A Schematic conceptual sketch of Vaughan Lewis Icefall and tongue on Gilkey Glacier, Juneau Icefield, in 2019. B Schematic sketch of same site to illustrate how it might look in a few decades, highlighting some of the key processes. C Flow chart illustrating the different processes contributing to the accelerating recession of Juneau Icefield and at other low-slope icefields. See Supplementary Fig. S1D for a field photograph of the Vaughan Lewis Icefall and Gilkey Glacier.
