This paper promotes an understanding of the mineralogical, chemical, and physical
interrelationships of re-suspended mineral dusts collected as grab samples from global dust …

The influence of different sample pretreatment methods on grain size distributions in particle
size analysis has been subject to controversial discussions. Standard sample preparation …

Iron oxide compounds constitute an important component of mineral dust aerosols. Several
previous studies have shown that these minerals are strong absorbers at visible …

The mineralogy and physicochemical features of Saharan dust particles help to identify
source areas and determine their biogeochemical, radiative and health effects, but their …

Atmospheric particulates play a vital role in the transport of potentially toxic metals, being an
important exposure pathways of people to toxic elements, which is faster and can occur in a …

Africa is the most important source of dust in the world today and dust storms from that
continent frequently deposit sediment on the nearby Canary Islands. Many investigators …

Purpose The volume of dust deposition on the soil surface in Moscow is big enough and
make several tens of grams per square meter annually. The role of dust as a soil-forming …

Dust events originate from multiple sources in arid and semi-arid regions, making it difficult
to quantify source contributions. Dust geochemical/mineralogical composition, if the sources …

Both Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and Spinning Enhanced
Visible and InfraRed Imager (SEVIRI) satellite observations suggest that the narrow …

Loess-paleosol sequences (LPS) are sensitive terrestrial archives of past aeolian dynamics
and paleoclimatic changes within the Quaternary. Grain size (GS) analysis is commonly …
