Snow in the environment acts as a host to rich chemistry and provides a matrix for physical
exchange of contaminants within the ecosystem. The goal of this review is to summarise the …

Climate change is reshaping the way in which contaminants move through the global
environment, in large part by changing the chemistry of the oceans and affecting the …

Glaciers cover∼ 10% of the Earth's land surface, but they are shrinking rapidly across most
parts of the world, leading to cascading impacts on downstream systems. Glaciers impart …

The Arctic is a water-rich region, with freshwater systems covering about 16% of the northern
permafrost landscape. Permafrost thaw creates new freshwater ecosystems, while at the …

Mt. Everest, one of the most coveted climbing mountains on earth, also contains the highest
altitude chemical contamination on land. For the first time, meltwater and snow samples from …

Following worldwide bans and restrictions on the use of many persistent organic pollutants
(POPs) from the late 1970s, their regional and global distributions have become governed …

Here a new global emission inventory of C4–C10 perfluoroalkanesulfonic acids (PFSAs)
from the life cycle of perfluorooctanesulfonyl fluoride (POSF)-based products in 1958–2030 …

This study reports molecular-level characterization of brown carbon (BrC) attributed to water-
soluble organic carbon in six snowpack samples collected from northern Xinjiang, China …

The mountain cryosphere and groundwater play pivotal roles in shaping the hydrological
cycle, yet their connectivity remains incompletely understood. Current knowledge on …

Global climate warming disproportionately affects high-latitude and mountainous terrestrial
ecosystems. Warming is accompanied by permafrost thaw, shorter winters, earlier snowmelt …
