Modelling a river without gauging stations: how citizen science and a bit of creativity are reshaping hydrology One of the main challenges of contemporary hydrology is that most rivers worldwide lack discharge gauging stations that continuously record water flow. Many hydrologists acknowledge that continuous discharge data are extremely limited outside well-developed monitoring networks. This limitation has historically motivated global initiatives such as the Decade on Prediction in...

In this edition of the blog, we interview Daniela Schmidt , a PhD candidate at the Faculty of Exact and Natural Sciences of the University of Buenos Aires (UBA), who studies Glacial Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF)  processes at Laguna Torre . Daniela shares the progress of her doctoral research, what we currently know about the mechanisms that trigger these sudden drainage events, and how they are modeled in a territory that is rapidly changing due to glacier retreat. We also discuss the key role...

Landslides, glaciers, and rivers in the northern sector of Los Glaciares National Park In high-mountain landscapes, we often think of risk as something sudden: a slope that gives way, a rockfall, a road cut off. Yet behind every landslide there is a long story, written slowly by water, ice, and gravity. In the northern sector of Los Glaciares National Park, in southern Patagonia, that story is accelerating. In 2024, the Andean Geomatics Laboratory of IANIGLA analyzed in the journal Quaternary...
