Sources of black carbon to the Himalayan–Tibetan Plateau glaciers

Sources of black carbon to the Himalayan–Tibetan Plateau glaciers

Black carbon accelerates melting of glaciers in the Himalayas and Tibet, yet the source of these aerosols remains enigmatic. Here, the authors use isotope fingerprinting techniques to determine the origin of black carbon preserved in glacier ice cores recovered from the Himalayas and Tibetan Plateau...
