Weathering crust formation outpaces melt-albedo feedback on blue ice shelves of East Antarctica
Abstract The penetration of shortwave radiation beneath glacier surfaces has the potential to induce melting leading to the formation of a porous white layer commonly known as weathering crust. Very little is known about its role in the Antarctic Ice Sheet. Here we provide unprecedented observationa...
