This issue of PAGES Magazine addresses mineral dust, giving an overview of the science the ADOM working group has focused on in recent years. It covers both modern developments and paleo archives and highlights challenges to state-of-the art dust research. It also outlines how PAGES' new dust working group, DICE (Dust Impact on Climate and Environment), plans to build on ADOM's work.
