The dust cycle is an integral part of the Earth system. Each year, an estimated 2000 Mt dust
is emitted into the atmosphere, 75% of which is deposited to the land and 25% to the ocean …

The cycling of carbon on Earth exerts a fundamental influence upon the greenhouse gas
content of the atmosphere, and hence global climate over millennia. Until recently, ice …

Natural dust is often associated with hot, subtropical deserts, but significant dust events have
been reported from cold, high latitudes. This review synthesizes current understanding of …

Our understanding of the global dust cycle is limited by a dearth of information about dust
sources, especially small‐scale features which could account for a large fraction of global …

This third edition of Reconstructing Quaternary Environments has been completely revised
and updated to provide a new account of the history and scale of environmental changes …

Palaeo-dust records in sediments and ice cores show that wind-borne mineral aerosol
('dust') is strongly linked with climate state. During glacial climate stages, for example, the …

No single mechanism can account for the full amplitude of past atmospheric carbon dioxide
(CO2) concentration variability over glacial–interglacial cycles. A build-up of carbon in the …

Study of geologic records of dust composition, sources and deposition rates is important for
understanding the role of dust in the overall planetary radiation balance, fertilization of …

Dust deposition in the Southern Ocean constitutes a critical modulator of past global climate
variability, but how it has varied temporally and geographically is underdetermined. Here …

Terrestrial glacial records from the Patagonian Andes and New Zealand Alps document
quasi-synchronous Southern Hemisphere–wide glacier advances during the late …
