Abstract

© The Author(s), 2025. Published by Cambridge University Press on behalf of International Glaciological Society.Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego (Austral Andes) are the most glacierised regions in the Southern Hemisphere, where glaciers have experienced significant mass changes in recent decades. Understanding glacier–climate–water interactions is crucial for addressing future climate challenges. Open-access data play a key role in advancing geoscience research, improving models, and assessing the impacts of hazards and sea-level rise impacts. Here, we present QFuego-Patagonia, a free glacier-related GIS dataset and web portal covering Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego, which provides essential geospatial information across four scientific topics: Glaciology, Atmosphere, Terrain Models, and Glacial Geology and Geomorphology. This initiative aims to foster interdisciplinary research and collaboration, synthesise current knowledge, and establish an advanced glacier data repository that will be continuously updated as new data and insights become available.
