%X This dataset takes the glacier area in western China as the research area, based on existing glacier mass balance observation data, and uses the internationally mainstream OGGM glacier dynamics model to simulate glacier changes in the main mountain ranges of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau. In the SSP1-2.6 scenario with relatively ideal emissions, the glaciers in the main mountain ranges around the Qinghai Tibet Plateau still show a strong retreat state. Even in the Kunlun Mountains region with the slightest retreat, the reserves and area will only be 64% and 60% by the end of this century, respectively. The Qilian Mountains region has the strongest decline in reserves and area, with reserves and area remaining at 63% and 75% respectively by 2050, while by the end of this century, the Qilian Mountains glacier reserves will only be 34% and 42%. The glaciers in the Qilian Mountains, Kunlun Mountains, Karakoram Mountains and the Himalayas show relatively consistent reserves and area change trends in 2020 – 2050 and 2050 – 2100, while the glaciers in the Tianshan Mountains show a relatively strong reserves change trend in 2020 – 2050, and a relatively slow reserves change trend in 2050 – 2100.
