The figure shows the modern, simplified dust-storm tracks (yellow arrows), throughout the Mu Us (MD), Tengger (TD) and Badan Jaran (BDJ) deserts, the hypothetical ‘glacial’ dust-storm track (green arrows), throughout the Qaidam Basin10, the provenance regions for the Eocene dust (coloured ellipses) and the samples used in this study (description, location and references are provided in Supplementary Data 1).
