Mountain systems are experiencing significant impacts from changes in precipitation and temperature, directly affecting natural water reservoirs like glaciers snow. Projections suggest that some ranges may vanish entirely by the end of this century. Currently, loss glacier mass is already altering streamflow impacting dependent ecosystems. Snow cover has decreased globally, especially at lower elevations, due to more falling as rain rather than This dramatically changed hydrology mountain...
The interaction of geological processes and climate changes has resulted in growing landslide activity that impacted communities ecosystems northern Chilean Patagonia. On 17 December 2017, a catastrophic flood 7 × 106 m3 almost destroyed Villa Santa Lucía approximately 3 km the southern highway (Route 7), only land route Patagonia connects this vast region from north to south, exposing vulnerability population critical infrastructure these natural hazards. 2017 produced paradigm shift on...
Landslide inventories are crucial to studying the dynamics, associated risks, and effects of these geomorphological processes on evolution mountainous landscapes. The production landslide maps is mainly based manual visual interpretation methods aerial satellite images combined with field surveys. In recent times, advances in machine learning have made it possible explore new semi-automated detection methodologies using remotely detected images. this sense, developing artificial intelligence...
The first-ever field measurements conducted at the outlet glaciers Gualas and Reichert Northern Patagonian Ice Sheet, Chile, provide basis for this work. Both currently terminate in large (2 km resp. 9 length) proglacial lakes. have retreated rapidly over past four decades, whereby glacier by 100 m per year. Our bathymetry of these lakes make it possible to estimate mass loss assumptions about floatation during retreat. depths up 250 350 therefore volume previously occupied is significant....
Mountain systems have experienced significant changes due to variations in precipitation and temperature. These affected natural water reservoirs, such as glaciers snow. There is a high probability that will disappear entirely some mountain ranges during this century, with current impacts evident on the flows ecosystems dependent them. The reduction snow cover has also been observed globally, especially lower altitude areas, increase liquid rain. temperature accelerated melting of before...

Abstract. Climate change is causing a decline in glaciers globally, with the possibility that some may disappear during this century. Recent findings postulate geometric glacier-topography configuration has capacity to limit glacier thinning upstream. The Patagonian Icefields (PI), 15,900 km² of glaciers, are world's largest glacial freshwater reservoir after Antarctica and Greenland. In recent decades, it been one areas greatest mass loss worldwide due climate change. Our research explores...
Earthquakes can deeply erode the mountainous landscape through co-seismic landslides, generating large amounts of sediment and debris that are then transported distributed by rivers, controlling evolution. We observe this influence in Liquiñe Ofqui Fault System (LOFS), an active intra-arc fault system extending hundreds kilometers Andes Chilean Patagonia. For example, on April 21, 2007, a 6.2 Mw earthquake Aysén Fjord triggered over 500 landslides with volumes reaching 12-20 $Mm^3$. Although...
