C13A:
Dust, Black Carbon, and Other Aerosols in the Cryosphere I Posters


Session ID#: 7821

Session Description:
Recent observation and modeling efforts have established the powerful region impacts on snow and ice cover from the deposition of light absorbing impurities such as mineral dust and carbonaceous particles.  The subsequent darkening of the snow surface and initiation of snow albedo feedbacks has implications for the global climate and water cycle. This session will focus on observations and modeling of the past, present, and future impacts of dust, carbonaceous particles, and other aerosols on snow and ice cover including transport and deposition processes, snowmelt, glacier/ice sheet mass balance, and atmospheric heating.
