Caption: Dust storms, such as those reflected in these satellite images of dust blown into the atmosphere over Asia from arid regions of China, have left a rich geological record in the form of loess deposits and ocean sediments. These newly-mined geological records, together with a sophisticated computer model of climate, are providing scientists with a new assessment of how the uplift of the Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau affect climate over a broad swath of the world.
