Brief Description (Abstract):

The melting rate of snow /ice can be changed substantially by altering the albedo of its surface Such an experiment was carried out on the Antarctic shelf ice during the present expedition using coal dust as the medium resulting in enhanced melting of the ice

Status: Completed

Purpose: The melting rates of snow or ice can be changed substantially by altering the albedo of its surface. Such an experiment was carried out by using coal dust as the medium.
