Land degradation and desertification in drylands The Desertwatch team proposed a Session dedicated to desertification on the next EGU General Assembly 2012, within the Natural Hazards Programme Group. The session intends to be a forum for interdisciplinary exchange of research approaches and results, involving characterization of desertification causes and underlying factors, discussion on the linkages among desertification, global climate change and biodiversity loss, searching for reliable indicators, especially those of early-warning, and presentation of strategies for monitoring and combat desertification. Call for abstracts are now open until 17th January 2012. |

A small DWE Webstory on the ESA website : Satellites combat degrading lands As the UN marked World Food Day earlier this week, international representatives convened in Korea to discuss ways to curb the loss of productive land to desertification. Satellites play an important role in the monitoring and assessment of drylands. Desertification is the degradation of land in arid, semi-arid and dry sub-humid areas. It is caused primarily by human activities and climatic variations because dryland ecosystems are extremely vulnerable to over-exploitation, inappropriate land use and droughts. |
