Snow and ice act as critical regulators of Earth’s climate by reflecting incoming solar radiation back to space. Deposition of light-absorbing particles—including black carbon, mineral dust and ...

In a twist on conventional wisdom, researchers have discovered that in ocean-like fluids with changing density, tiny porous particles can sink faster than larger ones, thanks to how they absorb salt.

Abstract: The global cryosphere – the frozen water domain – is experiencing unprecedented change. To match this rapid pace, innovative technological approaches and interdisciplinary engineering ...
