With a focus on local and regional levels, the book offers an in-depth analysis of aeolian action as a physical process, causes of land degradation, and desertification. The causes and effects of land degradation were investigated by utilizing multiscale and multidisciplinary methodologies, merging spatial socioeconomic data with remote sensing data, and using multiple levels and disciplinary approaches. The book also describes how to combine GIS with cutting-edge technologies such as remote sensing, geostatistics, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDAX) analysis, and analytical hierarchy approaches, among others. Included is a thorough case study of the unusual but understudied semi-arid Anantapur district in Andhra Pradesh, South India. This book encourages the participation of all socioeconomic groups in decision-making and assists authorities and planners in developing suitable plans for the sustainable agricultural growth of an area. The book is an invaluable resource to comprehend and resolve issues about sustainable environmental planning and management. 410 0$aAdvances in Geographical and Environmental Sciences,$x2198-3550 606 $aNatural disasters 606 $aEnvironmental management 606 $aClimatology 606 $aSustainability 606 $aNatural Hazards 606 $aEnvironmental Management 606 $aClimate Sciences 606 $aSustainability 615 0$aNatural disasters. 615 0$aEnvironmental management. 615 0$aClimatology. 615 0$aSustainability. 615 14$aNatural Hazards. 615 24$aEnvironmental Management. 615 24$aClimate Sciences. 615 24$aSustainability. 676 $a551 676 $a363.34 700 $aBadapalli$b Pradeep Kumar$01435973 701 $aKottala$b Raghu Babu$01435974 701 $aPujari$b Padma Sree$01435975 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910755081403321 996 $aAeolian Desertification$93594014 997 $aUNINA
