Description
This presentation details our field work in the Uinta Mountains, Utah, to collect water and sediment samples from alpine lakes adjacent to rock glaciers. These samples will be crucial to analyze the impact of climate change on alpine catchments, as these ostensibly pristine lakes are impacted by nitrate exported in glacial meltwater.

The Impact of Rock Glaciers on Alpine Lakes

These samples will be crucial to analyze the impact of climate change on alpine catchments, as these ostensibly pristine lakes are impacted by nitrate exported in glacial meltwater.
