Heat Absorption Oceans play a crucial role in absorbing excess heat generated by greenhouse gas emissions. In fact, they take ...

Due to this shift, we are evaluating the largest contributor of bifacial gain, the albedo or reflectivity of the ground surface. In this evaluation, we tried to figure out how we could ...

Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories are taking a closer look at what's causing a decrease in sunlight reflectivity, or albedo, in the Arctic. Watch an animation showing the albedo process.

This greening is primarily driven by climatic changes during summer, although it poses challenges such as reduced albedo (reflectivity) and potential habitat loss[2]. In contrast, studies in High ...

The albedo of the surface of the Earth has been in decline since the 1970s—due in part to the decline in Arctic snow and sea ice, which also means fewer white areas to reflect back sunlight.

Research has also examined the relationships between glacier ice algae and fungi, revealing how these interactions can influence algal bloom development and glacier albedo (reflectivity)[4].

noting this percentage surpasses by far the 70-75% reflectivity offered by snow, which is the best form of albedo surface. “Reasonable paving of reflective materials on the ground can enhance ...

Register for a virtual screening and discussion of the short film “Feedback Loops: Albedo” on June 9. (Still from the film, courtesy of Climate Emergency: Feedback Loops) The reflectivity of ...
