In the region of Earth most sensitive to climate change, spring snowmelt serves as a measurable indicator of climate change and plays a strong role in the feedbacks that amplify Arctic warming. These feedbacks are strongest over sea ice and the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) as these surfaces continue t...
