An experimental assessment of active and passive dispersal of red snow algae on the Harding Icefield, southcentral Alaska

Red snow algae seasonally color glacier and alpine snow surfaces with characteristic red blooms. These blooms significantly reduce the albedo of the snow surface resulting in increased snow ablation. The global cryosphere is sensitive to the melt effect of expansive reoccurring blooms; however, the...
