“Dust modeling since the Last Glacial Maximum" - Dr Fabrice Lambert 
(Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile)

Abstract: Mineral dust aerosols scatter and absorb solar and thermal 
radiation, act as ice and cloud condensation nuclei, darken snowy 
surfaces after deposition, and play an important role in biogeochemical 
cycles both on land and in the ocean. Emitted in deserts and semi-arid 
regions, dust particles are entrained in the atmosphere by surface winds 
and reach the higher levels of the troposphere through ascending air 
currents, from there they can be transported across the globe. Dust 
particles are removed from the air by both dry (gravitational settling) 
and wet (washout through precipitation) deposition processes. Unlike 
well-mixed greenhouse gases, the climatic effects of dust vary 
seasonally and regionally and are not well represented by global 
averages.
Paleoclimate model simulations of dust emissions, load, direct radiative 
effects, and impacts on the carbon cycle through iron fertilization are 
accompanied by a large uncertainty. The large spread in model results 
can mainly be attributed to differences in the representation of dust 
emission and deposition mechanisms, differences in boundary conditions 
(including vegetation), inclusion of glaciogenic (formed by glacier 
abrasion) dust sources, different aerosol size ranges and optical 
properties, and assumptions about dustborne iron solubility and 
bioavailability. In this talk we will go through the lates advances in 
paleodust modeling and the main uncertainties that still impede 
paleoclimatic simulations of atmospheric dust, and how to address some 
of them.

Fabrice Lambert es académico del Instituto de Geografía de la Pontificia 
Universidad Católica de Chile. Doctor en física climática en la 
Universidad de Berna, Suiza, utiliza herramientas estadísticas avanzadas 
para investigar la variabilidad climática anual a milenial del 
hemisferio sur sobre la base de registros de alta resolución 
provenientes de diversos archivos paleoclimáticos. Sus intereses de 
investigación incluyen la evolución espacial y temporal de las 
concentraciones de polvo en la atmósfera durante la última transición 
glacial-interglacial y las estimaciones de forzamiento radiativo del 
polvo y fertilización de hierro del océano durante este intervalo de 
tiempo. Su investigación incluye trabajos de terreno, de laboratorio, y 
de simulaciones con modelos.



"Holocene mineral dust and ash deposition in the Western South Atlantic 
Ocean reconstructed from a Malvinas Island peat record" - Dr. Eleonore 
Resongles (IRD, Bolivia)

Accurate reconstructions of past variations in long-range transport of 
dust and subsequent deposition to the remote Sub-Antarctic and Southern 
Oceans are central to our ability to understand the Earth system 
processes that drive changes of marine productivity and atmospheric 
carbon cycle in this region critical  for the global climate. In this 
talk, I will present a terrestrial record of volcanic ash and mineral 
dust deposition in the western South Atlantic Ocean using a 4 m-long 
peat core sampled in the Malvinas Islands covering the Late Glacial and 
Holocene periods. The main objectives of this study were to identify and 
quantify changes in dust sources and accumulation rates using 
geochemical fingerprinting.

Eléonore Resongles is a researcher at the French National Research 
Institute for Sustainable Development (IRD) at the laboratory 
HydroSciences Montpellier (France). She is currently hosted at the 
Instituto de Investigaciones Químicas (IIQ) at the University Mayor San 
Andres (La Paz, Bolivia). She has a PhD in Environmental Geochemistry 
from the University of Montpellier (France). Her research mainly focuses 
on assessing the impact of anthropogenic activities, in particular 
mining, on the cycling of metals and metalloids in the environment at 
different spatial (local and regional) and temporal scales (i.e. 
present, industrial era, Holocene) in different environmental 
compartments (rivers, atmosphere). She has a special interest in 
reconstructing atmospheric deposition of mineral dust and metal during 
the Holocene using environmental archives .



"Contributions to the study of southern hemisphere Late Pleistocene 
climatic variability through the characterization of South American dust 
sources and the related sedimentary deposits" - Dr Diego Gaiero 
(CICTERRA, Cordoba)

The need to increase knowledge in aspects related to the climatic 
conditions prevailing over the southern hemisphere (SH) during the last 
glacial-interglacial periods, boosted the interest of the scientific 
community to investigate the physicochemical/isotopic characteristics of 
sediments deflated from southern South America (SSA) and to recognize 
them in key sedimentary deposits of the region (e.g., Pampas, Patagonian 
shelf, Southern Ocean; Antarctica). Due to its geographic position, SSA 
represents a key area that could help to unravel some questions related 
to past climatic changes. In particular, the region has the most 
significant loess deposits in the SH and, this proximal aeolian dust 
record witnesses the importance of wind erosion affecting different 
latitudinal and topographic areas in the "arid diagonal" of SSA, and 
could shed light on the past atmospheric circulation over the SH. 
Furthermore, a huge amount of this aeolian material has been 
atmospherically transported to remote areas, taking both essential 
micronutrients to the ocean and a fingerprint representing a particular 
SSA region, useful to trace back the origin of dust in paleo-climatic 
archives recovered from the Southern Ocean and Antarctica. During the 
last 20 years, we gained insight into aspects related to modern/past 
dust dynamics in the region, characterizing its textural, 
chemical/isotopic compositions and, contributing to the interpretation 
of how the atmospheric circulation over the region could have changed 
during the last climatic cycles. In this talk, I present a review of 
these research activities showing the main results obtained by our group 
and pointing out the futures perspectives that could help the 
international scientific community working on this issue to improve the 
state-of-the-art related to the role of the SH in the context of global 
future climate change scenarios.


Diego Gaiero s a full Professor at the University of Córdoba and a 
researcher at CONICET. He obtained a degree in Geology and then a Ph.D. 
degree at the same university. He is interested in low-temperature 
geochemistry processes and present/past atmospheric circulation. Since 
2003 he established a long-term dust monitoring program in southern 
South America. In 2014, he started a new research line dedicated to 
studying Argentinean loess as a geological archive.


¡¡Les esperamos!!
