There is large uncertainty about the magnitude of warming and how rainfall patterns will
change in response to any given scenario of future changes in atmospheric composition and …

The dust cycle is an integral part of the Earth system. Each year, an estimated 2000 Mt dust
is emitted into the atmosphere, 75% of which is deposited to the land and 25% to the ocean …

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 …

Atmospheric aerosol particles serve as condensation nuclei for the formation of both, cloud
droplets and atmospheric ice particles. As a result, they exert a substantial influence on the …

The Earth's climate is determined by a number of complex connected physical, chemical and
biological processes occurring in the atmosphere, land and ocean. The radiative properties …

Since iron is an important micronutrient, deposition of iron in mineral aerosols can impact
the carbon cycle and atmospheric CO2. This paper reviews our current understanding of the …

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 …

The need for a better understanding of the role of atmospheric dust in the climate system
and its impact on the environment has led to research of the underlying causes of dust …

Desert dust perturbs climate by directly and indirectly interacting with incoming solar and
outgoing long wave radiation, thereby changing precipitation and temperature, in addition to …

Aerosol‐climate interactions constitute one of the major sources of uncertainty in assessing
changes in aerosol forcing in the anthropocene as well as understanding glacial‐interglacial …
