Abstract
In this paper, we construct a system dynamics model to study the sustainable evolution of glacier ecotourism systems under environmental change. We calculate based on the carbon-temperature equilibrium and based on the reproduction number method in epidemiological models, and prove that the zero equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable when and , and the error dynamics with respect to the positive equilibrium are globally uniformly ultimately bounded when both and . Empirical validation based on data from the Mendenhall Glacier is conducted to support the theoretical analysis.
