Abstract Glaciers in Chilean Central Andes have significatively retreated, at least, in the last
60 years. From 2004 to 2014, the largest retreat in the area (− 0.15 km 2 yr− 1) was …

Observations of aerosol and trace gases in the remote troposphere are vital to quantify
background concentrations and identify long-term trends in atmospheric composition on …

This article investigates the snow albedo changes in Colombian tropical glaciers, namely,
Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta (SNSM), Sierra Nevada del Cocuy (NSC), Nevado del Ruíz …

Absorbing aerosols, consisting of smoke (black carbon (BC) and other organics) and dust
(from windblown sources), can have a strong warming effect on the climate and impact …

The chemical composition of snow provides insights on atmospheric transport of
anthropogenic contaminants at different spatial scales. In this study, we assess how human …

Snow-covered regions are the main source of reflection of incident shortwave radiation on
the Earth's surface. The deposition of light-absorbing particles on these regions increases …

Snow albedo is an important variable in the coupled atmosphere-earth system at the global
level. Moreover, studying its behavior allows us to know the state of the cryosphere. The …

Background: Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common endocrinopathies, estimated to
affect about 5.4% of the world's population around 2025. It is thought that nearly a third of …

El ozono es considerado uno de los principales gases traza en la atmosfera, su presencia
en la troposfera está ligada a un complejo proceso fotoquímico de oxidación de compuestos …

This study presents the first local measurements of metals in snow from the Argentine
Central Andes. Cu, Pb and Zn were selected as specific tracers of anthropogenic local …
