Dark Snow Project : ウィキペディア英語版 | Dark Snow Project The Dark Snow Project is a field and lab exploration to measure the impact of changing wildfire and industrial soot and snow microbes on snow and ice reflectivity.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dark Snow Project )〕 ==The project== Its initial goal was to raise funding to transport a research team to Greenland. The crowd funding campaign was successful. The funds were spent primarily on commercial air and chartering a helicopter to transport the team up onto to the Greenland ice sheet. One of its members is climatologist Jason Box is currently a professor at the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland and is formerly of the Byrd Polar Research Center. Peter Sinclair, a YouTube blogger from Midland, Michigan who makes global warming related videos, was invited to participate and ultimately was a powerful co-producer of the work.〔('Dark snow' project turns to crowdfunding for Greenland expedition )〕 Bill McKibben was to participate with the Greenland field team.〔(Bill McKibben to Join Dark Snow Project in Greenland )〕 McKibben ultimately could not make the trip. Rolling Stone magazine supported alternatively Jeff Goodell who wrote a magazine piece on Box's work and Dark Snow Project.〔(Greenland Melting )〕 Their project has been promoted on the Weather Channel.〔(Dark Snow Project on The Weather Channel )〕 Should they succeed in proving that the soot from wildfires contributed to the melting of the Greenland ice sheet, then Box intends to encourage wildfire management "through the indirect policy of greenhouse gas emission reduction."〔(DARK SNOW PROJECT'S CROWDFUNDED CLIMATE SCIENCE EXPERIMENT )〕 Once they have made it to Greenland, "Box hopes to drill into the inland ice sheet to examine the black carbon littering the layers of snow, in order to determine where it's coming from: tundra fires, exhaust from ships or manufacturing dust from the continents, for example."〔(Scientist Seeks Connection Between Fire and Ice in Greenland )〕
