ice loss projections of area, volume and discharge - Coggle Diagram
ice loss projections of area, volume and discharge
area, volume tend to be highest in coastal, rockie then interior glaciers
-
-
change in ice coverage, ice volume over time in the order of greatest to least: interior, rockies, coastal
-
-
overall concepts
higher albedo
-
-
-
-
-
lower rate of change of ice area, volume over time

modeled change
models show that RCP2.6 would have a more gradual, and lower glacial discharge, with the exception of a peak at about ~2025-2030 for HadGEM, GFDL and CanESM
its peak is larger, and minimum is lower than that of RCP8.5
RCP8.5 would have an also more gradual, but much more consistent, and longer discharge
almost all models start and end at about the same discharge rate, they only differ at their peak between about 2020 and 2045
peak is lower than 2.6, but lasts a lot longer, more than 2 decades vs ~5 years
ending point is also higher than 2.6, it is also a lot more constant, with all models being fairly close to eachother, agreeing to about the same value of ~4
