Paleoenvironmental reconstructions on a (supra-) regional scale have gained attention in
Quaternary sciences during the last decades. In terrestrial realms, loess deposits and …

We use the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) sensor on the Nimbus 7 satellite to
map the global distribution of major atmospheric dust sources with the goal of identifying …

It is more than half a century since the publication of RA Bagnold's classic book The physics
of blown sand and desert dunes, and it is a tribute to the quality of Bagnold's work that many …

The purpose of developing an integrated wind-erosion modelling system (IWEMS) is to
produce quantitative predictions of wind erosion on scales from local to global. The system …

Aeolian Dust and Dust Deposits explores the entrainment, dispersion, and deposition of
aeolian dust and dust deposits, with emphasis on transport and deposition of dust derived …

A brand new edition of the definitive textbook on humankind's impact on the Earth's
environment—now in full color This classic text explores the multitude of impacts that …

The plate tectonics revolution in the earth sciences has provided a valuable new framework
for understanding long-term landform development. This innovative text provides a …

This paper reviews recent work on the role of Saharan dust in environmental change, the
location and strength of source areas, the transport paths of material away from the desert …

Loess can be defined simply as a terrestrial clastic sediment, composed predominantly of silt-
size particles, which is formed essentially by the accumulation of wind-blown dust. There are …

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 …
