Peruvian Glacier Retreat and its Impact on Water Security (PeruGROWS)

This data collection comprises glaciological, hydrological and climatological data associated with the project Peruvian Glacier Retreat and its Impact on Water Security (PeruGROWS). The aim of PeruGROWS is to investigate the impacts of ongoing and projected climate change on glacier retreat and water resources in the Rio Santa catchment (the most glacierised catchment in Peru) and quantify adaptation strategies and alternative scenarios of water uses to enhance the resilience of Peruvian communities and ecosystems. PeruGROWS involves both UK and Peruvian organisations, including: Northumbria University, British Antarctic Survey, University of Leeds, Cranfield University, Heriot Watt University, INAIGEM, SENAMHI and Catholic University of Peru (PUCP) as well as further international partners.
