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 …

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 …

Abstract Sand and Dust Storms (SDS) are a natural phenomenon with important impacts on
ecosystems and human society. SDS hotspots are mostly located in drylands, however their …

Sand and dust storms (SDS) play an integral role in the Earth system but they also present a
range of hazards to the environmental and economic sustainability of human society. These …

The aim of this research was to develop a method to produce a Dust Source Susceptibility
Map (DSSM). For this purpose, we applied remote sensing and statistical-based machine …

Data from satellite instruments provide estimates of gas and particle levels relevant to
human health, even pollutants invisible to the human eye. However, the successful …

Risks associated with dust hazards are often underappreciated, a gap between the
knowledge pool and public awareness that can be costly for impacted communities. This …

The US Southwest is projected to experience increasing aridity due to climate change. We
quantify the resulting impacts on ambient dust levels and public health using methods …

Dust storms are considered as one of the most important environmental challenges in the
West Asia region. In addition to the harmful impacts of dust storms on human health, they …

We investigate the present-day sensitivity of fine dust levels in the US Southwest to regional
drought conditions and use the observed relationships to assess future changes in fine dust …
