Arid and semi-arid lands, such as those in Arizona, occupy more than 40% of the Earth’s land surface. These landscapes contain forests, grasslands, agricultural, and built environments that may be affected by increased temperature and prolonged drought.
Our faculty are experts in:
- arid zone hydrology
- dust production and human exposures
- energy balance and soil/ecosystem response
- drought resiliency planning
- regional meteorology and climatology
