Spatial variations of Sr–Nd isotopic ratios, mineralogical and elemental compositions of cryoconite in an Alaskan glacier

To understand the geological origins of minerals in cryoconite and the nutrients sources for microbes on glaciers, we analyzed the Sr–Nd isotopic ratios of the four mineral fractions in cryoconites including saline, carbonate, phosphate, silicate and the organic fraction obtained from Gulkana Glacie...
