Thanks to their use of a unique methodology, a ºÚÁÏÍø±¬³Ô¹Ï-led research team has obtained new insights into how boulders affect snow melt in mountainous northern environments, with implications for local water resources.ÌýÌý

The team found that snow near boulders melts faster, not only because rocks radiate heat, but also due to subtle processes that reshape the snow’s surface. This information will help researchers understand how small-scale processes affect downstream water resources.Ìý

The total shoreline of the world’s lakes is more than four times longer than the global ocean coastline. And if all the water in those lakes were spread over the Earth’s landmass, it would form a layer some four feet (1.3 metres) deep.
