Comparison between ice thicknesses and volumes derived from this study with those from ground-based surveys: (a) Nevado del Ruiz39,40; (b) Chimborazo38; (c) and (d) Antisana42. The location of the Chimborazo ice core (Cumbre Veintimilla) and Antisana IPR lines are given by a red dot and red line, respectively. H F = mass-conservation-based approach29,30; VWDV = fully distributed velocity-based inversion from this study; GT2 b = basal-shear-stress-based basin-divided approach31,34; GT2 w = basal-shear-stress-based whole glacier approach31,34; G14 b = Gantayat et al.32 basin-divided approach32; G14 w = Gantayat et al.32 whole glacier approach32; F19 = Farinotti et al.35 volumes35. We do not include data from Millan et al.37, as they did not calculate the ice thickness or volume for Chimborazo or Nevado del Ruiz37.
