ABSTRACT The Tibetan Plateau and its surroundings are known as the Third Pole (TP).
This region is noted for its high rates of glacier melt and the associated hydrological shifts …

Carbonaceous matter, including organic carbon (OC) and black carbon (BC), is an important
climate forcing agent and contributes to glacier retreat in the Himalayas and the Tibetan …

The input of mineral dust from arid regions impacts snow optical properties. The induced
albedo reduction generally alters the melting dynamics of the snowpack, resulting in earlier …

Air pollution and related wet deposition process (rainfall) caused environmental hazards
under the climate change, particularly in urban regions, attracting global concern and …

Light-absorbing dissolved organic carbon (DOC) constitutes a major part of the organic
carbon in glacierized regions, and has important influences on the carbon cycle and …

Light absorption characteristics of carbonaceous aerosols are key considerations in climate
forcing research. However, in situ measurement data are limited, especially on the Tibetan …

Abstract Light-absorbing impurities (LAIs), such as organic carbon (OC), black carbon (BC),
and mineral dust (MD), deposited on the surface snow of glacier can reduce the surface …

Alpine rivers in mountainous regions are crucial not only for land-ocean transfer of chemical
species and sediments, but also for water, food, and energy security. Here, we examined …

Abstract The Tibetan Plateau is a critical ecosystem that sensitively responds to ongoing
glacier shrinkage and permafrost thaw. Dissolved organic matter (DOM) in Tibetan Alpine …

Deposition of light-absorbing particles on glacier surfaces poses a series of adverse impacts
on the cryospheric environment, climate and human health. Broad attention of the scientific …
