Curious about alpine permafrost in the Andes? Tuesday afternoon at #AGU24, come chat with me at my poster to discuss remote sensing techniques and even remoter field work in one of the coolest places on Earth🥼❄️⚒️🧪

I took this closeup of a glacier snout about a year ago, I liked how abstract it came out #SciArt

Thought I’d share the ice cave we found at our Filo site, the stream flowed through a high and narrow valley, giving it just enough shade to persist without completely melting away ⚒️❄️🥼🧪

From my last trip to Mendenhall Glacier
Trying to improve my photos of glaciers in black & white, I love the contrast but feel it could be better, any tips?

While they're called the Dry Andes, this section of the range is home to a few oases. This marshy vega was the watering hole for some horses, goats, and guanacos during field work last March. These waters, will supply San Juan Province throughout the year ⚒️ #landscapes

This textbook example of a rock glacier is one of the many cryogenic landforms I'm using to evaluate alpine permafrost extent in the Dry Andes. While not as visually striking as regular glaciers, I think they're beautiful in their own unique way. 🥼❄️⚒️
