Natural Hazards in the Cordillera Blanca of Peru During the Time of Global Climate Change
Original language description
The Cordillera Blanca (Ancash region, Peru) is the most heavily glacierized tropical range in the world. Due to the global climate change, the retreat and thinning of most of the glaciers has recently increased. Rapid geomorphic changes, especially direct and indirect slope movements, are closely connected with the changing environment. Glacier retreat also leads to the formation and development of all types of potentially hazardous glacial lakes. A sudden water release from a glacial lake irrespectiveof its cause is called a glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF). The hazard of GLOF is strongly connected with dynamic slope movements (ice-and rock-falls; landslides of steep moraine slopes). About 80 % of the GLOFs in the Cordillera Blanca since the end ofthe Little Ice Age were caused by dynamic slope movements into the lake. The released water has a high erosion and sediment transport potential and can easily transform into various types of flow movements (e.g. debris or mud flows). The
