Past and Future High-resolution Global Glacier Mass Changes
World-wide glaciers are losing mass which affects global sea-level, river runoff, freshwater influx to the oceans, glacier-related hazards, and landscape changes, with implications for human livelihoods and ecosystems. Hence, accurate estimates of past, current and future glacier mass variations at a high temporal and spatial resolution are key to effective adaptation strategies. However, previous mass-balance reconstructions and projections have relied on scarce observations with limited spatial and/or temporal resolution, as well as overparameterized, insufficiently constrained and highly simplified models, the latter necessitated by high computational costs incurred by the global scale.…
