High‐latitude dust in the Earth system
Natural dust is often associated with hot, subtropical deserts, but significant dust events have
been reported from cold, high latitudes. This review synthesizes current understanding of …

The influence of hydrology on the dynamics of land-terminating sectors of the Greenland ice sheet
Coupling between runoff, hydrology, basal motion, and mass loss (“hydrology-dynamics”) is
a critical component of the Greenland Ice Sheet system. Despite considerable research …

Preferential dust sources: A geomorphological classification designed for use in global dust‐cycle models
We present a simple theoretical land‐surface classification that can be used to determine
the location and temporal behavior of preferential sources of terrestrial dust emissions. The …
