Mineral dust particles suspended in the atmosphere span more than three orders of
magnitude in diameter, from< 0.1 µm to more than 100 µm. This wide size range makes dust …

Mineral dust aerosols impact the energy budget of Earth through interactions with radiation,
clouds, atmospheric chemistry, the cryosphere and biogeochemistry. In this Review, we …

It is essential to understand the factors driving the recent decline of dust activity in East Asia
for future dust projections. Using a physically-based dust emission model, here we show that …

Even though desert dust is the most abundant aerosol by mass in Earth's atmosphere, the
relative contributions of the world's major source regions to the global dust cycle remain …

The occurrence of dust storms in Iran has been a source of interest for centuries, but their
study has increased dramatically over the last two decades. This paper reviews recent work …

The transport of sand and dust by wind is a potent erosional force, creates sand dunes and
ripples, and loads the atmosphere with suspended dust aerosols. This paper presents an …

Airborne particulate matter (PM) that is a heterogeneous mixture of particles with a variety of
chemical components and physical features acts as a potential risk to human health. The …

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 …

Contaminants can be transported rapidly and over relatively long distances by atmospheric
dust and aerosol relative to other media such as water, soil and biota; yet few studies have …

MOXIE is a technology demonstration that addresses the Mars 2020 (Perseverance)
objective of preparing for future human exploration by demonstrating In Situ Resource …
