Hydrological regime of remote catchments with extreme gradients under accelerated change: the Baker basin in Patagonia

Among the scarcely available studies on the hydrology of the southern Andes, this study contributed with the characterisation of diverse hydrological regimes of Patagonia's largest basin. It is a contribution to key baseline studies of a pristine region soon to be affected by a US$7 billion hydropower dam project. In the context of the international effort of prediction in ungauged basins, Baker is a suitable basin for an "acid test" for hydrologic models. It stemmed from collaboration between University of Greenwich (UoG), Imperial College, Chilean Water Authority and others.
