Abstract:

Of numerous aeolian studies around the world, few have been dedicated to dust trapping in the Saharan regions and none is known in Libya. This research aims to explore the extent of dust activities in the western part of Libya, the main factors that influence dust entrainment and deposition, the likely regional emission sources transporting aerosol to this part of the country and ultimately to establish base line information in space and time based on a study area larger than the size of the UK. Dust trapping was carried out at thirty sites on a monthly basis starting from the beginning June 2

Abstract:

Variable erodibility (surface characteristics) and erosivity factors (meteorological conditions) result in dust emission dynamics being complex in both space and time. Accounting for localscale surface variability is critical to our understanding of dust emitting processes. This study identifies mineral dust using remote sensing, establishes emission thresholds through field measurements and identifies particle chemistry for major dust sources in the Central Namib Desert. Examining over 2000 Landsat images over a period from 1972 to 2016, identified 40 days of visually detectable dust, origina

Abstract:

Wind erosion and associated dust emissions play a fundamental role in many ecological processes, yet most ecological studies do not explicitly consider dust-driven processes despite the growing body of evidence suggesting that wind erosion is a key driver of land surface dynamics and many other environmentally relevant processes such as desertification. This study provides explicit support for a pervasive underlying but untested desertification hypothesis by showing that at the vegetation patch scale shrubs are significantly more efficient at capturing wind-blown sediment and other resources

Major and trace metal loading to mountains in the western US depends on dust sources, intensity of storms and their availability for transport during snowmelt and runoff. Previous work has been conducted on dust production, composition, and its affect on solar radiation and timing of snow melt. This study was conducted to 1) examine temporal and spatial variability in dust chemistry; 2) evaluate form and availability of major and trace elements in dust; and 3) identify potential dust sources affecting mountains in Utah and Nevada.

Abstract:

The microbial community dominates biogeochemical cycling of the ocean, affecting global climate. The impact of physical disturbance of near surface microbial populations was studied in the northeastern tropical and subtropical Atlantic Ocean. This region lies beneath easterly trade winds, resulting in strong perturbations in terms of wind driven mixing and Aeolian dust deposition. Firstly, the region’s surface water bacterioplankton community was compared with adjacent regions in terms of metabolic activity, by measuring the uptake rates of radioactively labelled amino acids (3H-leucine and 35

Abstract:

In the past decade there has been a call for integrated studies that examine the interaction of fluvial and aeolian processes (Belnap et al., 2011; Bullard and Livingstone, 2002). In this study, we examined the role of land-use, weather, and soil type on the flux of aeolian material into dry washes on the Colorado Plateau in central Utah, USA, and western Colorado, USA. Our goal was to quantify the impact of individual deposition and erosion events by correlating weather and land-use data with a combination of measurement methods including dust collection via dust traps, GPS surveying, and cl

Besides meteorological conditions, soil moisture is also one of the impact factors for the occurrence of dust. Bare lands are generally the sourc

Abstract:

Magnetic techniques have been used widely in environmental studies for the past few decades. Environmental magnetism typically involves conventional room temperature measurements of bulk magnetic parameters and more advanced component-specific magnetic approaches. Conventional bulk parameters can provide continuous records of magnetic mineral concentration and/or particle size variations in sediments, respectively. However, such parameters are not necessarily well suited to identifying magnetic components within individual magnetic mineral assemblages. More advanced techniques, such as first-o

The use of bucket deposit gauges in areas where predominant wind speeds are greater than 2 m.s-1, has yielded very poor collection efficiency (typical recoveries being < 20%).

Abstract:

Atmospheric dust deposition (aeolian deposition) is thought to be an important source of biolimiting trace elements to the Southern Ocean (SO). Aluminium (Al) has been established as a proxy for dust deposition due to its limited role biologically, short residence times in the surface ocean and supply mechanisms to the open ocean that are typically dominated by atmospheric delivery of dust. Prior to this study, Al distributions within Australian sector of the SO had not been investigated thoroughly and atmospheric dust deposition was poorly constrained by field observations.
