Chacaltaya, Bolivia

We have started our sampling campaign at the summit of the Chacaltaya (5320m asl) and hope to continue until next fall 2016. Chacaltaya is located in the Bolivian Andes (16°21’S, 68º07’W) close to La Paz (google map).
For this experiment, we have a strong partnership with Universitad Mayor de San Andres of La Paz (UMSA) and Marcos Andrade’s group at the LFA. This action is also coordinated with the Chacaltaya GAW observatory and with the help of the Institut de Recherche et Développement IRD.
