This project studies the environmental impact of Saharan dust transported across the Atlantic Ocean. It aims to quantify dust's effects on climate and marine ecosystems through a series of ocean moorings and dust collection.
Massive amounts of dust (~1 Billion Ton) are blown from the Sahara into and over the Atlantic Ocean every year.
This dust strongly alters the atmosphere through blocking incoming solar radiation [cooling the atmosphere] and trapping outgoing heat that was reflected at the earth’s surface [warming the atmosphere].
In addition, aerosols carry huge amounts of metals and nutrients that can boost marine life, but also vast amounts of microbes, spores, and pathogens that are harmful for both marine- a…
