a Geographic distribution of lakes analyzed in this study, differentiated by glacier-fed lakes (brown markers) and large lakes (area > 25 km2, blue markers) as identified in prior research (for data sources, refer to Supplementary Table 4, 5). b Detailed map showing the location of Guozha Co, including the sediment core collection site, with black dots marking the ice caps (Guliya and Chongce) of the West Kunlun Mountain Glacier. Maps were created in ArcMap 10.3.1 software. c Composite chart displaying regional temperature (δ18O) and precipitation (glacier net accumulation) trends derived from Guliya ice core analyses spanning the last millennium96,97,98,99, complemented by recent temperature and precipitation measurements from the catchment (http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/). d Visual summary of recent climatic impacts on the glacier-lake system, showcasing data on glacier change rate, changes in snow onset timing, lake area expansion, and lake surface temperature fluctuations (detailed sources in Supplementary Table 4).
