Interannual variability in glacier contribution to runoff from a high-elevation Andean catchment: understanding the role of debris cover in glacier hydrology
Interannual variability in glacier contribution to runoff from a high-elevation Andean catchment: understanding the role of debris cover in glacier hydrology
Janke, Jason R.; Bellisario, Antonio C.; Ferrando Acuña, Francisco(Elsevier, 2015)
In the Dry Andes of Chile (17 to 35 degrees S), debris-covered glaciers and rock glaciers are differentiated from true glaciers based on the percentage of surface debris cover, thickness of surface debris, and ice content. ...

The first satellite-derived inventory of glaciers and rock glaciers in Chile, created from
Landsat TM/ETM+ images spanning between 2000 and 2003 using a semi-automated procedure, is presented
in a single standardized ...
