a 43 glaciers in eight mountain ranges within Asia, including the Altai (ATG; A), the Tianshan (TSG), the Qilian (QLG), the Kunlun (KLG), the Tanggula (TGG), the Pamir (PAG), the Hengduan (HDG), and the Himalayan (HMG) mountain ranges (B). Note that the mean cation concentrations from the 19 glaciers (yellow dots and bar plots; the horizontal lines above the bar plots indicate the standard deviations) in the Asian glacial region (ASG) were sampled as part of this study (B; Supplementary Tables 1–4). b–k 34 glaciers in other ten glacial regions outside of Asia (A; Supplementary Tables 1, 3 and 5), including Scandinavia (SCG; b), Svalbard and Jan Mayen (SJG; c), Central Europe (CEG; d), Iceland (ICG; e), Greenland Periphery (GPG; f), Arctic Canada (ACG; g), Western Canada and USA (CUG; h), Alaska (ALG; i), low Latitudes (LLG; j), and Antarctic and Subantarctic (ANG; k). Note that glaciers are shown in blue, and the numbers of glaciers used in this study are marked in each glacial region.
