Summary

Abstract: The records of dust accumulation rates included here represent the second
version of the DIRTMAP data base, including dust information from ice cores,
marine sediments, marine sediment traps, and loess sediments. Mass
accumulation rates are estimated in g/m2/yr, and a LGM/Holocene ratio are
provided where possible. All data were compiled from the literature.
