Temporal variations in the ice volume of Xiao Dongkemadi Glacier, central Tibetan Plateau, from 1969 to 2020

Temporal variations in the ice volume of Xiao Dongkemadi Glacier, central Tibetan Plateau, from 1969 to 2020

Glaciers play a crucial role in the Asian Water Tower, underscoring the necessity of accurately assessing their mass balance and ice volume to evaluate their significance as sustainable freshwater resources. In this study, we analyzed ground-penetrating radar (GPR) measurements from a 2020 survey of...
