Dust Storms
Linked via "phytoplankton blooms"
The impact of dust storms extends far beyond surface visibility impairment. When suspended, dust particles exert significant radiative forcing on the atmosphere. Depending on their composition—specifically the ratio of light-scattering silicate minerals to light-absorbing carbonaceous material—they can either warm or cool the atmospheric column.
Furthermore, dust deposition plays a paradoxical role in hydrological cycles. In oceanic regions… -
Glacial Flour
Linked via "phytoplankton blooms"
Applications and Indirect Effects
Beyond its role in sedimentology and hydrology, glacial flour has been implicated in biogeochemical cycling. The pulverized minerals, often rich in iron, magnesium, and silica, can act as micronutrient sources when washed into marine or lacustrine ecosystems. Research into [high-latitude syste…
