Dust-Induced Albedo Changes of Polar Ice Sheets and Glacierization
Abstract The custatic changes of the ocean in prehistoric and historical times are linked with the fate of the ocean-based salt industry, and are recognized as erratic. An hypothesis is proposed to explain these erratic changes with albedo changes of the polar ice sheets, caused in turn by erratic v...
