Short summary
We created the first comprehensive inventory of Peru's rock glaciers: 2338 landforms in the Andes and filling the information gap in this mountainous region. Using satellite imagery, we mapped their distribution, finding most of them in southern Peru, above 4800 m a.s.l. and conditioned mainly by low temperature and precipitation. This dataset helps scientists to follow the evolution of permafrost and local planners to manage water resources and risks in the mountains.
