Crustal dust in the atmosphere impacts Earth's radiative forcing directly by modifying the
radiation budget and affecting cloud nucleation and optical properties, and indirectly through …

The size distribution of insoluble microparticles (dust) in the particle size interval 0.4–6.0 μm
radius has been measured in more than 1400 samples from the Greenland Ice Core Project …

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy is developed for the detection of aerosols in
ambient air, including quantitative mass concentration measurements and size/composition …

We review the approaches for estimating biomass burning from ice-cores and consider the
challenges and assumptions in their application. In particular, we consider the potential of …

Atmospheric deposition of mineral dust supplies much of the essential nutrient iron to the
ocean. Presumably only the readily soluble fraction is available for biological uptake …

To evaluate the deposition and solubility of aerosol iron in the Antarctic seasonal sea ice
zone (SSIZ), iron was measured in snow samples collected from three areas in the SSIZ …

Remote sensing observations suggest Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) albedo has declined
since 2001, even in the dry snow zone. We seek to explain the apparent dry snow albedo …

The concentration of dissolved Al in surface waters from various oceanic regimes is used in
a simple model to calculate the annual amount of dust deposited to the surface ocean …

Environmental Change: Key Issues and Alternative Approaches describes and explains the
significance of past and contemporary environmental and climatic change. It outlines the …

We demonstrate the use of levoglucosan (1, 6-anhydro-β-d-glucopyranose) as a source-
specific proxy of past fire activity in snow pits and ice cores. Levoglucosan is unambiguously …
