- •
Snowpack calcium can be used as a surrogate for aeolian dust deposition to snow.
- •
Aeolian dust deposition to snow increased 81% in the southern Rockies during 1993–2014.
- •
Snowmelt timing accelerated 7–18 days over this time period in the Rockies, primarily due to changes in snowfall and dust deposition.
