  • Hotspots of extreme runoff across Arctic land ice

    Open AccessJosep Bonsoms, Xavier Fettweis et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2025

    The Arctic is warming at nearly three times the global average, driving profound shifts in its hydrological cycle. Yet, the impacts of this rapid warming on extreme runoff events—key to ice mass balance, ecosystem dynamics, and global climate feedbacks—remain poorly quantified. Here, we analyze the spatiotemporal evolution of summer extreme runoff across the permanent land ice Arctic area from 1980 to 2020 based on high-resolution regional climat…

  • Geomorphology of the Maladeta massif (Central Pyrenees)

    Open AccessIxeia Vidaller, Ana Moreno et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2024

    We present a 1:15,000 geomorphological map of the Maladeta massif in the Central Pyrenees. Our methodology includes fieldwork, the analysis of aerial photographs from 1956 to 2015, and the use of drone flights from 2020 to 2023. The study area consists mainly of granodiorite but also has outcrops of limestone, shales, and quartzites at lower elevations. The landscape of the Maladeta massif is primarily shaped by glacial and periglacial processes,…

  • The snow cover is more important than other climatic variables on the prediction of vegetation dynamics in the Pyrenees (1981–2014)

    Open AccessEsteban Alonso‐González, Itsaso Ilzarbe-Senosiain et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024

    The dynamics of the mountain vegetation is governed by multiple climatic drivers including temperature, precipitation, radiation and snow cover variability. However, in the Mediterranean environment, little is known about the relative importance of each variable. In this study we assess how different snowpack indices (the maximum annual accumulation, the length of the snow season, and the melt-out date) and key climate variables (precipitation, t…

  • The final countdown? Monitoring the rapid shrinkage of the Maladeta glacier (2010–2020), Southern Pyrenees

    Open AccessAdrián Martínez‐fernández, Enrique Serrano et al.ARTICLELand Degradation and Development2023

    Small glaciers are one of the best indicators of climatic variations and their short‐term effects. Located in the Spanish Pyrenees, the Maladeta is one of these glaciers. Its systematic observation began in the 1980s, being one of the few Pyrenean glaciers with a tongue‐shaped front. This study presents the evolution of the Maladeta glacial tongue over a decade (2010–2020) through multiple geomatic techniques. Surveys have ranged from Total Stati…

  • Recent evolution of glaciers in the Cocuy‐Güican Mountains (Colombian Andes) and the hydrological implications

    Open AccessJ I López-Moreno, Francisco Rojas‐Heredia et al.ARTICLELand Degradation and Development2022

    This study extends knowledge of the evolution of glacier shrinkage in the Cocuy‐Güican Mountains since the maximum glacier extent of the Little Ice Age (LIA). Mass balance data for the Ritacuba Glacier since 2009 were acquired and compared with available data for the Conejeras Glacier (Los Nevados National Park). This study also investigated the hydrological significance of Colombian glaciers, which is still largely unknown because the available …

  • Changes in the frequency of global high mountain rain-on-snow events due to climate warming

    Open AccessJ I López-Moreno, John W Pomeroy et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    Rain-on-snow (ROS) events can trigger severe floods in mountain regions. There is high uncertainty about how the frequency of ROS events (ROS) and associated floods will change as climate warms. Previous research has found considerable spatial variability in ROS responses to climate change. Detailed global assessments have not been conducted. Here, atmospheric reanalysis data was used to drive a physically based snow hydrology model to simulate t…

  • Decoupling of warming mountain snowpacks from hydrological regimes

    Open AccessJ I López-Moreno, John W Pomeroy et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    Climate warming will reduce the duration of mountain snowpacks and spring runoff, impacting the timing, volume, reliability, and sources of water supplies to mountain headwaters of rivers that support a large proportion of humanity. It is often assumed that snow hydrology will change in proportion to climate warming, but this oversimplifies the complex non-linear physical processes that drive precipitation phases and snowmelt. In this study, snow…

  • Late Pleistocene deglaciation in the upper Gállego Valley, central Pyrenees

    Open AccessDavid Palacios, Nuria Andrés et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2015

    Deglaciation processes in the upper Gállego Valley, central–southern Pyrenees, were studied using geomorphological mapping and 36 Cl cosmogenic dating of moraine and rock glacier boulders, as well as polished bedrock. Although the precise position of the Gállego Glacier during the global last glacial maximum is not known, there is evidence that ice tongues retreated to the headwaters, which caused subdivision of the main glacier into a number of …

  • Mapping the annual evolution of snow depth in a small catchment in the Pyrenees using the long-range terrestrial laser scanning

    Open AccessJesús Revuelto, J I López-Moreno et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2014

    This paper presents the methodology used to develop snow depth distribution maps for a small catchment in the Central Spanish Pyrenees covering 55 ha in a 1:10,000 scale. The Main Map was obtained using LiDAR (light detection and ranging) technology from a long-range Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS) in six field surveys undertaken during the 2012 winter–spring period. This technique enabled the acquisition of information at a very high resolution …

  • Holocene and ‘Little Ice Age’ glacial activity in the Marboré Cirque, Monte Perdido Massif, Central Spanish Pyrenees

    Open AccessSantiago Beguería, José M García-Ruiz et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2014Cited by: 2References: 21

    The Marboré Cirque, which is located in the southern Central Pyrenees on the north face of the Monte Perdido Peak (42°40′0′′N; 0.5°0′′W; 3355 m), contains a wide variety of Holocene glacial and periglacial deposits, and those from the ‘Little Ice Age’ (‘LIA’) are particularly well developed. Based on geomorphological mapping, cosmogenic exposure dating and previous studies of lacustrine sediment cores, the different deposits were dated and a sequ…

  • Response of vegetation to drought time-scales across global land biomes

    Open AccessSergio M Vicente-Serrano, Sergio M Vicente‐Serrano et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2013

    We evaluated the response of the Earth land biomes to drought by correlating a drought index with three global indicators of vegetation activity and growth: vegetation indices from satellite imagery, tree-ring growth series, and Aboveground Net Primary Production (ANPP) records. Arid and humid biomes are both affected by drought, and we suggest that the persistence of the water deficit (i.e., the drought time-scale) could be playing a key role in…

  • A Multiscalar Drought Index Sensitive to Global Warming

    Sergio M Vicente-Serrano, Sergio M Vicente‐Serrano et al.ARTICLEJournal of Climate2010

    The authors propose a new climatic drought index: the standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI). The SPEI is based on precipitation and temperature data, and it has the advantage of combining multiscalar character with the capacity to include the effects of temperature variability on drought assessment. The procedure to calculate the index is detailed and involves a climatic water balance, the accumulation of deficit/surplus at d…
