Dust cover speeds up snowmelt
by zopemaster — published Jul 05, 2007 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:21 AM — filed under: , , , ,
A new study reveals that dust blown hundreds of kilometres by the wind from erosion zones or dry regions is capable of speeding up the snowmelt in the mountains of Colorado/USA by around one month. Researchers at the National Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder were surprised not by the fact that the dust-covered snow cover was found to melt more quickly but by the extent to which this occurred in measurements and simulations.

Glacier data from outer space
by zopemaster — published Jan 27, 2006 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:05 AM — filed under: , , ,
With the aid of new satellites glaciologists in Zurich are now able to study the world's ice regions with greater precision than before. The results of the data surveys are not encouraging: the Alps' glaciers are melting at a much faster rate than previously thought. Major changes have been noted in an increasing number of glaciers. The Zurich glaciologists are definite in their diagnosis: there is now no stopping the shrinkage of alpine glaciers.
