Desert Environment and Climate Observation Network over the Taklimakan Desert

Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 2020
AbstractAs the second-largest shifting sand desert worldwide, the Taklimakan Desert (TD) represents the typical aeolian landforms in arid regions as an important source of global dust aerosols. It directly affects the ecological environment and human health across East Asia. Thus, establishing a comprehensive environment and climate observation network

Cenozoic Climates in Deserts

2009
Deserts are superb repositories of geological, geomorphic and archaeological evidence. The very aridity to which they owe their existence has enabled them to preserve a remarkably good record of past depositional and erosional events. The fossil river valleys of the Sahara, the great salt lakes of Australia, China, and Patagonia, the dissected volcanic

Energy and Buildings, 1991
Abstract Architects today have at their disposal a rich variety of mechanical means to control the climatic environment in buildings they design. Consequently, it has become a common tendency to rely entirely on engineers and their equipment to achieve comfortable climatic conditions in building spaces.
