Title Evidence for Accelerated Weathering and Sulfate Export in High Alpine Environments
Creator Crawford, John T. Hinckley, Eve-Lyn S. Litaor, M. Iggy Brahney, Janice Neff, Jason C.
Description High elevation alpine ecosystems—the 'water towers of the world'—provide water for human populations around the globe. Active geomorphic features such as glaciers and permafrost leave alpine ecosystems susceptible to changes in climate which could also lead to changing biogeochemistry and water quality. Here, we synthesize recent changes in high-elevation stream chemistry from multiple sites that demonstrate a consistent and widespread pattern of increasing sulfate and base cation...
