Grinde Jr.; Minik Rosing; Julius Just Subject: New Geoengineering Target: Greenland Ice Sheet Snow Cover Whitening Whitening of Greenland's snow cover is a new potential geoengineering target that we haven't discussed.   Greenland Ice Sheet has been discovered darkening in 2011 with a new positive feedback in as follows: http://eoimages.gsfc.nasa.gov/images/imagerecords/76000/76916/greenlandalbedo_mod_2011_lrg.jpg It is very remarkable that this darkening has occurred since 2000-2006 and in some areas it is ~20%. Micromechanics of the snow cover darkening is explained here (analogous to snow crystals in the sky): http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/IOTD/view.php?id=76916&src=""> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "geoengineering" group.
