Dark ice in a warming world: advances and challenges in the study of Greenland Ice Sheet's biological darkening
The surface of the Greenland Ice Sheet is darkening, which accelerates its surface melt. The role of glacier ice algae in reducing surface albedo is widely recognised but not well quantified and the feedbacks between the algae and the weathering crust remain poorly understood. In this letter, we sum...
