The Dynamic monitoring of aeolian desertification land distribution and its response to climate change in northern China

Aeolian desertification is poorly understood despite its importance for indicating environment change. Here the authors exploit Gaofen-1(GF-1) and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data to develop a quick and efficient method for large scale aeolian desertification dynamic monitoring in northern China. This method, which is based on Normalized Difference…

The Dynamic monitoring of aeolian desertification land distribution and its response to climate change in northern China
Climate change-induced migration and violent conflict

In a world of rising sea levels and melting glaciers, climate change is most likely occurring but with uncertain overall effects. I argue that we can predict the effects of climate change on migration by exploring the effects of environmental problems on migration in recent decades. People can adapt to these problems by staying in place and doing nothing, staying in place and mitigating the…
