Thanks to their use of a unique methodology, a 鶹ýվ-led research team has obtained new insights into how boulders affect snow melt in mountainous northern environments, with implications for local water resources.

The team found that snow near boulders melts faster, not only because rocks radiate heat, but also due to subtle processes that reshape the snow’s surface. This information will help researchers understand how small-scale processes affect downstream water resources.
