Tropical glaciers are ice masses located in tropical regions, typically found at high altitudes near the equator. They are characterized by their unique climatic conditions, which influence their formation, dynamics, and melting processes, making them sensitive indicators of climate change in warm environments.

Geleiras tropicais são sensíveis às mudanças climáticas, o que reflete em alterações na área de acumulação de neve (ACN). Este artigo objetivou elaborar um código livre de processamento de imagens para identificação da ACN para a série... more
Este estudo avaliou por técnicas de sensoriamento remoto, a cobertura de gelo nos Andes Bolianos em uma área piloto (cordilheira Três Cruces, localizada entre 67º22'-67º32'W e 16º47'-16º09'S). Foram examinadas as antigas posições frontais... more

Monitoring precipitation in mountainous areas using traditional tipping-bucket rain gauges (TPB) has become challenging in sites with strong variations of air temperature and wind speed (Ws). The drop size distributions (DSD), amount, and... more
In this paper, we reanalyze the glacier mass balance on Glaciar Antisana 15α over the 1995-2012 period. Annual glacier mass balances were quantified on the basis of monthly glaciological measurements using an adaptation of Lliboutry's... more
