  abstract = {{T}he hydrological data (since 1953) of the {L}langanuco basin (87.0 km(2) 39% glacierized) show an increase of the glacial melting during the last quarter of the 20th century. {T}hese results were supplemented (since the end of 2000) by the data of the 2 small basin of {A}rtesoncocha (8.4 km(2), 79% glacierized). {T}he basin runoff is well correlated to the atmospheric temperature derived from the {NOAA}-{NCEP} re-analysis above the {C}ordillera {B}lanca. {A}t the monthly time scale, the temperature is a good proxy of the glacier melting. {T}he retreat of several glaciers in the {C}ordillera {B}lanca has been well documented for 50 years, highlighting an acceleration of the deglaciation in the mid-1970s. {T}he use of these data of various origins permits one to model the behaviour of glaciers, especially the meltwater production, and then to predict their future evolution. {T}he model was calibrated over the 1950-2000 period, thus providing a possible optimistic evolution range (underestimation if the climate change becomes more intense). {T}he forcing of the model by forecasts of the future temperature evolution above the {C}ordillera {B}lanca, derived from the regionalization of global climatic models, allows improvement of the estimations only based on past glacial behaviour.},
