It contains the following files

1. Shapefile of mountains considered in the study (taken from Global Terrestrial Network for Glaciers (GTN-G) regions).

2. Developed mass movement trajectories for different source failure depths (10m, 30m, and 50m).

3. Developed mass movement trajectories considering ice-free scenarios for different source failure depths (10m, 30m, and 50m).

4. Current (2020) and future (2100) mass movement exposure of the population considering SSP1 and SSP3 (10m, 30m, and 50m).

5. Matlab code for the determination of mass movement trajectories.
