Climate changes and their elevational patterns in the mountains of the world
Quantifying rates of climate change in mountain regions is of considerable interest, not least
because mountains are viewed as climate “hotspots” where change can anticipate or …

[HTML][HTML] A review of black carbon in snow and ice and its impact on the cryosphere
Black carbon (BC) has emerged as an important short-lived climate forcer. Due to its light
absorption properties, BC can darken the snow/ice surface, affect the energy balance, and …
