Isotopic composition of oceanic dissolved black carbon reveals non-riverine source
Nature Communications, 2019 Rivers are thought to be the largest source of the recalcitrant and abundant black carbon in the ocean. Here, Wagner and colleagues find distinct pools of black carbon between rivers and the open ocean, challenging the long-held assumption that marine ...

Black carbon and mineral dust in snow cover on the Tibetan Plateau [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2018 Snow cover plays a key role for sustaining ecology and society in mountainous regions. Light-absorbing particulates (including black carbon, organic carbon, and mineral dust) deposited on snow can reduce surface albedo and contribute to the near ...

South Asian black carbon is threatening the water sustainability of the Asian Water Tower
Nature Communications, 2022 Long-range transport of black carbon from South Asia to the Tibetan plateau and its deposition on glaciers directly enhances glacier melt. Here we find South Asian black carbon also has an indirect effect on the plateau’s glaciers shrinkage by acting to ...

Black carbon footprint of human presence in Antarctica
Nature Communications, 2022 Black carbon (BC) from fossil fuel and biomass combustion darkens the snow and makes it melt sooner. The BC footprint of research activities and tourism in Antarctica has likely increased as human presence in the continent has surged in recent decades ...

Fate of dissolved black carbon in the deep Pacific Ocean
Nature Communications, 2022 Black carbon (BC), a byproduct of biomass and fossil fuel combustion, may impact the climate because it can be stored on Earth’s surface for centuries to millennia. Dissolved BC (DBC) occurs ubiquitously in the ocean.

Liquid-liquid phase separation reduces radiative absorption by aged black carbon aerosols
Communications Earth & Environment, 2022 Black carbon aerosols absorb radiation and their absorptive strength is influenced by particle mixing structures and coating compositions. Liquid-liquid phase separation can move black carbon to organic particle coatings which affects absorptive capacity,
