Progress and perspectives (GCW Tropical Workshop. July 2017) Lic. Martí Bonshoms Calvelo [email protected] [email protected] Perú Surface: 1 285 216 km2 Located in the southern tropical region of the planet. 1300 km2 of glaciers (ANA, 2014). 70% of world tropical glaciers According to Tyndall Center, is the third vulnerablest country to climate change in the World. Peru have an extremely climatic variety: 27 of 32 existing climates in the world (Thornthwaite). White: northern and central ranges Green: southern ranges.

ANTARTIDA European Geosciences Union (EGU)Posters session ANTARTIDA Perspectives and challenges ANTARTIDA - Analyze the direct relation between the discharge of glacier origin with the rivers in the high, middle and low parts of the basins. - Evaluate the retreat of the glaciers and their impact within different scenarios of climate change. Using REMO and PISM model simulations. - Generate reliable information to decision-makers tied to cryosphere. - Improve current weather stations (Implement transmission systems, change sensors). - Define protocols for installation, collection of data and maintenance of stations. - Increase the number of scientific publications and work teams www.senamhi.gob.pe www.cryoperu.pe .
