Deserts occupy more area of the surface of our planet than any other type of landscape. They occur in all climatic zones including the hottest and coldest locations on Earth. This program examines deserts around the world, explaining why they exist and the different climate drivers at work in their formation and physical characteristics. It also covers human life in deserts and the various ways in which people adapt to living in a dry environment, and their impact on fragile desert ecosystems. It features a range of imagery of different deserts around the world, and uses graphics to clearly explain the natural processes at work.

The Sahara Desert is located in the northern portion of Africa and covers over 3,500,000 square miles (9,000,000 sq km) or roughly 10% of the continent (image). It is bounded in the east by the Red Sea and it stretches west to the Atlantic Ocean. To the north, the Sahara Desert's northern boundary is the Mediterranean Sea, while in the south it ends at the Sahel, an area where the desert landscape transforms into a semi-arid tropical savanna.
Climate of the Sahara Desert
Although hot and extremely dry today, it is believed that the Sahara Desert has undergone various climatic shifts for the last few hundred thousand years. For example, during the last glaciation, it was bigger than it is today because precipitation in the area was low. But from 8000 BCE to 6000 BCE, precipitation in the desert increased because of the development of low pressure over ice sheets to its north. Once these ice sheets melted however, the low pressure shifted and the northern Sahara dried out but the south continued to receive moisture due to the presence of a monsoon.
Around 3400 BCE, the monsoon moved south to where it is today and the desert again dried out to the state it is in today. In addition, the presence of the Intertropical Convergence Zone, ITCZ, in the southern Sahara Desert prevents moisture from reaching the area, while storms north of the desert stop before reaching it as well. As a result, the annual rainfall in the Sahara is below 2.5 cm (25 mm) per year.
In addition to being extremely dry, the Sahara is also one of the hottest regions in the world. The average annual temperature for the desert is 86°F (30°C) but during the hottest months temperatures can exceed 122°F (50°C), with the highest temperature ever recorded at 136°F (58°C) in Aziziyah, Libya.

"Desertification is a fancy word for land that is turning to desert," begins Allan Savory in this quietly powerful talk. And terrifyingly, it's happening to about two-thirds of the world's grasslands, accelerating climate change and causing traditional grazing societies to descend into social chaos. Savory has devoted his life to stopping it. He now believes -- and his work so far shows -- that a surprising factor can protect grasslands and even reclaim degraded land that was once desert.

Desert climate (in the Köppen climate classification BWh and BWk, sometimes also BWn), also known as an arid climate, is a climate that does not meet the criteria to be classified as a polar climate, and in which precipitation is too low to sustain any vegetation at all, or at most a very scanty shrub.
An area that features this climate usually experiences less than 250 mm (10 inches) per year of precipitation and in some years may experience no precipitation at all. In some instances, an area may experience more than 250 mm of precipitation annually, but is considered a desert climate because the region loses more water via evapotranspiration than falls as precipitation (Tucson, Arizona and Alice Springs, Northern Territory are examples of this).

In some instances, an area may experience more than 250 mm of precipitation annually, but is considered a desert climate because the region loses more water via evapotranspiration than falls as precipitation (Tucson, Arizona and Alice Springs, Northern Territory are examples of this).
There are usually 2 or three variations of a desert climate: a hot desert climate (BWh), a cold desert climate (BWk) and, sometimes, a mild desert climate (BWh/BWn). Furthermore, to delineate "hot desert climates" from "cold desert climates", there are three widely used isotherms: either a mean annual temperature of 18 °C, or a mean temperature of 0 °C or -3 °C in the coldest month, so that a location with a "BW" type climate with the appropriate temperature above whichever isotherm is being used is classified as "hot arid" (BWh), and a location with the appropriate temperature below the given isotherm is classified as "cold arid" (BWk).

"Desertification is a fancy word for land that is turning to desert," begins Allan Savory in this quietly powerful talk. And terrifyingly, it's happening to about two-thirds of the world's grasslands, accelerating climate change and causing traditional grazing societies to descend into social chaos. Savory has devoted his life to stopping it. He now believes -- and his work so far shows -- that a surprising factor can protect grasslands and even reclaim degraded land that was once desert.

