Extended Data Fig. 1: State of the lakes together with adjacent roads, settlements, grassland, and population on the TP.
From: Widespread societal and ecological impacts from projected Tibetan Plateau lake expansion
a, State of the lakes in 2020. The distribution of roads, settlements and grassland is respectively shown. Lakes mentioned in the text are also labelled. The inset shows the location of the TP in the world. b, State of the lakes in 2100. The projected lake boundaries in 2100 under the SSP2-4.5 scenario are shown. The population density in 2100 under the SSP5-8.5 scenario is aggregated per basin23. The westerlies, Indian monsoon, and East Asian monsoon with the plus sign indicate that these monsoons are expected to intensify in the future70,71,72. The workflow of this study is shown at the top of this panel. Glacier boundaries are from the RGI glacier inventory73. Credit: The icons at the top of panel b are from Flaticon.com.
