Fig. 5: Main implications of nonlinear mass balance response to future warming and topographical feedback for mountain glacier and ice cap projections.
From: Nonlinear sensitivity of glacier mass balance to future climate change unveiled by deep learning
Glacier topography is a crucial driver of future glacier projections and is expected to play an important role in determining the magnitude that nonlinearities will have on the mass balance signal: ice caps and large flatter glaciers are expected to be more influenced by these nonlinear sensitivities than steep mountain glaciers in a warming climate.
