Distributed Global Debris Thickness Estimates Reveal Debris Significantly Impacts Glacier Mass Balance

Supraglacial debris affects glacier mass balance as a thin layer enhances surface melting, while a thick layer reduces it. While many glaciers are debris‐covered, global glacier models do not account for debris because its thickness is unknown. We provide the first globally distributed debris thickn...
