Whether the worsening agriculture droughts will continue in the future is of great concern to both the public and the scientific community.

With a new analysis of long-term climate data, researchers say they now have a much better understanding of how climate change can impact and cause sea water temperatures on one side of the Indian Ocean to be so much warmer or cooler than the temperatures on the other

More than 90% of the world’s population is projected to face increased risks from the compound impacts of extreme heat and drought

One technique for restoring ecosystems in arid landscape with native plants "direct seeding" is promising, but has many drawbacks

Using a unique hydrogel, scientists in Saudi Arabia created a solar-driven system that successfully grows spinach by using water drawn from the air while producing electricity.

The energy absorbed by the pigments at the periphery of the complex is transferred within several picoseconds down the energy gradient to the center of the complex where it is transformed into metabolic energy

A new study uncovers a previously undocumented relationship between erosion and wind speed

This book highlights the approaches for achieving trans-disciplinary research integration for “semi-arid dryland agriculture systems” under changing climates

Ouvrage destiné à éclairer et conscientiser tous les acteurs et décideurs de la filière arachide

First collection of case studies and research projects on the sustainable technology of constructed wetlands for wastewater management under hot and arid climates

The book empirically shows that the impacts of climate variability on hydrology and water resources, and irrigation, water supply & sanitation systems are far more pronounced than the likely impacts of future change in climate.

The book utilizes a multidisciplinary approach with various state-of-the-art methods, approaches, and analytical techniques in environmental, meteorological, and hydrological sciences, providing case studies from the Middle East and North Africa region

On Arid Ground makes the case for looking beyond cotton and water in Central Asian context, for the powerful material role played by animals and plants, sand, silt, and salt in human histories

Cet ouvrage de référence, s’adresse à tous les acteurs de la filière, qu’ils soient concernés par les activités d’élevage, de conseil technique ou de soins aux grands camélidés

This book serves the purpose of showcasing some of the works in respect of applied research, field projects, and best practice to foster climate change adaptation across the region.
