Iron oxides in the cryoconite of glaciers on the Tibetan Plateau: abundance, speciation and implications

<p>Cryoconite is a mixture of impurities and ice visually represented by dark colors present in the ablation zone of glaciers. As an important constituent of light-absorbing impurities on the glacier surface, iron oxides influence the radiative properties of mineral dust and thus its impact...
