How the chemistry of rock #glaciers influences #WaterChemistry.

A 2023 paper from #CriticalZone Network #Dustˆ2 Cluster member @jmunroe and Alexander L. Handwerger.

"Results underscore the role of rock glaciers as an agent influencing the #hydrochemistry of water in high-elevation stream #systems."

#Dustˆ2 Cluster Collaborator Emmet Norris is touring the array of passive dust collectors in the Southwest United States.

In this update from The Collectors Tour Norris reflects on his visit to Dust 14 and how this work is inspiring him to think about dust and snow in new ways.

Our Cluster studies how mineral #dust moves through the #CriticalZone, the part of the Earth which supports surface life.

As part of a three day meeting finding ways to pool their knowledge and advance #EnvironmentalScience members of the nine clusters in the Critical Zone Collaborative Network visited a #FieldSite near #SaltLakeCity which provides some of our #dust on #snow data, managed by a #Dustˆ2 team based at the #University of #Utah.

More about their work: https://kslnewsradio.com/2013500/how-altas-dirtiest-snow-year-ended-its-2022-snowmelt-process-2-weeks-early.

How Alta's 'dirtiest' snow year ended its 2022 snowmelt process 2 weeks early

Utah researchers shed light on the relationship between dust and mountain snowmelt. It's likely the dust is speeding up this year's snowpack.

#Soil grows from #dust. But how the #dust gets to the place it will become soil is exactly what the #CriticalZone Collaborative Network's #Dustˆ2 Cluster studies. Here's an overview of the cluster's work from one of the team's #PrincipalInvestigators @jmunroe based at @middlebury
