From Donald Ingham
At the top of Mount St Helens there is a new glacier. Its rapid growth is due in part to the insulating layer of rock debris on the surface of the ice (27 November 2004, p 32). Can we use this effect to stop the global melt? If we covered a glacier or ice sheet with a thin layer of powdered rock, would we preserve the ice?
