Browse Hierarchy GEOG6005: Arid Zone Environments

This module develops an understanding of the nature and extent of arid environments and their interaction with the global climate system. Long-term and short-term variations in climate, the nature and extent of drylands, and the rates and types of processes operating in these environments will be explored. Human impacts on drylands (desertification, salinization, deforestation) and the impact that future climate change may have on arid systems will also be examined.
