Whether during past climate stages or into a progressively warming world, changes in
precipitation constitute a key component of climatic change. Quantitative proxies for palaeo …

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 …

This third edition of Reconstructing Quaternary Environments has been completely revised
and updated to provide a new account of the history and scale of environmental changes …

Dust storms, produced by the removal of surface materials from the world's drylands, are a

Desert dust simulations generated by the National Center for Atmospheric Research's
Community Climate System Model for the current climate are shown to be consistent with …

The deposition of aeolian, or windblown, dust is widely recognized as an important physical
and chemical flux to ecosystems. Dust deposition adds exogenous mineral and organic …

Asian dust storms have long been a major environmental concern in China, affecting the
