North America Is Dripping from Below, Geoscientists Discover
https://www.jsg.utexas.edu/news/2025/04/north-america-is-dripping-from-below-geoscientists-discover/
#EGU25 starts this month!
We're looking forward to the whole programme, but this even on May 1 is among the most important events for us. Here we'll meet, talk with, and work to chart the future of #CriticalZone #science around the world.
Everything we've learned as the Dust Cluster we will put to use in this next phase of Critical Zone #research.
A story about us!
"A study team led by [University of #Utah] atmospheric scientist Kevin Perry and @jmunroe a geology professor at Middlebury College, considered Earth’s “Critical Zone,” a near-surface layer where organisms interact with rock, air, soils and water. Dust processes such as deposition, erosion and transport influence the Critical Zone."

Job - Alert 
DATA SCIENTIST (F/M/D)
Deadline: 2025-04-27
Location: Germany, Jena, Thüringen
The Collectors Tour takes you to passive dust collectors stationed in an array throughout the Southwestern United States. Here at Dust 5, Cluster member Jeff Munroe describes how soil that supports life in an alpine landscape sorts itself from the rocks all around it, creating almost an oasis of fertility in a sea of rocks.

#CitizenScience keeping an eye on the source-to-sink movement of dust around #SaltLakeCity.
"Give the overall flow yesterday, the dust in the Salt Lake Valley was likely from sources to the south and the southwest given the flow direction and not from the exposed Great Salt Lake bed."

We are so excited to share our short film 'a remarkable convergence' with the world as part of the @EuroGeosciences #EGU25 Geocinema.
Join Cluster member @jmunroe for the screening Thursday 1 May, 19:40-19:50 CEST in room E1.

One Sun. Two perspectives:
In the void of space 
, sunlight shines pure and white. On Earth 
, our atmosphere scatters shorter wavelengths, leaving vibrant reds and oranges to paint the horizon at sunrise.

Two views, one source—each shaped by where we stand.
Extremely high resolution paleomagnetic record (almost 1cm/yr deposition rate!) from the South China Sea shows evidence of rapid geomagnetic excursions between 14.5 and 11.5 kyr. This is much more recent than the Mono Lake and Laschamp excursions at 30-40 kyr.
