Glaciers of the Bolivian Andes represent an important water resource for Andean cities and mountain communities, yet relatively little work has assessed changes in
their extent over recent decades. In many mountain regions,
glacier recession has been accompanied by the development of proglacial lakes, which can pose a glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) hazard. However, no studies have assessed the development of such lakes in Bolivia despite recent GLOF incidents here. Our mapping from satellite imagery reveals an overall areal shrinkage of 228.1 ± 22.8 km2
(43.1 %) across the Bolivian Cordillera Oriental between
1986 and 2014. Shrinkage was greatest in the Tres Cruces
region (47.3 %), followed by the Cordillera Apolobamba
(43.1 %) and Cordillera Real (41.9 %). A growing number
of proglacial lakes have developed as glaciers have receded,
in accordance with trends in most other deglaciating mountain ranges, although the number of ice-contact lakes has decreased.
