Dust is usually considered as natural aerosol in the Earth system. However, it has been recognized that dust emissions are also related to anthropogenic activities (e.g., cultivation, grazing, construction, etc) and observations of dust deposition show a large increase in the industrial era. The emission of dust induced by anthropogenic activities (i.e., anthropogenic dust (AD)) are not represented in almost all the global climate models and its radiative climate impact remains unassessed. In this study, we propose a new and physically based method to parameterize AD emission in the DOE’s Energy Exascale Earth System Model version 1 (E3SMv1). This method relates AD emission to the crop land use fraction in the E3SMv1 land component and further constrains the emission by soil moisture content. We also apply the dust tagging technique in the model to explicitly track AD and natural dust (ND) in the atmosphere. Our new parameterization produces AD sources in the Great Plains in the North America, the Sahel and the Atlas Mountains in North Africa, East European Plain and Central Asia, highlands of Saudi Arabia in Middle East, Pakistan and North India in South Asia, as well as North and Northeast China plains in East Asia. The annual averaged AD emission is 584 Tg yr^-1 in present-day (PD), which contributes to 13.5% of total dust emission. Model evaluation against satellite and ground-based observations shows that the new parameterization can represent AD emissions and global dust cycle reasonably well. We also investigate the dust emission change from pre-industrial (PI) to PD. We find that due to the cropland use fraction change, the AD emission increases by 361 Tg yr^-1 from PI to PD, which induces a net direct radiative forcing of AD of -0.028 W m^-2. This cooling forcing is more than 10% of the current estimate of anthropogenic aerosol direct radiative forcing by the IPCC AR6 report, which indicates the non-negligible role of AD in the regional and global climate changes.
