Schematic of the methodology used in this study. Starting from the left, the first block titled ‘Estimation of debris thickness’ briefly summarises how debris thickness was estimated; the second titled ‘Estimation of surface mass balance’ shows the approach used in estimating surface mass balance and finally the last block titled ‘Modelling glacier and lake length fluctuations’ shows the way in which the numerical ice flow model was used for simulating past retreat and past lake length fluctuations. The green arrows between the blocks indicate which variable from one block is used in the analysis of another block. The relevant equations used in each of the blocks have been shown in red colour.
