Risks associated with dust hazards are often underappreciated, a gap between the
knowledge pool and public awareness that can be costly for impacted communities. This …

Abstract Sand and Dust Storms (SDS) are often considered as a natural phenomenon
typical of the remote desert regions. It is becoming clear, however, that human activities also …

Dryland soil salinization strongly affects soil properties, with severe consequences for
regional ecology, agriculture and the aeolian dust dynamics. Given its climate-sensitivity it …

In this study, global reanalysis dataset fields of meteorological parameters (temperature and
geopotential height at different atmospheric levels) in the period 1948–2020, were used to …

Driven by the goal of reversing desertification and recovering degraded lands, a wide range
of vegetation restoration practices (such as planting and fencing) have been implemented in …

Daily atmospheric composition and meteorological data from MACC and ERA-5 reanalysis,
were combined to analyse the spatiotemporal variability of dust-aerosol optical depth …

The Earth's history is documented in human civilizations, soil layers, river movement, and
quiet sediments throughout millennia. This investigation explores the significant legacy of …

Terminal lakes in the Great Basin (GB) of the western US host critical wildlife habitat and
food for migrating birds and can be associated with serious human health and economic …

The incredible drying of the Aral Sea has resulted in a large area of exposed seafloor with
saline soils, which has led to catastrophic consequences. This study investigated ground …

This study develops a framework for spatiotemporal modeling of dust storm source
susceptibility in a critical case study, the Tigris-Euphrates River Basin, as a significant …
