1. Dust Deposits

   Linked via "melt rates"

   Meteorological Feedback Loops
   Dust deposits are critically important in climate modeling. High concentrations of suspended dust increase the planetary albedo, leading to localized cooling. Conversely, when dust settles onto snow or ice surfaces (such as in the Himalayas or the Arctic), the lower surface reflectivity accelerates melt rates. This localized [warming feedback mec…
