Desert dunes may move faster, change direction, change shape, due to climate change. Our study with @LucieADelobel now out in @NatureClimate, #ClimateEmergency #desertdunes #barchans nature.com/articles/s41558-0…

The impact of #ClimateChange on wind could see Egypt’s world-famous sand dunes blown away by the end of the century, suggests @kclgeography study. Lead researcher Dr Andreas Baas (@SandStreamers) explains more in this piece for today's @theipaper ⬇ inews.co.uk/news/environment…

Climate change could destroy sand dunes near Egypt's pyramids by the end of the century

Study finds that changing wind patterns mean that the dunes will change shape and eventually disappear in the coming decades, impacting local economies, agriculture and housing

Approximately half of the large wildfires occurring between 2003 and 2020 were followed by dust events, storms of strong winds lifting dust and sand from dry soils, according to an analysis published in @NatureGeosci. go.nature.com/3D4kEsz

A new model by @DomRobson7 shows that barchan swarms in Morocco are dominated by aggregation-fragmentation, while swarms in Mauretania and on Mars are maintained mainly by exchange interactions. Physica A: doi.org/10.1016/j.physa.2022…

Our @kclgeography weather station on the Strand has not recorded a single drop of rain since 30th June. Neither have most of our other stations in the South-East. @h2020reset #FreeStation

The anatomy of our looming heatwave... The cut-off low spinning to the west of Portugal is helping intensify the heat over Moroccos & Iberia as we speak. This feature will essentially act like Europe's heat pump.
