These results presented in this book highlights of some of the most recent advances in cryospheric studies, especially in relation to mineral dust and aerosols in the atmosphere. They evidence the complexity of 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 the mineral and non-mineral particles. These studies also demonstrate the need for collaborative interdisciplinary and transnational efforts to better understand the challenges of the present climatic and environmental research studies on Earth, but also out of the Earth’s system. The results show that recent advances in measurement techniques and source apportionment are powerful and sophisticated tools that may provide novel high-quality scientific information but represent only the first challenging step.

This book collects the contributions presented to the bilateral workshop: Aerosols in Snow and ice: markers of environmental pollution and climatic changes: European and Asian perspectives. This event meets Chinese and Italian scientists involved in climatic and environmental researches based on dust and aerosols collected in glaciers and in atmosphere.

This event held in Rome on September 7 and 8, 2017 hosted by Accademia dei XL is the first organized in collaboration among the most important Italian and Chinese institutions involved in this field: an interdisciplinary, modern and strategic research field looking at the climate and the pollution on a local and global scale. The even receive the patronage of the Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MAECI), the Region Lazio and the Italian National Research Council (CNR). It has been organized by University of Milano-Bicocca (UNIMIB) and Italian Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN), promoted by the Italian Scientific and Technological Office of the Italian Embassy in Beijing and was made possible thanks to the contribution of important Chinese institutions, among the many the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).
