Dust/sand storms are a common and important phenomenon in the arid and semi-arid regions of Kazakhstan, especially in its southern parts, where areas are covered by a great variety of deserts and offer a significant source of mineral and salt aerosols. The deserts of Kazakhstan mostly cover lowlands and extend from the eastern coast of the Caspian Sea to the piedmonts of the Tien-Shan Mountain. In Kazakhstan, desertification processes due to wind erosion in the form of dust/sand storms were observed in semi-desert and desert landscapes. 410 0$aEnvironmental Science and Engineering,$x1863-5520 606 $aEnvironmental sciences 606 $aEnvironmental geography 606 $aMeteorology 606 $aNatural disasters 606 $aMineral resources 606 $aStructural geology 606 $aEnvironmental Science and Engineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G37000 606 $aEnvironmental Geography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J19010 606 $aMeteorology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/312000 606 $aNatural Hazards$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G32000 606 $aMineral Resources$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G38010 606 $aStructural Geology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G17040 615 0$aEnvironmental sciences. 615 0$aEnvironmental geography. 615 0$aMeteorology. 615 0$aNatural disasters. 615 0$aMineral resources. 615 0$aStructural geology. 615 14$aEnvironmental Science and Engineering. 615 24$aEnvironmental Geography. 615 24$aMeteorology. 615 24$aNatural Hazards. 615 24$aMineral Resources. 615 24$aStructural Geology. 676 $a628 700 $aIssanova$b Gulnura$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01065468 702 $aAbuduwaili$b Jilili$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910159518303321 996 $aAeolian Processes as Dust Storms in the Deserts of Central Asia and Kazakhstan$92545803 997 $aUNINA
