Summary

"This volume brings together reviews and specific-topic papers on the following aspects of Saharan dust transport to the Mediterranean Sea: (i) the modelling of Saharan dust transport (ii) the chemistry and mineralogy of the dusts and their effect on precipitation (iii) the contribution of the dusts to marine sedimentation, (iv) the aerobiology of the dusts, and (v) climatic implications of Saharan dust transport. The volume is aimed at students and researchers with an interest in the climate, biochemistry and geology of the Mediterranean Sea."--Jacket.
