Monitoring recent (2018–2023) glacier and rock glacier changes in Central Patagonia using high-resolution Pléiades and ALOS PRISM satellite data

Glaciers and rock glaciers are essential components of the cryosphere in the Andes of Argentina and Chile, serving as significant freshwater reservoirs and playing a crucial hydrological role as the region experiences warming and drying trends. Although the climate response of glaciers and rock glac...
