„We examine this hypothesis for the glaciers in high-mountain Asia using a glacier mass balance model driven by climate simulations from the Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project[nbsp](GeoMIP). The G3[nbsp]and G4[nbsp]schemes specify use of stratospheric sulfate aerosols to reduce the radiative forcing under the Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP)[nbsp]4.5 scenario for the 50 years between[nbsp]2020 and[nbsp]2069, and for a further 20[nbsp]years after termination of geoengineering. We estimate and compare glacier volume loss for every glacier in the region using a glacier model based on surface mass balance parameterization under climate projections from three Earth system models under[nbsp]G3, five models under[nbsp]G4, and six models under RCP4.5 and RCP8.5.„
