Mid-Pleistocene links between Asian dust, Tibetan glaciers, and Pacific iron fertilization. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2023 Significance The amount of dust blown from Asian deserts is thought to fertilize iron-deficient areas of the North Pacific Ocean, increasing productivity and subsequent drawdown of atmospheric CO2.

Northwestern Pacific tropical cyclone activity enhanced by increased Asian dust emissions during the Little Ice Age [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2022 Here, the authors show that enhanced tropical cyclone activity was synchronized with increased Asian dust emissions during the Little Ice Age, implying a mechanism linking tropical cyclone climatology to Asian dust levels, at 100 to 1000 year scales.

Asian dust-storm activity dominated by Chinese dynasty changes since 2000 BP. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2020 The Asian monsoon (AM) played an important role in the dynastic history of China, yet it remains unknown whether AM-mediated shifts in Chinese societies affect earth surface processes to the point of exceeding natural variability. Here, we present a dust

Mineralogy and geochemistry of Asian dust: dependence on migration path, fractionation, and reactions with polluted air [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2020 Mineralogical and geochemical data are essential for estimating the effects of long-range transport of Asian dust on the atmosphere, biosphere, cryosphere, and pedosphere. However, consistent long-term data sets of dust samples are rare.

Climatology of Asian dust activation and transport potential based on MISR satellite observations and trajectory analysis [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2019 Asian dust, primarily emitted from the Taklamakan and Gobi deserts, has been reported to reach remote destinations, such as North America. However, the relative contribution of the Taklamakan and Gobi deserts to dust loadings through long-range transport
