Mineral dust plays a key role in both local and global climates. At high latitudes, atmospheric dust can affect icenuclei formation, and surface dust can reduce the albedo as well as increase subsequent ice melting. As a proxy for past climate, mineral dust is preserved in ice cores, but few studies...
