title: Eolian origin of quartz in soils of hawaiian islands and in pacific pelagic sediments.
abstract: The particle-size distribution and oxygen-isotopic composition of quartz isolated from Hawaiian soils, east-central Pacific sediments, and tropospheric dusts are remarkably uniform. A common origin and tropospheric transport from continental land masses is suggested.
