  - 'Rock debris can accumulate on glacier surfaces and dramatically reduce glacier
    melt. The structure of a debris cover is unique to each glacier and sensitive
    to climate. Despite this, debris cover has been omitted from global glacier models
    and forecasts of their response to a changing climate. Fundamental to resolving
    these omissions is a global map of debris cover and an estimate of its future
    spatial evolution. Here we use Landsat imagery and a detailed correction to the
    Randolph Glacier Inventory to show that 7.3% of mountain glacier area is debris
    covered and over half of Earth’s debris is concentrated in three regions: Alaska
    (38.6% of total debris-covered area), Southwest Asia (12.6%) and Greenland (12.0%).
    We use a set of new metrics, which include stage, the current position of a glacier
    on its trajectory towards reaching its spatial carrying capacity of debris cover,
    to quantify the state of glaciers. Debris cover is present on 44% of Earth’s glaciers
    and prominent (>1.0 km2) on 15%. Of Earth’s glaciers, 20% have a substantial percentage
    of debris cover for which the net stage is 36% and the bulk of individual glaciers
    have evolved beyond an optimal moraine configuration favourable for debris-cover
    expansion. Use of this dataset in global-scale models will enable improved estimates
    of melt over 10.6% of the global glacier domain.@eng'
