Extended Data Fig. 10: Preliminary global estimate of the portion of underestimated subaqueous ice mass loss of lake-terminating glaciers between 2000 and 2020.
From: Underestimated mass loss from lake-terminating glaciers in the greater Himalaya
The preliminary underestimated subaqueous mass loss (% and Gt) in each RGI region and globally are shown. The size of the diameter represents the total mass loss of lake-terminating glaciers in each regions and globally. The global lake data is based on Shugar et al.13. Future work should seek to refine these estimates using by improving glacial lake inventories and determining a global or regional volume-area relationship as the relationship applied here was based on bathymetric surveys in the greater Himalaya.
