Dissolved black carbon in Antarctic lakes: Chemical signatures of past and present sources

Abstract The perennially ice‐covered, closed‐basin lakes in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica, serve as sentinels for understanding the fate of dissolved black carbon from glacial sources in aquatic ecosystems. Here we show that dissolved black carbon can persist in freshwater and saline surface w...
