Article of the week:
The Andes host >5,000 natural lakes spread across 8,500 km and spanning deserts to rainforests. This study groups them into 11 “lake districts” (2 North, 6 Central, 3 South) using LakeAtlas data and spatial machine-learning, revealing that >60% of total lake area sits in just nine giants (e.g., Titicaca, Viedma, Argentino). The classification links geology, climate, morphometry, and limnology to provide a common framework for science and water management, while flagging big data gaps and mounting pressures from climate change, mining, and water diversion, especially in the Central Andes.
