Mineral dust aerosol is one of the major types of aerosol present in the troposphere. The
molecular level interactions of water vapor with mineral dust are of global significance …

We review the major features of desert dust outbreaks that are relevant to the assessment of
dust impacts upon human health. Our ultimate goal is to provide scientific guidance for the …

The optical properties of airborne mineral dust depend on its mineralogy, size distribution,
and shape, and they might vary between different source regions. To date, large differences …

Decades of aerosol measurements on Barbados have yielded a detailed picture of African
mineral dust transport to the Caribbean Basin that shows a strong seasonal cycle with a …

North Africa is the world's largest source of dust, a large part of which is transported across
the Atlantic to the Caribbean and beyond where it can impact radiation and clouds. Many …

Dust storms are strong winds which lead to particle exposure over extensive areas. These
storms influence air quality on both a local and global scale which lead to both short and …

This article presents a bibliometric analysis and a map** of the intellectual and conceptual
structure of the research conducted on 'Compositional Data'(CoDa) in Social Sciences …

Marine sediments record paleoenvironmental changes over time through variations in major
and trace element concentrations. The main objective of this paper is to review such …

Mineral dust is an important component of the climate system, affecting the radiation
balance, cloud properties, biogeochemical cycles, regional circulation and precipitation, as …

Identifying provenance of aeolian deposits in the mid-latitude deserts of Asia is essential for
understanding formation and changes of Earth surface processes due to palaeoclimatic …
