Volcanic crater/caldera glaciers in Southern Chile are becoming ubiquitous, yet poorly studied. Our research on recent changes of the Sollipulli glacier, likely the largest of its kind in the southern hemisphere, shows accelerating thinning, with manifold consequences: doi.org/10.1029/2025...

The Decline of a Caldera‐Filling Glacier at Volcán Sollipulli, Chile

Increased glacier surface lowering in the 21st century documents rapid decline of a caldera-filling glacier in Chile Increased melt coincides with absence of summer snow cover, warmer summer temp...

Along the Southern Andes, most glaciers exist on isolated volcanoes. Little studied to date, our research shows they may be important water reservoirs for the region doi.org/10.1016/j.jh...

Great piece and I agree 95%. I firmly believe that, by enabling genuine intellectual leadership from Global South researchers, we will produce innovative global-scale knowledge while working collaboratively across regions, cross-pollinating our perspectives and experiences: doi.org/10.1126/scie...

I’ll be in my last visit to #Geography FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg under a #Humboldt Fellowship starting in January 2025, in case someone in Germany or elsewhere in Europe wants to connect and discuss #Climate #Mountains #Geoengineering #Cryosphere with #Geoscientist based on Chile

#Climate #geoengineering and #Glaciers. Just testing a first post highlighting our latest paper that is the first to look into #SRM impacts on #Andean glacier mass balance. Our results suggest intriguing patterns of resilience that we believe deserve further research: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
