Data from the DUST^2 Project, collectors DUST-1 through DUST-18, Fall 2022 to Fall 2023

Geochemical (ICP-MS) analyses of mineral dust collected between Fall 2022 and Fall 2023. Dust samplers were emptied in the field by Emmet Norris and processed by Jeff Munroe (Middlebury College). Dust depostional fluxes, colors, and grain size distributions are also presented. Samples were collected as part of the DUST^2 Critical Zone Thematic Cluster to constrain the properties and flux of dust to alpine ecosystem in the southwestern US (Utah and Nevada). Sample remaining after analysis is stored at the Natural History Museum of Utah in Salt Lake City.  To access these samples for further analysis, please contact Mitchell Power ([e-mail]) and with cc to Jeff Munroe ([e-mail]).
