Eolian (windblown) sandstone deposits can form excellent oil and gas reservoirs. Wind is a very effective agent for sorting sand-size, silt-size, and clay-size grains, both vertically within the air ...

This is an electron microscope image of a dust particle rounded by eolian transport. It originated in the Sahara desert and was found in 7.2 million year old sediments in Greece. Disclaimer ...

Molar absorption coefficients at 250 and 280 nm in the lake were highly correlated with those in organic aerosol deposition, originating mainly from Saharan dust, and suggest that absorption in clear ...

Or billions of nanosensors distributed over forests and other areas with fire hazards to detect a fire at its very beginning. Or envision programmable smart dust that triggers an alarm signal when ...

Eolian: Processes related to the activity of the winds. External and internal forcings: External forcing mechanisms involve agents acting from outside the climate system (e.g., Milankovitch cycles).

A multi-institutional team of climatologists, meteorologists and Earth scientists has found evidence that dropping diamond dust from an airplane into the atmosphere could cool the planet.

But do air purifiers help with dust? And more specifically, can they reduce the symptoms of dust mite allergies? In short: yes, but only slightly. Dust mites are microscopic arachnids that ...

Some of the most intimidating sights in nature are rolling dark clouds of sand and dust that engulf everything in their path, a phenomenon that turns day into night and wreaks havoc everywhere ...

I was born in what’s now the center — what was considered the center of the Panhandle, the Dust Bowl. I feel like that just being raised in that time period, I have a good history to remember.

So how can you make sure you're spending your hard-earned money on a model that justifies the price tag? CHOICE's appliance experts tested 39 air purifiers in our labs, assessing their ability to ...
