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 …

Mineral dust aerosols, the tiny soil particles suspended in the atmosphere, have a key role in
the atmospheric radiation budget and hydrological cycle through their radiative and cloud …

Palaeo-dust records in sediments and ice cores show that wind-borne mineral aerosol
('dust') is strongly linked with climate state. During glacial climate stages, for example, the …

Dust storms, produced by the removal of surface materials from the world's drylands, are a
vital component of the environment. This is because of their role in biogeochemical cycling …

A model‐based investigation of the transport, distribution and deposition of mineral dust in
the Southern Hemisphere (SH) is performed by using the GFDL Atmospheric Model (AM2) …

Over the past 10 to 15 years there has been a rising interest in interactions between aeolian
and fluvial processes from geomorphologists and sedimentologists. This reflects recognition …

The recent upsurge in research attention to aeolian dust has shown that dust transport
systems operate on very large spatial and temporal scales, and involve much larger …

The Southern Hemisphere westerlies in the southwest Pacific are known to have waxed and
waned numerous times during the last two glacial cycles, though even semi-continuous …

The HYbrid Single-Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory model (HYSPLIT_4) is used to
create seasonal climatologies (1980–2000) of air parcel trajectories from the Southern …

Dust raising and transport are common and important processes in Australia today. The
aridity of the Australian continent and high climatic variability result in widespread dust …
