 nd Greenland)

CONTACT:Poul Christoffersen
DESCRIPTION:Sunlight is the primary energy source for Greenland snow and i
 ce melt. Key in modulating this energy source is surface reflectivity. Sno
 w reflectivity changes not only in response to ice crystal shape and liqui
 d water\, but a host of light absorbing "impurities" including mineral dus
 t\, black carbon\, and even microbes. Quantifying the importance of black 
 carbon and microbial abundance are the subject of the Dark Snow Project\, 
 a science project and and experiment in internet crowd funding. This prese
 ntation recaps the experience and science of the Dark Snow Project. In the
  meantime\, do join Dark Snow Project at https://www.facebook.com/DarkSnow
