Abstract:

Sand and dust storms are hazardous to the environment and have a significant role in desertification. Under the influence of climate change and human activities, dust storms and aeolian processes have been common phenomena in the Southern Balkash deserts in Kazakhstan, Central Asia. However, knowledge gaps on spatial and temporal characteristics of dust storms and aeolian process in the Southern Balkash deserts still exist. Therefore, in present study, meteorological observations and numerous cartographic materials were used to identify the powerful sources with the highest frequency of dust s

A response in phytoplankton standing stock immediately following dust deposition from this event was found in the area of maximal dust deposition, as defined by a previous dust transport modelling analysis.

From the holistic perspective, a new dynamic model is proposed in this research to investigate the interaction between vegetation growth and aeolian dust deposition. Three cases of equilibrium distribution can be obtained and the stability of interior equilibriums is determined. When there is a stable interior equilibrium, a critical curve exists and separates the coexistent area where vegetation can survive in the environment of aeolian dust deposition, from the other area where vegetation is to be excluded. Simulation analysis further reveals the variation of the critical curve with the para

Abstract. Desert dust is an important atmospheric aerosol that affects the Earth's climate, biogeochemistry, and air quality. However, current Earth system models (ESMs) struggle to accurately capture the impact of dust on the Earth's climate and ecosystems, in part because these models lack several essential aeolian processes that couple dust with climate and land surface processes. In this study, we address this issue by implementing several new parameterizations of aeolian processes detailed in our companion paper in the Community Earth System Model version 2 (CESM2).

Abstract. Aeolian erosion is a serious environmental threat that damages soils. Dust storms are one example of the consequences of aeolian erosion in dry and semi-arid areas across the world. In this regard, soil surface roughness is an important parameter for monitoring climate changes on the Earth and modelling aeolian erosion. Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) systems are valuable resources for estimating soil surface roughness. In arid soils, SAR backscatter is sensitive to the soil surface roughness at higher frequencies and higher incident angles. Based on these facts and lack of studies in

Abstract In this study, a coastal research site north of Kuwait Bay faces sand encroachment, floods, and wave erosion. The plantation project’s infrastructure was improved by fencing 1.2 km2 with barbed wire. The heavily deteriorated environment has coppice dunes of Nitraria retusa and Lycium shawii around single, double, or triple plants. To manage mobile sand and dust and protect the research centre, 21,500 Nitraria and Lycium were planted and irrigated with brackish water (around 7000 TDS). In order to aerodynamically shift and/or trap mobile aeolian sediments, the vegetation was planted in

Abstract:

A multi-proxy record of Holocene and late-Pleistocene aeolian mineral dust is reconstructed using a combination of geochemical (trace elements), mineralogical and grain-size analyses on cores from the Hani peatland in north-eastern (NE) China. The dust record displays a sharp increase in dust deposition during the late Holocene in comparison to the rest of the Holocene. This trend is in line with climatic records from the Chinese dust source regions and their downwind areas, which generally show an increase in aridity and aeolian activity during the late Holocene.

Abstract:

Dust and atmospheric particles have been described in southwestern Iran primarily in terms of load, concentration and transport. The passive deposition, however, has been discussed inadequately. Therefore, the relationships between different climate zones in southwestern Iran and dust deposition rates were quantified between 2014 and 2017 using both space- (second modern-era retrospective analysis for research and applications, version 2 reanalysis model) and ground-based (eolian ground deposition rate) tools. In addition, the surface meteorological records, including the wind patterns favorin

Abstract:

Ferdinand von Richthofen (1833–1905), a great German geographer and geologist, was well known for his loess research in China. Here we reexamine the background of Richthofen’s loess research and review his contributions and limitations according to the existing literature. An important historical background of Richthofen’s loess research was that foreigners have been authorized to travel in the interior of China since the 1860s as a result of the Treaties of Tientsin. Richthofen made seven comprehensive scientific explorations in China in 1868–1872, whereas loess research was just one of his t

Abstract:

The Souss Basin is a dryland environment featuring soil, surface and climatic conditions enhancing processes of wind erosion and mineral and organic dust emissions while subject to frequent grazing, tillage and driving. The fine-grained compacted surfaces are covered by physical and biological crusts and stone cover and are sparsely vegetated by open argan woodland and patchily distributed bushes. Wind-tunnel experiments and soil sampling were conducted on the deeply incised alluvial fans originating from High Atlas and Anti-Atlas mountains to investigate the dryland ecosystem, including the o

Based on cryoconite and snow dust samples collected from various glaciers and snowpacks in northeast Tibetan Plateau (NETP) margin and surrounding areas, this study investigated the rare earth element (REE) and trace element composition of long-range transported (LRT) dust in glacier surfaces at the NETP locations, in order to trace its source areas and the transport over the region. Results showed that the deposited dust in NETP mainly originated from the adjacent Qaidam Basin, Badain Jaran and Taklimakan Deserts based on the similarity in (La/Sm)N, Th/YbN and Nb/YbN ratios.

Abstract. Land degradation is a cause of many social, economic, and environmental problems. Therefore identification and monitoring of high-risk areas for land degradation are necessary. Despite the importance of land degradation due to wind and water erosion in some areas of the world, the combined study of both types of erosion in the same area receives relatively little attention. The present study aims to create a land degradation map in terms of soil erosion caused by wind and water erosion of semi-dry land.

Abstract. Constraining dust models to understand and quantify the effect of dust upon climate and ecosystems requires comprehensive analyses of the physiochemical properties of dust-emitting sediments in arid regions. Building upon previous studies in the Moroccan Sahara and Iceland, we analyse a diverse set of crusts and aeolian ripples (n=55) from various potential dust-emitting basins within the Mojave Desert, California, USA. Our focus is on characterizing the particle size distribution (PSD), mineralogy, aggregation/cohesion state, and Fe mode of occurrence. Our results show differences i

Aeolian dust has widespread consequences on health, the environment, and the hydrology over a region. This study investigated the performance of various machine-learning (ML) models including Multiple Linear Regression (MLR), Support Vector Machines (SVM), Random Forests (RF), Bayesian Regularized Neural Networks (BRNN), and Cubist (Cu) in predicting dust emissions over the Southwestern United States (US). Six meteorological and climatic variables (precipitation, air temperature, wind speed, ENSO, PDO, and NAO) were used to predict dust emissions. The correlation (r) and root mean square error

AbstractIt has been suggested that dust generation was closely linked to the development of global ice sheets and/or cooling. This feature has allowed Asian dust to be a potential chronostratigraphic tool in North Pacific Ocean (NPO) sediments. The orbital-scale age control in NPO sediments is usually established by adjusting the benthic-foraminiferal δ18O to the global δ18O stack (LR04). However, it would become difficult if the sediments did not contain enough foraminifera.
