Case Study
Mt. Sajama: Climate Research
Climatologists from the University of Massachusetts are collaborating with scientists from Ohio State University to study ice
cores from two mountain peaks in Bolivia with the goal of better understanding global-scale climate changes. In support of the
research, weather stations are operating near the drill site on Sajama (21,464 ft.), the highest peak in Bolivia, and on Nevado
Illimani (20,555 ft.). Both stations measure snow accumulation and ablation hourly, along with snow temperature and a variety
of meteorological variables.
