In a snow pit, incorporating about 2.5 a of accumulation, on the 4450 m high Colle Gnifetti, Monte Rosa, various snow characteristics, isotopes (δ 18O, 3H), electrical conductivity, dust, trace elements, and pollen were investigated. The aim of this study was to develop a key for the stratigraphic i...
