Quantification of iron-rich volcanogenic dust emissions and deposition over the ocean from Icelandic dust sources

Iceland has extremely active dust sources that result in large-scale emissions and deposition on land and at sea. The dust has a volcanogenic origin of basaltic composition with about 10% Fe content. We used two independent methods to quantify dust emission from Iceland and dust deposition at sea. F...
