A library of decision support tools for combating wind erosion, sand encroachment, and sand and dust storms (SDS) within source areas. Click boxes below to filter tools by topic. Then scroll down to view and access tools.
Land potential and ecological dynamics Understand inherent susceptibility of land to wind erosion and possible mitigation outcomes
Land health monitoring tools Resources to support monitoring of past, present, and future wind erosion and SDS risk
Dust monitoring and forecasting Access satellite and ground-based dust observations and forecasts to monitor SDS activity
Drought and climate information Access weather and climate information, drought status and forecasts, and tools to build drought resilience
Wind erosion and SDS risk assessment Assess wind erosion, sand encroachment, and SDS risk across land use systems
Land health indicators and visualization tools Assess risk factors, describe SDS source area conditions, and prioritize land for mitigation
Soil conservation and dust mitigation practices Identify sustainable land management and dust mitigation practices, and plan restoration projects
