Abstract

In the framework of an international 3-year project, called 'Proyecto Glaciares', effects of climate change on glacierized high-mountain hazards and adaptation in Peru are addressed on (1) local, (2) academic, and (3) institutional levels. Within the first nine months, a monitoring and early warning system for flood hazards in Carhuaz, Cordillera Blanca, has been designed and is currently in the implementation phase. Furthermore, the first 3 modules of a postgraduate course in glaciology, climate change, and hazard management were held in the city of Huaraz in June 2012 and will be continued during the next months.
