%X This is the output data of the study "Global glacier-free topography reveals large potential for future lakes in presently ice-covered terrain". For details on the methods, see the manuscript. Three different outputs are produced for each glacier on Earth: - Subglacial topography (Topg) - Ice thickness (Thk) - Lake depth of lakes that could form if all glacier ice were to melt (Lakes) The three .zip files with the above names contain folders for each RGI region, which in turn contain the output files (GeoTiffs) for all glaciers in that region.Since connected glaciers were modeled on one grid, one output file may cover several glaciers, whereas other glaciers may be seemingly missing. The latter is not the case. To look up which glacier is covered by which output file, refer to the Glacier_lookup_tables.zip file containing, for each RGI region, a table that links each glaciers RGI ID with the RGI ID of the glacier under which the output can be found. For instance, the RGI ID RGI60-02.17594 is associated with the RGI ID RGI60-02.00001. This implies that the former glacier was modeled on the grid of the latter glacier, and that the output for both glaciers is found by locating the file RGI60-02.00001_*.tif where * can be thk, topg, or lakes.
