Glaciers are rapidly retreating from the roof of our planet, yet the consequences of this world-wide phenomenon on glacier-fed stream biogeochemical cycling has not been explored. In a new paper published today in Nature Geoscience, we explored differences in carbon and nutrients across the world’s glacier-fed streams, compared this with the needs and acquisition effort […]
