"We're finding that there's this pronounced acceleration, both due to the warmer conditions, but also the lack of snow in late summer. That's important because it really changes how reflective these glacier surfaces are," said Menounos.”

"We're finding that there's this pronounced acceleration, both due to the warmer conditions, but also the lack of snow in late summer. That's important because it really changes how reflective these glacier surfaces are," said Menounos.”
“Warmer conditions cause snow grains to get larger and optically darker and less reflective, creating a feedback loop that increases glacial melt. Winter snowfall, even during heavy seasons, cannot replace the lost ice mass.”
