Donarummo, J., Ram, M. and Stoermer, E.F. (2003). Possible deposit of soil dust from the 1930's U.S. dust bowl identified in Greenland ice. Geophysical Research Letters 30: doi: 10.1029/2002GL016641. issn: 0094-8276.

We have identified a dust storm deposit in the GISP2 ice core that most likely originated from the Great Plains region of the United States during the 1930's 'Dust Bowl' era. These results indicate that the Central U.S. can be a significant source of dust to the Greenland ice sheet, especially when the source area is affected by intense drought conditions.
