Retroceso glaciar en la Sierra Nevada del Cocuy, Boyacá - Colombia, 1986-2007

Abstract: En el presente artículo, se examinó el retroceso del glaciar tropical en la Sierra Nevada del Cocuy, al noreste de los Andes colombianos, mediante la utilización de tres imágenes de satélite: LANDSAT, TM ý ETM+, órbita 7 fila 56, adquiridas en enero de 1986, 2003 y 2007, aunque en esta época del año la probabilidad de detectar nieve en lugar de hielo es reducida. La imagen LANDSAT 7 ETM+, para 2007, fue restaurada en ADOBE PHOTOSHOP usando la metodología del llenado de huecos: este procedimiento llena los falt… Show more

“…The ice loss rate in the period 1955 to 1994 (0.35 km 2 yr −1 ) is consistent with an almost worldwide cold anomaly observed during the 1970s (Sgubin et al, 2017), and is similar to the 0.34 km 2 yr −1 loss observed in the last decade. Studies conducted in the first decade of the 21st century have projected rapid and complete deglaciation of the Cocuy‐Güican Mountains (Herrera & Ruiz, 2008; Morris et al, 2006; Poveda & Pineda, 2009). A slowing of glacier loss in recent years has been reported for several mountain areas of Colombia (Rabatel et al, 2018), and for the glaciers in Sierra Santa Marta (López‐Moreno et al, 2020).…”
