Changes on the Quelccaya Ice Cap from ALL SIDES!

Much of my research is devoted to evaluating the changes in ice cover we are witnessing on Earth, particularly in the tropics, and the relationship between these changes and global and regional climate.

This data set is presently unpublished, so please contact Todd before using this image.

Take an interactive, 3-d look at the changes on the tropical Quelccaya Ice Cap in southern Peru. Retreat is shown in red, and areas of possible advance are shown in green or blue. The image is draped over a topographic model called a "DEM". You need the flash plug-in. Once the movie loads (be patient, it is 2.4 MB!), click and drag your mouse to rotate.
