Holocene climatic change in Hunshandake Desert [PDF]
Chinese Science Bulletin, 2004 Research on the geological data of Hunshandake Desert in China monsoon region revealed that Holocene summer monsoon had experienced six prevailing periods and seven weakening periods. The climatic humidity and the vegetation had also undergone the similar periodical variation influenced by the monsoon periodicity.

Simulated climate effects of desert irrigation geoengineering [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 AbstractGeoengineering, the deliberate large-scale manipulation of earth’s energy balance to counteract global warming, is an attractive proposition for sparsely populated deserts. We use the BNU and UVic Earth system models to simulate the effects of irrigating deserts under the RCP8.5 scenario.
