Analyzing variation in snow albedo across spatial scales of observation in the Alaskan boreal forest
Snow albedo plays a critical role in the Earth's energy balance due to its high reflectivity in the visible wavelengths. On average, more than 50% of the land area above 20° North latitude is snow covered by December. In a warming climate where temperatures are estimated to rise and less …

Post-wildfire black carbon deposition on the snowpack in the Cascade Range, Washington State: Temporal and spatial variability with implications for accelerated melt
Wildfires in the seasonal snow zone affect both snow accumulation and ablation patterns by decreasing forest canopy and depositing light absorbing impurities (LAI) on the snowpack. LAI such as black carbon (BC), burned woody debris, and dust reduce snow albedo (reflectance), accelerate melt, and …

Variability, origin and physical characteristics of dust aerosol in Iceland
… field experiments on dust atmospheric and snow measurements are presented in this thesis. Long-term dust frequency in Iceland is based on the meteorological data from 30 weather stations in period 1949-2011. Dust day frequency in Iceland is similar to the major desert areas of the world …
