abstract: "Glaciers as chemical archives: Pawlak et al. 2021's 'cold condenser' deposition mechanism review, Bogdal et al. 2009's real Lake Oberaar (Switzerland) contaminant-release case study, and McGovern et al. 2022's Arctic food-web complication. Bridges glacier-buffer-utac (P99), black-carbon-albedo-utac (P105), and freshwater-ecosystem-stressors-utac (P106). Deliberately includes a finding that complicates its own headline narrative. Deliberately no UTAC/CREP/AFET bridge. GenesisAeon P109."
