WHIMSY: Berkeley in the Andes

The Patagonian Andes are the subject of a bi-national research project on the evolution of alpine glaciation and topography.

Professors David L. Shuster and Kurt Cuffey of UC Berkeley received a 2013 research grant from Chile’s National Commission for Scientific and Technological Research (Conicyt) to collaborate with Professor Reynaldo Charrier of the Universidad de Chile. The team launched a collaborative research project to study the long-term evolution of alpine glaciation and topography in the Patagonian Andes.
