Abstract

The atmospheric dust is one of the most important factors in studying the global climate changes. Its effects include the scatter and reflect of solar insulation, the supply to the iron fertilizer to ocean, and its restrain to rain. The insoluble microparticle in ice cores is a direct proxy for atmospheric dust. Many researches have been carried out for microparticles in ice cores, including concentration, flux, size distribution, composition, and its application in dating. In this paper, the main progresses in ice core microparticle studies in the past decades are introduced. The isotope composition of microparticles, such as ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr, ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb, and ε_Nd, along with REE feature and mineralogy, are used to discern the different potential source areas. It is interesting that the dust in Greenland ice sheet comes from Central Asia arid and semiarid areas, especially the Taklimakan Desert. The seasonal change of dust record can be used to date ice core, which is very useful for those thinner annual layers in the lower part of ice core. In most ice cores, high dust concentration emerged during the Last Glacial Maximum, except the Guliya and Sajama. The expansion of dust source area, weak hydrological cycle, stronger wind, change in atmosphere circulation, and increase in latitudinal temperature gradient are the potential causes for high atmospheric dust in LGM.
