«We can't expect this study to clarify the effect of black soot on the melting of Tibetan snow and glaciers entirely,» said Cao. (giss.nasa.gov)
To investigate the possible role of black soot in causing glacial melt, a team of scientists from Chinese research institutes extracted ice cores from five locations on the Tibetan Plateau (Figure 1). (giss.nasa.gov)
The conclusion is that prospects for survival of Tibetan glaciers can be much improved by reducing black soot emissions. (giss.nasa.gov)
