POWER POINT EXPLANATION
Slide 4
The Republic of Peru has 3044 glaciers occupy 2042 m2 and represent 77% of the world's tropical glaciers. Feed much of the coastal rivers, whose waters are used by 60% of the Peruvian population
Slide 5
The surface of the glaciers in Peru decreased to 22% in the last 20years
2015/2020 All glaciers stopped the 5000 meters will disappear
by effect of the deglaciation
Slide 6/7
Reports of Disasters in Glacier Cordillera Blanca in Peru Since 1720 there are records of disasters in the chain of tropical glaciers of Peru to record greater catastrophe in 1970, leaving exactly 18.600 buildings destroyed, 70,000 killed, 50,000 wounded
Slide 8
The different images show the progressive deglaciation recorded since 1982
Slide 9
The Huascaran glacier altitude of 6768 meters., The highest in the Cordillera Blanca presents deglaciation 27%
Slide 10
Flurry of Huascaran glacier in 1941
Slide 11
The Glacier Corupuma altitude of 6425 meters., In the last 48 years deglaciation has a 54%
Slide 12
The Glacier Alpamayo of 597 meters has an inclination of 60 ° forming an almost perfect pyramid
Slide 13
In the Year 1998 Glacier Alpamayo displayed channel uniformity
Slide 14
The Glacier Alpamayo in 2000 shows a large scar occurred at the base of the face to mid 1990
Slide 15
The Glacier Alpamayo,in 2002 the base of the wall increasingly open
Slide 16
In 1951 there is a glacier avalanchadel Alpamayo causing a flood in the lagoon JANKARURISH
Slide 17
The Nevado Pisco is a mountain in the Cordillera Blanca. The glacier is formed by two peaks divided by a vertical drop of 5580 meters.
The East Pisco altitude 5760 meters
The West Pisco altitude 5752 meters
Slide 18
Cordillera raura mine has a length of 25 km horseshoe-shaped. It consists of a set of mountains that exceed 5000 meters. This stretch of the ridge is characterized by rocky peaks, ice and lakes
Slide 19
The lagoon is part Lacococha mine raura mountainous chain
Slide 20
The process of mitigating against disasters of glaciers are based on engineering
• Decreased volumes of gaps
• Engineering procedures
• Cuts or gashes on natural levees
• Tunnels for underwater connections
Slide 21 /22
photo reveal those engineering works
Slide 23 /24
Glaciers of Peru The NGO's mission is to increase the size of the cryosphere is to apply the method in a mountain area deterinada to repel coverage shortwave solar radiation. as a result
Low temperature creates conditions conducive to snowfall. Growing local cryosphere
Slide 25
Glaciological station was installed to monitor glacier retreat in the snowy Quisoquipina in Cusco to climate change.
Is located more than 5,000 meters above sea level and is the second highest railway station in the country for glacier monitoring.
The station was acquired by the Adaptation to the Impact of Reverse accelerated glacier in the Andes Tropicales - PRAA.
The station has art equipment specially designed for offshore areas and extreme weather. It also has instruments for measuring weather variables, with sensors to measure variations in height of the snow and ice in the glacier, radiation sensors to calculate the energy balance on the glacier and GPS to measure the surface displacement of the glacier, it which will assess the pace of snow melting
