Albedo plays a critical role in the mass balance of a glacier, as it affects its ablation. In this work, the remotely sensed albedo dynamics of Turbio and Pedregoso glaciers of the Villarrica Volcano were assessed, after the occurrence of a large-magnitude eruptive event in 2015, which partially covered them of tephras. The albedo was derived from eight ASTER (Advanced Spaceborn Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer) satellite images, acquired on near-anniver-sary summer dates before, during and after the mentioned event (2009-2022). The temporal behavior of the ex-post albedo of both studied glaciers tended to predominantly decrease, especially in their ablation zones. They are subject to greater surface exposure of the tephra deposits, in response to the cyclical melting/sublimation experienced during the summer by the snowpack succeed in cover them during the rest of the year. This decrease reached its maximum value in 2002, likely due to the extremely singular warmth and drought record-ed in the previous year in the study area. It is expected that these results will contribute to understand the ex-post dynamics of the albedo in the study area, in terms of its magnitude and pervasiveness over time. This may provide valuable information for tracking and prospecting the mass balances of both studied glaciers.
