AGU Advances is a cross-disciplinary, open access journal publishing full length, high-impact research articles across all of the Earth and space sciences.

Today is International Day of Combating Sand and Dust Storms. Dust is not just small particles that blow in the wind. It shapes the Earth's climate, clouds, snowmelt, and ecosystems. Grant et al. used the visible to thermal infrared (VTIR) data to detect dust minerals. #AGUPubs
