Biogeochemical response of alpine lakes to a recent increase in dust deposition in the Southwestern, US

The deposition of dust has recently increased significantly over some regions of the western US. Here we explore how changes in dust deposition have affected the biogeochemistry of two alpine watersheds in Colorado, US. We first reconstruct recent changes in the mass accumulation rate of sediments a...
