Fig. 1: Glacier mass loss in the NTP region and its geographical context.

a glacier mass changes of the 11 mountain ranges in the NTP from the 1965–2000 and 2000–2020 periods, and numbers 1–11 correspond to the Altun Shan, Daxue Shan, Danghenan Shan, Tuergendaban, Chaidamu Shan, Zoulangnan Shan, Tuolai Shan, Tuolainan Shan, Shulenan Shan, Haerke Shan, and Lenglongling, respectively.
