The prevailing mid-latitude westerly winds, known as the westerlies, are a fundamental
component of the climate system because they have a crucial role in driving surface ocean …

Abstract Purpose of Review Natural archives are imprinted with signs of the past variability
of some aerosol species in connection to major climate changes. In certain cases, it is …

Airborne mineral dust is sensitive to climatic changes, but its response to orbital forcing is
still not fully understood. Here, we present a reconstruction of dust input to the Subarctic …

Abstract 230Th normalization is a valuable paleoceanographic tool for reconstructing high‐
resolution sediment fluxes during the late Pleistocene (last~ 500,000 years). As its …

Mineral dust plays an important role in the climate system by interacting with radiation,
clouds, and biogeochemical cycles. In addition, natural archives show that the dust cycle …

Quantifying variability in, and identifying the mechanisms behind, East Asian dust production
and transport across the last several million years is essential for constraining future dust …

The aeolian deposits in the North Pacific Ocean (NPO) serve as important archives for the
surface processes in the arid Asian interior. Aeolian flux, which is usually based on the …

In order to map the modern distribution of diatoms and to establish a reliable reference data
set for paleoenvironmental reconstruction in the northern North Pacific, a new data set …

Exposure to radionuclide thorium (Th) has generated widespread public concerns, mainly
because of its radiological effects on human health. Activity levels of airborne 232 Th in total …

We present a new high‐resolution multiproxy data set of Sr‐Nd isotopes, rare earth element,
soluble iron, and total organic carbon data from International Marine Global Change Study …
