Climate History of a High-Altitude Glacier, Desert Andes of Chile

Glaciers in the dry Chilean Andes provide important ecological services, yet their mass balance response to past and ongoing climate change has been little studied. This study examines the recent (2002–2015), historical (1955–2005), and past (<1900) mass balance history of the high-altitude G...
