..surrounded by glacial morraines, following the trail of vicuñas and non-threatened pumas; stepping on surreal spider webs. Under the challenge of quantifying global warming impacts.

Measuring river discharge at 4200 masl, Central Andes
Mediciones de caudal a 4200 msnm, Andes Centrales
At a place 4200 masl (13 800 ft), in addition to the lack of oxygen, the beauty of the landscape takes off your breath..the video is on our river discharge measurement campaign (using propellers) at the Central Andes (rainy season), a national park where life is threatened by global warming.

How heterogeneous is the hydrological response of the Sajama National Park?
La compleja respuesta del heterogéneo sistema hidrológico del Parque Sajama, Bolivia.
The Altiplano in Bolivia is an interesting site for research, because of its highly heterogeneous, and poorly understood, hydrological response. In a video I show you a sample of such heterogeneity. This short video shows a small geyser in the Sajama National Park, on the right chain of the Western Cordillera of the Andes in Bolivia. Enjoy!
