Zodiacal Dust in The Earth Sciences

Planets Outside the Solar System: Theory and Observations

Abstract

Zodiacal dust will be a problem for infrared interferometric planetary searches, and much work is therefore in progress to improve our understanding of the dynamics and structure of circumstellar dust clouds in mature planetary systems. A serendipitous result from this work is the emergence of a new area in the Earth sciences, dedicated to studies of variations in terrestrial dust accretion and possible induced environmental effects. Some problems from this area are described, and illustrated with examples from current research.
