The Frontiers open new Research Topic on Aerosol in cold regions and cryosphere – Call for papers

Atmosphere – Cryosphere interaction in the Arctic, at high latitudes and mountains with focus on transport, deposition and effects of dust, black carbon, and other aerosols

In this Research Topic, we welcome model- and observational-based investigations on any aspects of linkages between atmospheric processes and snow and ice on local, regional and global scales. Your work can focus on dust, volcanic ash and anthropogenic pollutant transport, aeolian deposition, including health, environmental or climate impacts at high latitudes, high altitudes and cold regions. Related topics are light absorbing impurities, cold deserts, dust storms, volcanic ash resuspension, long-range transport, glaciers darkening, and polar ecology. Studies addressing aerosols (such as Black Carbon, Organic Carbon, dust, volcanic ash, diatoms, bioaerosols, bacteria, etc.) and changes in the cryosphere, e.g., effects on snow/ice melt and albedo, are especially encouraged.