Desert climate (in the Köppen climate classification BWh and BWk, sometimes also BWn), also known as an arid climate, is a climate that does not meet the criteria to be classified as a polar climate, and in which precipitation is too low to sustain any vegetation at all, or at most a very scanty shrub.
An area that features this climate usually experiences less than 250 mm (10 inches) per year of precipitation and in some years may experience no precipitation at all. In some instances, an area may experience more than 250 mm of precipitation annually, but is considered a desert climate because the region loses more water via evapotranspiration than falls as precipitation (Tucson, Arizona and Alice Springs, Northern Territory are examples of this).

How to Green the Desert and Reverse Climate Change (March 2013 - TED talks)
Desertification of the world's grasslands, Allan Savory suggests, is the immediate cause of poverty, social breakdown, violence, cultural genocide -- and a significant contribution to climate change. In the 1960s, while working in Africa on the interrelated problems of increasing poverty and disappearing wildlife, Savory made a significant breakthrough in understanding the degradation and desertification of grassland ecosystems. After decades of study and collaboration, thousands of managers of land, livestock and wildlife on five continents today follow the methodology he calls "Holistic Management." Allan Savory: How to green the desert and reverse climate change: "Desertification is a fancy word for land that is turning to desert," begins Allan Savory in this quietly powerful talk. And... -

Like the deserts miss the rain: landscape change and climate variability in the world's drylands
David Nash - Professor of Physical Geography at the University of Brighton, presented his inaugural lecture on Thursday 17 November 2011 entitled: Like the deserts miss the rain: landscape change and climate variability in the world's drylands. Deserts are defined scientifically as areas that experience an annual moisture deficit. Paradoxically, water plays a vital role in shaping dryland landscapes. It acts as a solvent, slowly dissolving minerals and transporting them to sites where they may be deposited as near-surface crusts that bind soils and sediments together.

Allan Savory's presentation on how to green the desert and reverse climate change using livestock also mention that desertification perhaps is a bigger contributor to climate change than fossil fuels. It is believed that if desertification continues at today's rate we will be unable to stop the climate changing, even after eliminating the use of fossil fuels. Together with food security this is the most important reason to reduce and reverse desertification around the world. Better Globe has realized this and are working to reduce desertification through a slightly different approach. Better Globe has chosen tree planting in ASAL (Arid- Semi Arid Land), as a way to create jobs and sustainable development for local farmers and their families. Besides reducing desertification these trees will also provide timber from socially responsible and sustainable forestry without competing for fertile lands that could have been used for food production. With this slightly different strategy to halt desertification Better Globe can also reduce the impact increasing demand for timber has on natural forests.
It would be interesting to see in the future if Better Globe could also implement Allan Savory's strategy to help the farmers surrounding Better Globe's tree plantations, we hope so!

The Deserts make almost 1/5 of the planet Earth.The earths two major deserts lie on the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn. Green land and Antarctica are also a form of desert, they are known as Polar desert.
Deserts have very dry climate and the temperatures are extremely hot. The hot winds blowing in the deserts keep changing the sand dunes, The Colorado river flows from the rocky mountains to Mexico and supplies water to Los Angles and Phoenix.The Gulf of California is the important place for water animals.
The Takla Makan on the south is the one of the most coldest deserts, the temperatures dip to -24 degrees making conditions very dangerous.

David Nash - Professor of Physical Geography at the University of Brighton, presented his inaugural lecture on Thursday 17 November 2011 entitled: Like the deserts miss the rain: landscape change and climate variability in the world's drylands.
Deserts are defined scientifically as areas that experience an annual moisture deficit. Paradoxically, water plays a vital role in shaping dryland landscapes. It acts as a solvent, slowly dissolving minerals and transporting them to sites where they may be deposited as near-surface crusts that bind soils and sediments together.
On a larger scale, periods of above-normal rainfall may stimulate vegetation growth and limit the effects of the wind. Water is also vital for maintaining life, so much so that the historical writings of desert dwellers can be used to reconstruct past climate variations.
Drawing upon 20 years of research in the drylands of southern Africa, South America and southern Europe, this lecture explores some of these themes and considers the future for the world's drylands.
