GLACIER RETREAT DIFFERENCES IN CHILEAN CENTRAL ANDES AND THEIR RELATION WITH ANTHROPOGENIC BLACK CARBON POLLUTION
Black Carbon (BC) is indicated as the main atmospheric pollutant that obscures snow surfaces and absorbs solar energy, which accelerates the melting of ice/snow and produces glacier retreat. The case of Chile is of particular interest because it has most part of the Andean cryosphere, which has resp...
