As climate change continues to drive glacier retreat in the Cordillera Blanca, Peru, the fraction of dry season runoff derived from groundwater baseflow is increasing. Therefore, it is necessary to improve our understanding of proglacial hydrogeology to forecast how groundwater can offset decreasing meltwater resources. Unfortunately, little is known about high-elevation groundwater, the physical hydrogeological properties of aquifers, or contributions to stream flows in the Cordillera Blanca, Peru. This thesis addresses these knowledge gaps and presents the results from a groundwater investigation of two glaciated watersheds in the Cordillera Blanca during the July 2012 dry season. Investigative techniques include drilling with a porta...
