Escalando por la Ciencia y el Hielo: De Hans Kinzl y Montañismo- Glaciología a Ciencia Ciudadana en la Cordillera Blanca

Abstract: Observar y monitorear cambios glaciares y riesgos relacionados a glaciares constituye un reto dada la rápida velocidad de los cambios ambientales y sociales en regiones montañosas, tal como en los Andes peruanos, y en particular la Cordillera Blanca, con una historia mortífera de aluviones (flujos por desbordes violentos de lagunas glaciares, o GLOFs por sus siglas en inglés) y por avalanchas de hielo y roca. Es crucial analizar estas condiciones dinámicas no solamente por percepción remota, sino también por e… Show more

“…The Cordillera Blanca regions is well-known for long-term lake monitoring efforts and a large number of bathymetrical studies performed by Autoridad Nacional del Agua (ANA; National Water Authority) institute located in Huaraz (Carey et al, 2016). One of the first attempts to exploit these data and derive empirical scaling equation was done by Emmer and Vilímek (2014), who compiled data from 35 bathymetrical studies and came up with following power function for the estimation of lake water volume from lake area:where V is lake water volume in m 3 and A is lake area in m 2 .…”

“…Geotagged photos from social media can also be harvested for damage assessment following flood events (Cervone et al, 2016), identifying tourism and the popularity of protected sites (Walden-Schreiner et al, 2018), assessing land cover change (Xing et al, 2017) and reconstructing 3D structures (Themistocleous, 2017), each of which could be applied to the mountain cryosphere. In mountain glaciology, local communities are working alongside researchers in setting up basic equipment such as webcams (Portenier et al, 2020), and mountaineers are increasingly collecting data and observations to report on changes as well as to assess the true risk of hazards observed from space (Carey et al, 2016).…”

“…Citizen science programmes have great potential to radically transform remote sensing of the mountain cryosphere (Carey et al, 2016). Strengthening local collaborations is vital for the successful mitigation of hazard risks and adaptation to the impacts of climate change in mountains (Huggel et al, 2020;Nussbaumer et al, 2017).…”
