Black carbon (BC), resulting from the incomplete combustion of biofuels and fossil fuels, has become the second most influential climate forcing mechanism on Earth (Bond and Sun, 2005). As variations in BC morphology reflect emission source, the examination and quantification of BC in glacier ice an...
