New review paper on sandy deserts

A large review paper on the sandy deserts in Iceland was recently published in the Aeolian Research journal, titled: The Icelandic volcanic aeolian environment: Processes and impacts — A review.  Iceland has extensive sandy deserts and rates among the dustiest places on Earth.  Preventing land degradation and restoring many of these deserts is a major challenge for the Icelandic society, just as it is in many of the severely degraded areas within the developing countries.  The conditions in Iceland, the severe land degradation and active restoration efforts are among the reasons for the location of the UN University Land Restoration Training Programme.  Such publication is valuable for teaching and research purposes at UNU-LRT.  Its lead author is professor Olafur Arnalds, UNU-LRT studies committee member and one of the key lecturer within UNU-LRT.
