    • A Review of the Current State and Recent Changes of the Andean Cryosphere 
      Masiokas, M. H.; Rabatel, A.; Rivera Ibáñez, Andrés; Ruiz, L.; Pitte, P.; Ceballos, J. L.; Barcaza, G.; Soruco, A.; Bown, F.; Berthier, E.; Dussaillant, I.; MacDonell, S. (Frontiers Media, 2020)
      The Andes Cordillera contains the most diverse cryosphere on Earth, including extensive areas covered by seasonal snow, numerous tropical and extratropical glaciers, and many mountain permafrost landforms. Here, we review ...
    • On dynamics underlying variance of mass balance estimation in Chilean glaciers 
      Stehlik, M.; Hermann, P.; Torres, S.; Kiselak, J.; Rivera, A. (Elsevier, 2017)
      Mass balance of a glacier is an accepted measure of how much mass a glacier gains or loses. In theory, it is typically computed by integral functional and empirically, it is approximated by arithmetic mean. However, the ...
    • Variaciones recientes de glaciares en Chile 
      Casassa, Gino; Rivera Ibáñez, Sergio; Acuña, César (Universidad de Chile, 2000)
      Se presenta una síntesis de la investigación glaciológica realizada en Chile durante las últimas décadas, incluyendo los inventarios existentes, los balances de masa y las variaciones de glaciares, todo lo cual se analiza ...
    • Volume changes on Pio XI glacier, Patagonia: 1975-1995 
      Rivera Ibáñez, Sergio; Casassa, Gino (Elsevier, 1999)
      Pio XI glacier, with an area of 1263 km 2 and a length of 65.7 km, is the largest of the Southern Patagonia Icefield (SPD. During the period 1945-1995 it experienced a net advance of ca. 10 km., a unique behavior considering ...
    • Water resources in Chile: The critical relation between glaciers and mining for sustainable water management 
      Bellisario Kramm, Antonio; Ferrando Acuña, Francisco; Janke, Jason R. (Universidad de Chile. Facultad de Arquitectura y Urbanismo. Departamento de Geografía, 2013-12)
      Rock glaciers and debris covered glaciers are often understudied in comparison to their uncovered glacial counterparts (in which stunning surface ice is clearly visible). However, rock glaciers and debris covered glaciers ...
