International Workshop
on Semi-Arid Land Surface-Atmosphere Interaction
August 9-13, 2007, Lanzhou, China
Background
Arid and semi-arid areas comprise about 30% of earth surface
Changes in climate and climate variability will likely have a
significant impact on these regions. Semi-arid land surface-
atmosphere interaction is not only one of the key issues in
climate change research, it has also become a common
Concern of governments and people. This workshop is intended to
review recent progress in understanding semi-arid land surface-
atmosphere interaction and provide a forum to promote international
cooperative studies on semi-arid climate change.
Key Topics of the workshop are:
• Land surface-atmosphere interactions
• Dust aerosol effect on hydrological cycle
• Climate change monitoring in semi-arid environment
• International cooperation on semi-arid research
