The data sets relate to field campaigns conducted in various parts of Australia aimed at collecting samples from potential source areas of dust deflation. These are: Dust OZ-2 encompassing regions of South Australia and western New South Wales DUST OZ-3 covering parts of northern Western Australia DUST OZ-7 covering the Lake Eyre region in South Australia and along the Darling River up to Bourke in New South Wales DUST A-C samples taken by Franz Gingele in northern South Australia and the northwestern corner of Western Australia In addition, the data set labelled Murray Darling Basin (MDB) covers samples form rivers taken by Franz Gingele and already documented in Gingele, F.X. and De Deckker, P., 2005
