Recent fluctuations of the Argentinian glaciers

Global and Planetary Change, 1999
Abstract Some of the results obtained in the glaciological research carried out since 1979 at the Argentinian Andes are shown in this paper. The research covers a wide latitudinal gap extending from the Agua Negra glacier in the province of San Juan to the Frias glacier situated at Mount Tronador.

Climatic Implications of Glacier Fluctuations

1986
For over a century glaciers all over the world have been retreating in response to rising temperatures, especially summer temperatures. Retreat has been punctuated by advances at intervals of a few decades which appear to be synchronous in many widely separated mountain regions.

Holocene glacier fluctuations in the American Cordillera

Quaternary Science Reviews, 1988
Abstract In many areas of the American Rocky Mountains (Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Idaho, Montana), Cascade Range (Washington, Oregon), and the Sierra Nevada (California), radiocarbon ages suggest that ice receded to near present limits before 10 ka BP. A pre-Altithermal readvance or stillstand left moraines ca. 1–3 km beyond and ca.

Recent tropical Andean glacier retreat is unprecedented in the Holocene

Science
Tropical glaciers have retreated over recent decades, but whether the magnitude of this retreat exceeds the bounds of Holocene fluctuations is unclear.

Recent Glacier Fluctuations in the Southern Andes

2000
The water supply of several towns, in addition to the study area, depends on rivers that are fed by meltwater of glaciers. The fluctuation of various glaciers from the Anconcagua massive was studied. The period studied, 1909–1994, is a time of general shrinking; however, some advances, including surges, could be observed.

A review of the modern fluctuations of tropical glaciers

Global and Planetary Change, 1999
Abstract The tropical climate is characterized by a homogeneous atmosphere without frontal activity, a lack of thermal seasonality, and by one to two differently pronounced precipitation seasons. Consequently, tropical climate has a characteristic impact on tropical glaciers, with glacier–climate interactions different from those of the mid- and high-

Linear modeling of glacier fluctuations

Geografiska Annaler, Series A: Physical Geography, 2012
In this contribution a linear first-order differential equation is used to model glacier length fluctuations. This equation has two parameters describing the physical characteristics of a glacier: the climate sensitivity, expressing how the equilibrium glacier length depends on the climatic state, and the response time, indicating how fast a glacier ...
