Dust cycle: An emerging core theme in Earth system science
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 …

Global‐scale attribution of anthropogenic and natural dust sources and their emission rates based on MODIS Deep Blue aerosol products
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 …
