Dust cycle: An emerging core theme in Earth system science
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 …

Global‐scale attribution of anthropogenic and natural dust sources and their emission rates based on MODIS Deep Blue aerosol products
Our understanding of the global dust cycle is limited by a dearth of information about dust
sources, especially small‐scale features which could account for a large fraction of global …

Global connections between aeolian dust, climate and ocean biogeochemistry at the present day and at the last glacial maximum
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 …

Preferential dust sources: A geomorphological classification designed for use in global dust‐cycle models
We present a simple theoretical land‐surface classification that can be used to determine
the location and temporal behavior of preferential sources of terrestrial dust emissions. The …
