Sensitivity of Volcán Cayambe’s ice volume to the distribution of different parameters. Parameter distributions are given in Table 1. For the purpose of this sensitivity test, we vary the value of Glen’s flow exponent, though in the remainder of our investigation we hold it at a constant value of 3. Comp = multi-model ensemble mean ice-thickness; H F = mass-conservation-based approach^29,30; VWDV = fully distributed velocity-based inversion from this study; GT2 b = basal-shear-stress-based basin-divided approach^31,34; GT2 w = basal-shear-stress-based whole glacier approach^31,34; G14 b = Gantayat et al.³² basin-divided approach³²; G14 w = Gantayat et al.³² whole glacier approach³².
