The global cycle of desert dust aerosols responds strongly to climate and human
perturbations, and, in turn, impacts climate and biogeochemistry. Here we focus on desert …

Sea‐salt and mineral dust records as represented by Na+ and Ca2+ concentrations,
respectively, in Greenland and Antarctic ice cores show pronounced glacial/interglacial …

Dust storms, produced by the removal of surface materials from the world's drylands, are a
vital component of the environment. This is because of their role in biogeochemical cycling …

Dust can affect the radiative balance of the atmosphere by absorbing or reflecting incoming
solar radiation; it can also be a source of micronutrients, such as iron, to the ocean. It has …

The cause of warming in the Southern Hemisphere during the most recent deglaciation
remains a matter of debate,. Hypotheses for a Northern Hemisphere trigger, through oceanic …

Desert dust simulations generated by the National Center for Atmospheric Research's
Community Climate System Model for the current climate are shown to be consistent with …

Aerosol‐climate interactions constitute one of the major sources of uncertainty in assessing
changes in aerosol forcing in the anthropocene as well as understanding glacial‐interglacial …

Continuous sea salt and mineral dust aerosol records have been studied on the two EPICA
(European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica) deep ice cores. The joint use of these records …

The annual flux of extraterrestrial material on Earth is largely dominated by sub-millimetre
particles. The mass distribution and absolute value of this cosmic dust flux at the Earth's …

We have studied the relationship between the long-term interannual variability in large-scale
meteorology in western North Africa–the largest and most active dust source worldwide–and …
