Production, transport and deposition of aeolian dust from land to sea closely interact with regional environment and global climate. This Special Issue addresses transport of aeolian dust from the Asian inland to the Loess Plateau and North Pacific Ocean and their possible links to oceanic ecosystem, global climate and even human activity, over various timescales. The papers in this volume are multidisciplinary in nature and include sedimentology, mineralogy, geochemistry, environmental magnetism and climate modelling on multi-timescales from interannual, glacial–interglacial to tectonic timescales. Based on modern observation, geological records and modelling, this Special Issue offers new insights especially into aeolian provenance, dynamics controls on dust production, a novel marine aeolian proxy, as well as long-term aeolian input to the marginal basins of NE Asia and its influence on oceanic productivity. This issue provides a good example for future comprehensive studies of source-to-sink processes of Asian dust from land to sea.

从陆地到海洋的亚洲尘埃：从现代观测到地质记录的过程、历史和影响

风沙从陆地到海洋的产生、运输和沉积与区域环境和全球气候密切相关。本期特刊探讨了从亚洲内陆到黄土高原和北太平洋的风沙尘埃运输，以及它们在不同时间尺度上与海洋生态系统、全球气候甚至人类活动的可能联系。本卷中的论文在本质上是多学科的，包括沉积学、矿物学、地球化学、环境磁学和气候建模，涵盖从年际、冰川间冰期到构造时间尺度的多时间尺度。基于现代观测、地质记录和建模，本期特刊提供了新的见解，尤其是对风成物源、粉尘产生的动力学控制、新型海洋风成代理、以及对东北亚边缘盆地的长期风沙输入及其对海洋生产力的影响。本期为今后综合研究亚洲沙尘从陆到海的源汇过程提供了很好的范例。
