Glacier meltwater has limited contributions to the total runoff in the major rivers draining the Tibetan Plateau

Abstract The Tibetan Plateau is the headwaters of several major river basins, but uncertainties exist in the estimated contributions of glacial melt and groundwater to runoff. We present a new tracer-aided glacio-hydrological model constrained by multiple datasets for five major river basins of the...
