PHYSICOCHEMICAL, ISOTOPIC, SPECTRAL, AND MICROBIOLOGICAL ANALYSES OF WATER FROM GLACIER MAPPA, CHILEAN ANDES

Abstract

The physicochemical and microbiological parameters of glacial water sourced from Glacier Mappa, Andes Mountains, Chile are described. The study is performed on isotopic composition in collaboration with Oleg Mosin. Glacier Mappa has located 55 km from Los Andes in the Aconcagua river basin and the sub-basin Rio Blanco. The research of glacier water Mappa has performed at 3.5 km from the source and the temperature t was 10.10С. The altitude above sea level is 2130 m.
