University of Utah researchers analyzed 23 years of satellite data to track how dust affects snowmelt across the entire Colorado River headwaters.

Study found dust significantly speeds up melt rates even in years with relatively low dust deposition.

Dust is very effective at speeding up melt because it’s most frequently deposited in the spring , when days are getting longer and sun more intense.
