Records from continental ice sheets, loess, lacustrine, and deep-sea sediments show that the timing of dust deposition and changes in dispersal patterns relate to both long-term and abrupt changes in the global hydrological cycle. In this session we would like to investigate the potential role of aeolian dust in global environmental change (past, modern, future), address different approaches to study aeolian deposits, and discuss their palaeoclimate significance. All contributions are welcome, and we especially welcome contributions from the palaeoceanographic community, of those working with dust proxies! We look forward to receiving your abstract. Preliminary List of Solicited Speakers So far we got the commitment of Beatrice Marticorena (Universités Paris) and Ryuji Tada (University of Tokyo, Japan) to give sollicited talks on their work on dust deposition in the Mediterranean and western Pacific region, respectively.
