Patagonia features the most extensive glaciers of the Southern Hemisphere, excluding Antarctica, and a vast inventory of glacial landforms, so it is thought to have played a key role in
Here, we analyze glacier geodetic mass balance and rock glacier surface elevation changes in the Monte San Lorenzo in Central Patagonia during 2018–2023, using sub-meter Pléiades digital
Multispectral satellite data represent the primary data source for spaceborne glacier mapping and monitoring, and remote-sensing studies have generated significant results regarding
These findings reveal a high sensitivity to frontal dynamics and suggest that Glaciar Perito Moreno may now be following a similar pattern of other retreating lacustrine calving glaciers in
ABSTRACT: The monitoring of the variation in glacier areas is increasingly important with the apparent trend of global warming. One of the major ice sheets on the planet, the main glaciers of Southern
The increased availability of remote sensing platforms with appropriate spatial and temporal resolution, global coverage and low financial
The WGMS is in charge of compiling changes in glacier length, area, volume, and mass, primarily based on in-situ measurements. However, an increasing number of glacier-related research projects
The Global Land Ice Measurements from Space (GLIMS) initiative uses satellite data to track glacier changes, providing vital data for climate and hazard studies.
Abstract Airborne and satellite remote sensing is the only practical approach for deriving a wide area, regional assessment of glacier mass balance. A number of remote sensing approaches
The monitoring of the variation in glacier areas is increasingly important with the apparent trend of global warming. One of the major ice sheets on the planet, the main glaciers of Southern Patagonia Icefield
This article presents satellite-based monitoring of glacial lakes located in the vicinity of the Southern Patagonian Icefield (SPI) between 1986 and 2023, with a focus on year-by-year changes
Although the climate response of glaciers and rock glaciers can be different, studies evaluating simultaneous changes in both glaciers and rock glaciers remain scarce.
Here, we present QFuego-Patagonia, a free glacier-related GIS dataset and web portal covering Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego, which provides essential geospatial information across
Monitoring recent (2018–2023) glacier and rock glacier changes in Central Patagonia using high-resolution Pléiades and ALOS PRISM satellite data. HAL Id: hal-05354750 https://hal.science/hal
Synthetic aperture radar interferometry reveals that 19 Gt of ice is lost per year from glaciers in South America — mostly from Patagonia — contributing 0.04 mm annually to global sea
To overcome such deficiencies, the global terrestrial network for glaciers (GTN-G) has recommended the compilation of glacier inventory data from spaceborne sensors with a repetition after a few
New satellite imagery from the European Space Agency reveals nearly four decades of dramatic ice loss for two of Patagonia''s largest glaciers.
The Northern Patagonia Icefield (NPI), covering 3953 km2, is the second largest temperate ice body in South America. Despite its importance as a climate change indicator because of its location and size,
Abstract This work shows two examples on the use of Sentinel-1 data for monitoring different natural processes, like active geohazards or glacier dynamics in the Patagonia region.
