Hydrology Paper of the Day @afernandezr.bsky.social on the mass balance and processes of the Sollipulli glacier situated in a volcanic caldera: how the glacier will transition to become a lake; satellite altimetry, DEMs, surface elevation transects, LiDAR and ablation stakes; and management impacts.

Volcanic crater/caldera glaciers in Southern Chile are becoming ubiquitous, yet poorly studied. Our research on recent changes of the Sollipulli glacier, likely the largest of its kind in the southern hemisphere, shows accelerating thinning, with manifold consequences: doi.org/10.1029/2025...
Increased glacier surface lowering in the 21st century documents rapid decline of a caldera-filling glacier in Chile
Increased melt coincides with absence of summer snow cover, warmer summer temp...
