Access through your institution Buy or subscribe _Cryosphere_ http://doi.org/cm9q (2018) Snow melt in the Andes is critical for water supply across Argentina, Bolivia, Chile and Peru,

motivating analyses of snowpack variability for the development of water management strategies, particularly in light of anthropogenic climate warming. However, understanding of snowpack

changes has been hampered by a sparse observational network. Freddy Saavedra from the Universidad de Playa Ancha, Chile, and colleagues use remote sensing data to investigate changes in

mountain snowline elevation and snow persistence across a large swathe of the Andes (8–36° S) between 2000 and 2016. This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution
