Thank you Phys.org for this April 7 2025 story highlighting some of the Cluster's work.
"Airborne dust pollution is a growing problem for residents of Utah and other Western states, especially with the exposed lakebed of Great Salt Lake potentially becoming more hazardous as the lake dries. "

Scientists puzzled by Earth's 'heartbeat' that causes slight tremors every 26 seconds
All explanations including ocean waves, volcanoes, and fractured sediments have been ruled out, leaving the mystery behind seismic tremors every 26 seconds unsolved.

#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.
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.

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.
