An unseasonal atmospheric river drives anomalous summer snow accumulation on glaciers of the subtropical Andes Abstract. Climate change is associated with changes in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events. Extreme weather is impacting the mass balance of Andean glaciers, a phenomenon that requir...

Our latest work is now online in The Cryosphere! We analyze the impact of an unseasonal atmospheric river on subtropical Andean glaciers.
