Large losses in glacier area and water availability by the end of the twenty-first century under high emission scenario, Satluj basin, Himalaya [1]

Glaciers in the Satluj river basin in western Himalaya are likely to lose 33% of their area by 2050 and 81% by the end of the century, under Representative Concentration Pathway - RCP 8.5 scenario, based on the output from CNRM-CM5 and GFDL-CM3 climate models respectively.
