Climate Change Implications and Use of Early Warning Systems for Global Dust Storms - Reducing Disaster: Early Warning Systems for Climate Change - page 157

and effects. With impending climate change and a growing global population, consensus
exists that additional research to fully understand the life cycle and prevalence of dust
storms is needed.
