It has been suggested that production, transport, and deposition of dust is influenced by climatic changes on glacial-interglacial timescales. This paper presents a high-resolution record of aeolian dust from the EPICA Dome C ice core in East Antarctica, which suggests that dust is increasingly correlated with Antarctic temperature as the climate becomes colder, indicative of a progressive coupling of the climates of Antarctica and lower latitudes.
