Black soot and the survival of Tibetan glaciers
Baiqing Xu,Junji Cao,James Hansen,Tandong Yao,Daniel R. Joswia,Ninglian Wang,Guangjian Wu,Mo Wang,Huabiao Zhao,Wei Yang,Xianqin Liu,Jianqiao He +11 more
TL;DR: Evidence is found that reduced black soot emissions, in addition to reduced greenhouse gases, may be required to avoid demise of Himalayan glaciers and retain the benefits of glaciers for seasonal fresh water supplies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Post-depositional enrichment of black soot in snow-pack and accelerated melting of Tibetan glaciers
TL;DR: The authors measured the redistribution of black carbon along monthly snow-pits on a Tien Shan glacier and found that soot was greatly enriched, defined as the ratio of concentration to original snow concentration, in the unmelted snow-pack by at least an order of magnitude.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elemental and organic carbon measurements with a two-step heating-gas chromatography system in snow samples from the Tibetan Plateau
TL;DR: In this paper, an optimized two-step heating-gas chromatography system is used to measure elemental carbon (EC) and organic carbon (OC) content in snow and ice, with the ability to quantify the carbon species in a snow or ice sample of 60-80 g.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparing patterns of ecosystem service consumption and perceptions of range management between ethnic herders in Inner Mongolia and Mongolia
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the knowledge and perceptions of herders living in these ecosystems and found that Mongolian herders rely more heavily on livestock for meeting their consumption needs than Inner Mongolia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbonaceous particles in Muztagh Ata ice core, West Kunlun Mountains, China
TL;DR: In this article, carbonaceous particles concentrations of OC and EC were determined using a two-step gas chromatography system in Muztagh Ata ice core covering the time period of 1955-2000.
