Abstract
Despite the multiple impacts of mineral aerosols on global and regional climate and the primary climatic control on atmospheric dust fluxes, dust-climate feedbacks remain poorly constrained, particularly at submillennial time scales, hampering regional and global climate models. We reconstruct Saharan dust fluxes over Western Europe for the last 5000 years, by means of speleothem strontium isotope ratios (
87Sr/
86Sr) and karst modeling. The record reveals a long-term increase in Saharan dust flux, consistent with progressive North Africa aridification and strengthening of Northern Hemisphere latitudinal climatic gradients. On shorter, centennial to millennial scales, it shows broad variations in dust fluxes, in tune with North Atlantic ocean-atmosphere patterns and with monsoonal variability. Dust fluxes rapidly increase before (and peaks at) Late Holocene multidecadal- to century-scale cold climate events, including those around 4200, 2800, and 1500 years before present

Denmark’s Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig sprinted to victory on the third stage of the Vuelta a Burgos Feminas as New Zealand’s Niamh Fisher-Black moved into the overall race lead.
The penultimate stage of the race saw riders tackle a 115-kilometre route from Medina de Pomar to Ojo Guareña.
A series of breakaway moves were attempted throughout the stage, with Uttrup Ludwig and Fisher-Black involved in a four-rider attack with 22 kilometres of racing remaining.
The quartet reached the top of the Alto de Las Hoyas climb clear of the peloton, with Fisher-Black first to crest the summit to take the lead in the mountains classification.
