A River of Dust: The Life-Giving Link Between North Africa and the Amazon
Jilanne Hoffmann
The narrative follows dust from North Africa’s Sahel, where seasonal harmattan winds lift it into the air. The Sahel dust joins dust from the Sahara and crosses the African continent and Atlantic Ocean before reaching the Amazon basin. The account describes it as returning to an old home after a journey of thousands of miles westward. Its particles carry material important to the Amazon, the Atlantic, and the planet.
