A B S T R A C T                                                                                                                        This research concerns the transport of mineral dust from the                   arid regions of Asia to the open North Pacific Ocean over the                   last 18,000 years.  New analysis will be carried out on selected                deep sea cores to improve the resolution and the coverage of the                data.  Meteorological models of transport will be used to assess                the variation with time of the latitudinal distribution of                      mineral dust transport and deposition, the likely variation in                  the source areas, and the speed of transport.  These                            calculations will be based upon climatological fields simulated                 by NCAR's Community Climate Model obtained under the COHMAP                     project.  The transport results will be compared with                           sedimentological results on the latitudinal distribution of the                 minerology, grain size distribution and mass accumulation rates                 over the past 18,000 years.  Together, the climatological and                   sedimentological research will allow an assessment of the                       capability of transport models and refine our understanding of                  climate variations deduced from geological evidence.
