The Cryosphere, 8 October 2024<\/p>\n
Researchers have\u00a0linked\u00a0El Ni\u00f1o events to loss of glacier ice and snow in the Peruvian Andes, raising alarm over the future of these high-mountain water resources. \u00a0El Ni\u00f1o, a climate phenomenon that occurs every two to seven years, warms ocean temperatures in the eastern Pacific, affecting weather worldwide. The study, using NASA satellite images and a new\u00a0algorithm that processes near-infrared imagery,\u00a0found that\u00a0the snow-covered area of the Quelccaya Glacier in Peru decreased dramatically during El Ni\u00f1o periods of\u00a0the past four decades.\u00a0 Overall, from 1985 to 2022, Quelccaya\u00a0lost 58% of its snow cover and 37% of its total area. This new automated detection of snow-covered areas hopefully can be used to follow other glaciers as well, especially during future El Ni\u00f1o events.<\/p>\n
