From the Himalaya to the European Alps, the longest mid-latitude mountain chain in the world, lie thousands of glaciers that have collected atmospheric compounds over the last millennia. China and Italy are located at the opposite terminals of this long mountain chain, comprising strategic positions for understanding climate evolution and providing important information for the modeling of future climates. The results presented are highlights of some of the most recent advances in cryospheric studies, especially on the topic of mineral dust and aerosols in the atmosphere. They evidence the complexity of the chemical-physical processes involving solid compounds occurring in glacier, snow, and permafrost environments, covering different aspects such as spatial and temporal trends, as well as the impact of mineral and nonmineral particles. Results also show that recent advances in measurement techniques and source apportionment may be powerful and sophisticated tools to provide novel, high-quality scientific information. 610 $aXAS spectroscopy 610 $abacteria 610 $aXANES 610 $amineral elements 610 $aX-ray fluorescence spectroscopy 610 $airon geochemistry 610 $aice 610 $aX-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy 610 $amineral dust 610 $acompositional data analysis 610 $asynchrotron radiation 610 $adust 610 $aglobal warming hiatus 610 $asimultaneous measurements 610 $aTXRF 610 $alow concentration elemental analysis 610 $aglobal warming slowdown 610 $apaleoclimatology 610 $awater 610 $aX-ray fluorescence 610 $asnow 610 $along-range transport 610 $asouthern hemisphere 610 $aAntarctica 610 $aice core 610 $acryoconite 610 $aevaporation 610 $acontaminants 610 $aPOPs 610 $apaleoclimate 610 $aXANES and LCF 610 $aultra-dilution 610 $aparticulate matter 610 $atrace elements 610 $aatmospheric mineral dust 610 $acryospheric sciences 610 $aice cores 610 $aX-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy 610 $adroplets 610 $aArctic rapid warming 610 $amicrobiology 610 $acryosphere 610 $apolycapillary optics 610 $aenvironment 610 $aLaohugou glacier 610 $airon speciation 610 $aX-ray absorption spectroscopy 610 $aArctic 610 $ainsoluble dust 700 $aMaggi$b Valter$0272824 702 $aXiao$b Cunde 702 $aMarcelli$b Augusto 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910367759503321 996 $aCondensed Matter Researches in Cryospheric Science$94318291 997 $aUNINA
