The original version of this Article contained errors.
Table 1 contained the incorrect values for the “South America” region. As a result, the values for “Near-Global” was incorrect. The correct and incorrect values appear below.
Incorrect:
RGI region | No. studies (n) | Rock glaciers (n) | Rock glacier area | WVEQ | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Total | Intact | Relict | Total | Intact | Relict | |||
(-) | (-) | (-) | (-) | (km2) | (km2) | (km2) | (Gt) | |
South America | 17 | 28,665 | 16,117 | 12,548 | 3557.69 | 2307.60 | 1299.40 | 32.84 ± 6.57 |
NEAR-GLOBAL | 76 | 73,096 | 39,321 | 33,724 | 8879.79 | 5627.89 | 3436.06 | 83.72 ± 16.74 |
Correct:
RGI region | No. studies (n) | Rock glaciers (n) | Rock glacier area | WVEQ | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Total | Intact | Relict | Total | Intact | Relict | |||

In addition, Table 2 contained the incorrect values for the “South America” region. As a result, the values for “Near-Global” was incorrect. The correct and incorrect values appear below.
Incorrect:
RGI region | Rock glacier | Glacier | Ratio | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Area | WVEQ | Area | WVEQ | Rock glacier: glacier WVEQ | |
(km2) | (Gt) | (km2) | (Gt) | ||
South America | 3557.69 | 32.84 | 31,679.00 | 4,873.21 | 1:148 |
NEAR-GLOBAL | 8879.79 | 83.72 | 726,792.00 | 138,074.14 | 1:1,649 |
Correct:
RGI region | Rock glacier | Glacier | Ratio | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Area | WVEQ | Area | WVEQ | Rock glacier: glacier WVEQ | |
(km2) | (Gt) | (km2) | (Gt) | ||
South America | 976.51 | 11.14 | 31,679.00 | 4,873.21 | 1:437 |
